Un classico veloce e robusto. III° classe RORC. Bellissima Iscrizione AIVE The boat is a fast cruising / racing sloop from a renowned designer and built by Cantiere Apollonio Trieste, one of Italy’s best yards. The boat was the subject of an extensive, lengthy, and expensive restoration. The restoration was undertaken as a result of a comprehensive survey carried out by a well known Scottish Marine Surveyor, engaged by the owner. Tecnomar, Fiumincino, Italy, is a very experienced wooden boat restorer and carried out the works, using top class materials and craftsmen. The boat since restoration, has been continually updated and maintained, and represents a unique opportunity to acquire a fine wooden classic boat, ready for voyaging and regatta participation  

  The Nerissa was built to the A1 Malta Cross standard of the Lloyds Register: the top quality. She is fully built in teak using a batch that was drying since more than 80 years! Her hull, her deck and her impressive dog-house (very difficult to build) are all of teak. All her floors (acacia built as the frames) are doubled with monel floors. The monel raises the full frame at chainplates and involves the two bilge stringers. A first quality building made thanks to the high craftmanship of her builder, the Beltrami Yard. Ing. Vincenzo Beltrami built during 50 years the finest boats in Italy. His Yard closed at his death, two years after the launch of Nerissa. In her fifty years of life, Nerissa has enjoyed the ownership of four persons, the present one, since more than twenty years already. Her most famous owner was the second, Count Alberto Marone Cinzano. She is a very fast vessel, capable of points of 13 plus knots and averages of 7 plus. Her present owner used her mainly for family cruises and club racing with friends. No doubt that with a good crew and new sails she can make a surprise in the classic races in the Med. She is in very good shape and very original. She was never restored, just kept in good mood by each owner and the present one has preserved her as she was twenty years ago. He just replaced the engine and the rig. She needs a new sails suit and, perhaps a check to the electronics. You can write us in Spanish English, French or Italian.
