Consent and participation for the vintage meetings of Onda Classica in Santa Margherita Ligure

The most famous Riva motorboat models will be present, from the Super Florida to the Olympic, Aquarama, Ariston and Junior, some of which were built over half a century ago. A 1980 Riva Caribe will instead represent the most recent history of the legendary shipyard, founded in 1842 in Sarnico on Lake Iseo. Among the large motor yachts is the 20-metre Italica, a Baglietto Minorca example launched exactly 60 years ago by the Ligurian shipyard of the same name in Varazze which this year celebrates 170 years of its birth. The boat was the subject of a recent extensive refit carried out by CARM of Lavagna.
Three boats come from the Lariana Boat Museum in Pianello Lario, on upper Lake Como, officially founded in 1982 by GianAlberto Zanoletti (1943-2019) inside an old spinning mill. The 1966 Venetian taxi Elisa from the Venetian shipyard Oscar, the 1963 runabout Pucci III from the Colombo shipyard and the 1934 Bob motor launch will represent what is considered one of the most important collections of boats in the world, numbering over 400 hulls. The guardian and curator of this reality is Ferdinando Zanoletti, president of the Barca Lariana Museum Foundation which has been promoting the culture of historic boats for years. In Santa Margherita Ligure there will be boats from the Bertram shipyard, an American brand founded in 1960, with other hulls that recall the golden age of vintage motoring. On the dock one of the oldest sailing boats in the Mediterranean, the gaff ketch Tirrenia II from 1914, 18 meters long, launched in England 110 years ago and still perfectly sailing today. There will also be another sailboat, the 19-metre Samurai from 1962, which from the day of its launch belonged to the Pavese family from Milan, who has won multiple victories on regatta courses throughout the Mediterranean. The classic wooden construction will evoke the famous Ligurian shipyard that built it, the Sangermani di Lavagna, a reality that is still operational today after almost 130 years of its foundation. The participation of Red, a robust Scottish motor yacht from 1947, is also expected.
