Pininfarina signs the Design of the new Persico Fly40

The wait will end next week: the unveiling to the first owners of the full-size model of the Persico Fly40 is set for Thursday, February 24. The new Persico Marine foiling monotype, currently being produced in the Nembro factories, counts on a partner of the highest level for design: Pininfarina.

The project– Presented in 2021 by Persico Marine, the Persico Fly40 is designed by Caponnetto & Hueber and makes use of a unique engineering and construction team: the structural engineering is entrusted to Giovanni Belgrano of the New Zealander Pure, the hydraulic system to Cariboni, the rig design to Steve Wilson, the construction, of aerospace precision, will be carried out by Persico Marine who will use a team of highly specialized personnel. The project also sees the involvement of Pininfarina for the best design and style solutions. In order to better define the ergonomics on board, the mockup of the deck has been completed in recent weeks, while at the same time engineers and technicians are studying all the elements in detail with the most sophisticated design tools.

The entry of Pininfarina – The entry of Pininfarina into the design team is further proof of the value of the project. Daniele Mazzon, Chief Transportation and Yacht Designer of Pininfarina Nautical, declared: “It is for us of great prestige, but at the same time a natural consequence, to accompany Persico in the stylistic definition of the Persico Fly40, a boat whose design will reflect functionality, aerodynamics and performance. The experience gained with Persico over the years now reaches a new dimension where the maximum expression of sailing, performance and innovation meet.

The continuous search for perfect aerodynamics inherent in Pininfarina’s DNA led us to the design of a boat that flies on water thanks to the total adherence of the sails to the deck and the more developed musculature near the cockpit. We are proud to be part of the Persico Fly40 team and to accompany Marcello Persico together with Caponnetto Hueber in defining a new high performance market segment “.

guaranteeing the highest respect of monotype ever seen so far thanks to the use of the lamination technology of the Coriolis robot, used for aerospace production. Persico Fly40 raises the bar again in the production of sports boats with our brand, which joins the orders coming from the most competitive sailing teams in the world “

The Target  – The Persico Fly40 project is aimed at the world of owners interested in taking part in a high profile racing circuit, at the helm of a one-design foiler monohull directly derived from the experience and technology of the AC75 currently used in the America’s Cup . The Persico Fly40 is the one-design “flying” monohull that will exceed 40 knots of speed and offers a project that goes beyond the boat: the possibility of using it immediately in a dedicated racing circuit, to which is added assistance on most prestigious regatta fields, supplied directly by Persico Marine. For this reason, particular attention has been paid to logistics: the boat is designed to be disassembled and shipped at reduced costs, thus facilitating the organization of the international circuit.

Performance – The Persico Fly40 will rise from the water to enter full foiling mode already with 7 knots of real wind. The crew will consist of the owner and three or four other sailors, but depending on whether you race with light or medium / strong winds, engaged in the roles of sail adjustment, flight control and tactical. Furthermore, the extreme safety and ergonomics of the crew positions will allow the Persico Fly40 to have a possible guest on board.
