The Italian Sea Group (TISG) has announced that the 53-metre sailing yacht Jasali II is the first Perini Navi yacht to be refitted at the Viareggio site. TISG acquired the historic Perini Navi and Picchiotti brands less than a year ago, and are celebrating the first Perini Navi refit at the Viareggio headquarters, as well as the restart of all production activities at the site.
