Undergoing a dexterous reconfiguration of its exterior and a complete overhaul of its interior layout, the revered Pearl 72 sails anew under the guise of the enhanced Pearl 73.
The distinguishing feature of Pearl 73 is the incorporation of folding terraces on either side of the cockpit. While the predecessor, the Pearl 72, had drop-down platforms, the ones orchestrated on Pearl 73 sit further forward and create an impeccably large deck, notably enhancing the onboard vista.
Cosmetic modifications to the hull glazing, bulwark cutouts, and a refurbished flybridge hard top elevate the exterior allure of this marine gem. The saloon undergoes major changes, with the galley shifting to an aft position accompanied by a built-in bar and cozy stools in the cockpit, urging interaction between guests and the chef. A further notable evolution resides in the larger dining and lounging area, annexing harmonious aesthetic and functionality.
The sails are set and the selection process for Britain’s Youth America’s Cup Team is officially underway. The announcement comes from none other than Team Principal of Athena Pathway Programme (APP), Hannah Mills, at the America’s Cup Partnership event in Naples.
This marks the initiation for the Youth Squad to compete in the exciting spectacle of the Youth America’s Cup in Naples, slated for 2027. The programme, meritoriously backed by Cobham Ultra, nestles at the core of the team’s high-performance development blueprint. It aims at identifying, assessing, and honing British talent with the aptitude to contend in the grand Youth America’s Cup. It also nourishes progression into professional maritime careers.
