Sailing through the Cinque Terre!

"There are more than 100 specimens of this fast Cantieri Navali boat in Ostia, suitable for strong winds and the qualities of the boliniere.

After the success of the canados 33, the architect Andrea Vallicelli was commissioned by Cantieri Navali di Ostia (Rome) to design a larger and just as fast boat. Thus the first three prototypes of the Canados 37 were born, which debuted at the 1980 One Ton Cup in Naples. The hull of this sloop is made of fiberglass with a sandwich cover. The shape, rather elongated with a maximum rearward beam, combined with a medium-heavy displacement, make it a boat with binary qualities and also suitable for strong wind conditions. In mass production, which exceeded 100 copies, the fractional rig was replaced with a masthead while, in order to have more space below deck for the aft cabin, some versions were offered with the central cockpit.
