The Boat

Questa barca a vela è nata dalla penna dello statunitense Dick Carter, che la disegnò per partecipare alle regate della Admiral cup.

Realizzata presso i cantieri “del Pardo”, famosi per la realizzazione dei Gran soleil, possiede indiscusse doti marine che la rendono adatta alle traversate oceaniche “ognitempo”.

Lo scafo in vetroresina dal grande spessore le ha permesso di essere classificata in “classe A” (adatta a navigazioni senza limiti dalla costa).

Esternamente ha una tuga “flush deck” (ovvero su un solo livello senza sovrastrutture), per un'ottima vivibilità esterna. Due pozzetti esterni, uno per l’equipaggio, uno per il timoniere.

La zona di poppa ha una plancetta esterna con scaletta per scendere a mare.

La zona “prendisole” è situata a prua dell’albero su comodi cuscini.

Un impianto stereo bluetooth ed il wi-fi permettono una confortevole permanenza a bordo degli ospiti.

Se pur lunga 14 mt. gli spazi interni permettono a 10 persone + skipper di trovare posti letto. Lo skipper ha una cabina privata a sua disposizione e per gli ospiti rimangono:

2 cabine matrimoniali
2 divano/letto matrimoniali in dinette
2 divani/letto singoli in dinette
2 bagni con doccia

IMPORTANTE: questa barca è dotata di ARIA CONDIZIONATA! Nel caso la temperatura lo richieda, e la barca sia ormeggiata in un porto con collegamento alla corrente elettrica di terra, lo skipper provvederà ad accendere l’impianto di aria condizionata, aumentando il comfort.

Un po’ al di sotto delle aspettative. Luca è molto gentile e disponibile, nonchè uno skipper esperto e ottimo cuoco. Tuttavia, per alcuni aspetti sono rimasta delusa, in particolare in considerazione del fatto che l’esperienza viene presentata come opzione un po’ più lussuosa e comoda (con consequente costo di partecipazione più alto della media). Le cabine sono particolarmente piccole (il [hidden] è una barca da regata riadattata). Inoltre mentre 3 cabine hanno il loro bagno privato, altre 5 persone condividono un unico bagno adiacente a una delle cabine. La hostess Sabina si è rivelata poco professionale e a tratti sgarbata nei confronti dei partecipanti. L’atmosfera si è distesa quando è andata via al terzo giorno della vacanza. Luca è stato bravissimo a sopperire la sua assenza, ma in ogni caso il servizio hostess che viene pagato nella quota non è stato coperto. Purtroppo non siamo potuti andare a vela a causa di un pezzo di sicurezza mancante. Per quanto sono cose che possono capitare, mi domando se la barca fosse stata soggetta alla necessaria manutenzione e controlli prima della partenza. Infine, le condizioni di pulizia della barca non erano ottimali. Già alla partenza, l’esterno era piuttosto sporco. Inoltre abbiamo avuto un problema di formiche a bordo per il quale non è stato fatto niente nonostante le varie lamentele e suggerimenti di acquistare un prodotto apposito.

The magic and beauty of the Pontine islands; Luke's competence; Sabina's efficiency and the pleasant discovery of a group of close-knit travel companions. What more could you ask for? A wonderful experience to be repeated for sure

I bring with me beautiful memories of my first experience on a sailing boat, an experience shared with a friend and with other nice people met on board the beautiful and comfortable boat that hosted us. The skipper Luca immediately gave me security and confidence thanks to his experience and skills, understandable even by a neophyte like me, and also delighted us with tasty meals consumed overlooking the wonderful views of the Pontine islands. Experience to do and repeat.

Very nice holiday. The boat is large with large and comfortable outdoor spaces. We sailed in the Pontine archipelago and admired and enjoyed truly wonderful places, with clear waters of a thousand colors and breathtaking views. Palmarola in particular is an enchantment. Luca was the added value of this cruise, skilled and capable Skipper always master of the situation, who instills security, kind caring, patient and magnificent cook. We ate really well. Excellent meals prepared with care and mainly fish. I did several cabin charter cruises, 3 with Sailsquare, without taking anything away from the others this was certainly the best. A heartfelt thanks to Luca and also to my wonderful travel companions.
