Defined by its impressive pedigree, this Renato Molinari Racer Motonautica Categoria R3 is a distinguished example of 1970s competition design. Built in 1979 for the demanding 24 Hours of Rouen, the Saffa model demonstrates the engineering prowess of the Molinari yard. This racing catamaran features a specialized wood hull construction, specifically engineered to handle the challenging waters encountered during its historic victory.
Maintaining a high level of authenticity, the vessel remains in its original state and retains the iconic SAFFA racing livery. The layout is optimized for competition, with the cockpit positioned forward and the engine bay located aft. The package includes the original transmission, fuel tank, and gauge cluster, making it an exceptional find for collectors of vintage maritime racing equipment.
At the heart of this craft lies the legendary FIAT 131 Abarth engine. While the unit requires a full mechanical overhaul, its presence completes the historical significance of the vessel. The boat has been meticulously stored indoors, which has preserved the integrity of the wood hull and the overall structural condition.
This Renato Molinari offering is ideally suited for private collections, maritime museums, or enthusiasts dedicated to the preservation of powerboat racing history. The sale includes a dedicated cradling system equipped with wheels for easier transport and storage.
Currently priced at 30.000 EUR, this vessel represents a significant piece of motonautical heritage. Prospective buyers are encouraged to reach out for further technical details or documentation regarding its provenance and historical racing record.
