Preview of the Pershing 82’ - an icon of modern design and outstanding performance

21/12/2011

Once launched, the vessel will be put at sea in spring 2012. Pershing 82’, penciled by the yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni in close collaboration with AYT (Advanced Yacht Technology) and the team of architects and designers of Centro Stile Ferrettigroup, features an external profile that is more sleeper and aggressive than that of its predecessor, thanks to the shape of the wider lateral windows which can be opened, providing more interior brightness.

Sun-deck with a retractable platform
The elongated superstructure that enhances the new attractive forms and the introduction of a sun-deck with a retractable platform, which makes the yacht look slender and makes it possible to enjoy unparalleled heights, stand out immediately. After the success of Pershing 74’, Pershing 82’ returns with a sun-deck, that can be easily accessed from an automated hatch and a carbon steel staircase, a little mechanical masterpiece created by AYT in close collaboration with Besenzoni. The staircase is decentralized and drops automatically into the cockpit by electro-hydraulic control and automatically disappears upwards when closed, freeing the space in the cockpit.

3 or 4 guest cabins
Pershing 82’ is 24.97 metres long and has a maximum width of 5.50m with 4 comfortable guest cabins (the master suite amidships, a VIP cabin forward and two cabins with twin beds at the bow) for the standard layout, or 3 guest cabins for the optional version, with a lounge-cinema room starboard, and two crew cabins with three beds.

Engine options
Besides the innovative solutions designed for the external structure and for the design below deck, the new Pershing 82’ was developed to ensure maximum performance at sea: two powerful coupled MTU 16 V M93 of 2435 mhp (1792 kW) with Searex SR140S surface propellers of ZF that guarantee a maximum speed of 45 knots and a cruising speed of 40 knots and high levels of comfort, besides the autonomy of more than 300 nautical miles. The Autotrim of ZF contributes to the high technological level of this vessel. It is a system that is capable of optimizing performance at any speed automatically.
