Racer Motonautica Categoria R3

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 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.
