Atmosphere 174

The name Perini Navi, the Italian shipyard, is synonymous with super sailboats. Atmosphere, over 174 feet (53 meters) in length and with three main decks, is a true work of art and should take its rightful place in this superior category. It is a real pleasure to feel the wind power its sails in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean.
