Perrotti has spent most of his career in America's Cup competition.
With indepth experience, he integrates the most advanced technology
into these state-of-the-art designs. From Freemantle to San Diego
to Auckland, Perrotti's insight and input have played critical roles
in helping yachts achieve their ultimate performance potential.
The "Auld
Mug"
Perrotti's design work
includes International America's Cup Class (IACC) and Twelve Meter
yachts such as:
America II
(US-42, US-44, US46) ~ Twelve Meters ~ 1987
The
Cup's "need for speed" entails years worth of meticulous
testing and research. Precise instrumentation and advanced computational
tools are used to measure the smallest of design differences that
ultimately translate into improvements in boat speed. Experienced
sailors realize that each increment (every fraction of a knot) counts
and that the collective sum leads to a successful campaign.
