Built for competitive success, this 1978 Renato Molinari Racer Motonautica Categoria R3 remains a significant vessel in the history of offshore racing. Known for its performance in the 24 Heures de Rouen, this 6-meter catamarano features a hull crafted from compensato marino, specifically engineered to handle challenging water conditions during high-speed endurance events.
The vessel retains its authentic SAFFA racing livery and original hardware, including the transmission, steering wheel, and engine controls. Power is provided by a FIAT 131 Abarth Rally engine delivering 245 HP, which is currently set to be overhauled. The design configuration features a forward cockpit layout with the engine compartment positioned in the aft section, maintaining the balanced geometry required for its category.
This used boat is stored under cover and includes an original cradle equipped with wheels for easier transport and display. It serves as a rare acquisition for collectors or enthusiasts of vintage motorsport, offering an preserved state that reflects its professional racing pedigree.
Located in Lombardia, Italy, this historic racer is available for inspection. For further details on the technical specifications or to schedule a viewing, please contact our agency at Porto Carlo Riva, Calata Andrea Doria 2, 16035 - Rapallo (GE), Italy.
