BENETTI DELIVERS FB277 M/Y “LANA”, A 107-METRE GIGA YACHT

Benetti’s in-house team created both the interior and exterior design of “LANA”, which has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, a beam of 15.2 metres and a gross tonnage of 3,900 GT. Stand out features such as a diesel-electric propulsion, a large swimming pool, helipad, spa and plenty of toys and tenders will make her one of the most exciting yachts on the scene. “LANA” has been managed by Imperial acting as Owner’s Representative and Build Supervisor. Following official delivery on 18th of June, today Benetti is boarding “LANA”’s final buyer’s supplies for her departure. “LANA” was kept at the yard during the winter season following the client’s desire to add, among others features, two Kongsberg wing stations state of the art in terms of complexity and innovation. It was the Client himself who lavished the first praise on “LANA” as soon as his final requirements were implemented and the yacht completed, stating: “I am absolutely satisfied with the work done by Benetti and Imperial together. “LANA” represents a statement of building excellence, every technical feature, every aesthetic element, every single detail was executed to perfection. I am glad we all made this way to prove a new level of Italian shipbuilding industry.” An extraordinary and rigorous amount of testing and commissioning of complex equipment was carried out in Livorno by Benetti technicians under the remote supervision and direction of the equipment’s manufacturers, respectively based in England, Norway and Sweden. In difficult circumstances, the remote approach that had to be adopted, also on technical aspects, proved to be a true test of a new way of working. “LANA”, one of the three 100m+ Giga yacht recently realised by the Italian yard, is truly a testament to Benetti’s commitment to championing a new era of large yacht building in Italy and the resounding success of the yard’s very first Giga season. Moreover “LANA” draws on all the benefits of Benetti’s heritage in pioneering technology, notable design collaborations, unparalleled quality standards and last, but not least, the iconic elegance. It’s no coincidence that “LANA” already won the “Yacht of the Year” award in the category of boats over 270 feet in length (over 82 metres) during the last edition of the World Yachts Trophies organised in Cannes Benetti’s President, Paolo Vitelli says: “We are proud to have delivered another Giga yacht in our Giga season. “LANA” is an example of excellence: outstanding quality, unique style, and an icon of Made in Italy. A particular thanks to the Owner who trusted Benetti for this creation.
