Formula One met Formula Spars when Nelson Piquet, the three times Motor Racing Champion, enlisted the help of Formula Yacht Spars to design, develop and build the rig for his unique 64 metre superyacht, Pilar Rossi.
Completed in Italy, the yacht started life as a luxury 33 metre yacht that offered plenty of space for the race driver’s family, as well as the luxury expected by a motor racing legend. However, never one to stand still, Nelson, under the guidance of his uncle and Naval Architect, Mauricio Piquet, soon decided to change the vessel into a sailing super yacht by adding two masts, outriggers for stability, and extending the overall length of the model to 64 metres.
