Pershing Unveils New Pershing 140 Design
Italian yacht manufacturer Pershing has taken the drapes off their largest model yet, the Pershing 140. To be honest, it represents a departure from the regular design of 'Pershing' performance yachts in their line. The build will be of aluminium -different from composite boats they are accustomed to building-. For this reason perhaps, the 140 is expected to be built at CRN, their sister brand in the Ferretti Group. The bow design is a major change as well -just look at the renders-.
