Built for a keen yachtsman and competitor in regattas this boat was designed and constructed using the most up-to-date technology available. It was the first truly dual-purpose project. CITTA DI GRISOLERA is fast and victorious in regattas and right from her launching has won multiple Open races, offering performances of the very highest level. CITTA DI GRISOLERA is easy to manage and comfortable for cruising. Her speed, though, has often hidden her second spirit from the majority of people; she is a quiet family runabout, ready to give velocity when sailing, fun when under way and safety when cruising in total relaxation.
