Renato Molinari Racer Motonautica Categoria R3 d'occasion

Exceptional historical pedigree defines this 1978 Renato Molinari Racer Motonautica Categoria R3, famously known as the Saffa. This competition catamaran was engineered by the renowned Renato Molinari shipyard specifically for the grueling 24 Hours of Rouen race on the River Seine. Its unique hull geometry, constructed from compensato marino, allowed it to dominate choppy waters and secure a commanding victory with a pilot team consisting of Molinari, Vassena, and Panzeri. The vessel retains its authentic character, preserved in its original state and kept in covered storage to ensure its longevity. The hull still displays the iconic Saffa racing livery, providing an immediate visual connection to its competitive past. It remains equipped with its original instrumentation, fuel tank, and stern drive transmission system, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a preserved slice of powerboat racing history. At the heart of this racer lies a powerful FIAT 131 Abarth engine, included with the boat as part of the package. While the engine currently requires a revision, it serves as the essential mechanical component that powered this craft to its historic successes. The design features a distinct layout with the cockpit positioned forward, leaving the aft section dedicated entirely to housing the high-performance powerplant. This 6-meter racing catamaran is currently available for 30.000 EUR and includes an engine cradle equipped with wheels for easy handling. Due to its status as a significant piece of motonautica heritage, this boat is intended for collectors or those interested in restoring a classic competition craft to its former glory.
