The Boat

Legacy Under Sail

Legacy is a 48 meter Perini Navi ketch that was launched in 1995. Although her steel hull was originally fabricated in Turkey, the boat was

transported to Italy for construction at the main Perini Navi yard in Viareggio. From start to finish Legacy took more DSCF0018than 4 years and hundreds of thousands of man-hours to

complete. Since her launch, Legacy has traveled extensively throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Bahamas, and Eastern

United States in search of adventure.

Legacy is beautiful at rest and spectacular under sail. Legacy can carry almost 20,000ft2 of sail area from her two masts. While underway, the boat and sails can be controlled by a single person at the control station through the use of a state-of-the-art captive winch system. In order to balance out the tremendous amount of sail, Legacy is fitted with a rotating centerboard that weighs more than 50 tons and increases Legacy’s draft to 26 ft. when fully extended.
