Gavazzi PROTO used

Expertly built by the renowned Luciano Gavazzi in Rosignano Solvay, this 11.3-meter Gavazzi PROTO represents the pinnacle of classic wooden boat craftsmanship. Featuring a hull constructed of lamellar cedar, a mahogany plywood deck, and a Honduras cedar coachroof, the vessel stands out for its structural integrity and historical pedigree. Currently in excellent condition, this used boat has been the subject of significant recent maintenance to ensure reliability on the water. Technical updates are extensive, reflecting a commitment to modern functionality. The rigging was replaced in 2023, accompanied by the installation of a new autopilot, automatic bilge pump, and an updated fuel level sender. The interior and exterior benefit from recent care, including refreshed interior varnish, new cockpit floorboards, and a 2026 overhaul involving 12 coats of copal varnish. Electrical systems were modernized in 2025 with a new battery charger, batteries, and 220V wiring. Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of both a full set of Dacron sails and a laminate racing set. The interior layout provides comfortable accommodation with two cabins and one bathroom, supporting up to eight passengers on board. The engine has also been professionally serviced, ensuring the mechanical systems are as reliable as the restored wooden aesthetic. Safety and convenience items added in 2023 include a new passerelle, swim ladder, 4-person life raft, and self-inflating life jackets. The galley is equipped with an updated refrigerator, and the deck maintenance was completed with Interdeck non-slip coating. This classic vessel is currently located in Italy and is offered with VAT paid, excluding agency commissions. This boat is ideally suited for sailors who appreciate the tactile beauty of cedar and mahogany construction but require modern safety and electrical reliability. It caters to both casual cruisers and those looking to participate in classic regattas, given the dual sail inventory provided with the sale.
