The Vilanova Grand Marina yard in Barcelona, Spain, has helped to successfully manage a consortium effort to repaint the mast of the 54m (177ft) Perini Navi sailing yacht Parsifal III.

The two-month project consisted of repainting her 65m (213ft) carbon fibre mast, mizzen and booms.

Vilanova’s team, THL Yacht Riggers and Majorca-based paint company Rolling Stock Finishing & Refinishing, carried out the work.

«We are very satisfied with the smooth running of the project and final results,» says Parsifal III’s captain, Glenn Shephard. «The overall experience has been excellent for the adequacy of the facilities, the effort and professionalism of all teams involved, and the constant help and support from Vilanova’s staff.» (Superyacht Business, 20 February 2012)
