I been writing here and on eliotropica many times about my passion for sailing, and sailing boats as well, and last week-end my job gave me the opportunity to experience motor yachts in my Versilia coast…..I have to admit that it was exciting, surprising and really great fun!!!!!
And moreover, those luxury motor boats are the top expression of Made in Italy: Design, Engineering, Fashion……. a perfect combination of a dream available just for few people…but still providing jobs to many, so a boating industry which must be supported in any possible way.
I was there assisting a group of international journalists, coming from all over the world, to try these fantastic new boats in Viareggio harbour, and to attend the convention of the most important Italian boating industry association (UCINA).
I met interesting people, I worked hard, but the chance to be on the coast with a fantastic weather and to try boats too, has been the perfect reward to my effort!
Images say more than words, I tried to shoot vdeos while sailing, I will just show 2, we were running up to 48 knots….. very hard to keep a camera in my hands, but still I want to share my emotions with you.
Tuscany from another point of view, the most beautiful frame for our Made in Italy yachts and motor boats in general… (sailing boats always in the pictures, anyway that’s my passion!)
