On the technical hand, La Pellegrina superyacht involves technologies of exception: the hull and superstructures are entirely built with a material inspired to the kevlar® qualities with carbon reinforcements. The La Pellegrina’s hull is the biggest piece ever moulded using the specific one piece infusion process.

This hull is clearly more shock resistant than a classic aluminium or polyester hull. La Pellegrina yacht is more rigid, more solid, lighter and then faster and more autonomous. The Couach shipyard prevails as the international leader in the implementation of this technology with over 30 years of experience.
