For the series “unique used boats,” AAA passionate owner wanted. There is an iconic boat, a piece of recent sailing history, looking for someone who can really take care of it.

Used boats – Yara, Sciarrelli’s masterpiece

Yara (15.25 x 4.16 m), the wooden Marconi sloop built in 1977 to a design by the great designer Carlo Sciarrelli, is for sale after 45 years in the hands of the Trevisiol family.

A veritable queen of used boats, Yara is back. After more than 40 years of absence from Italian shores, virtually unknown to enthusiasts, this beautiful 15-meter-long wooden sailing yacht, which has always belonged to the same family, has returned to sail in the upper Adriatic. The boat, launched in 1977 by Crosato Shipyard of Veneto, was designed by Carlo Sciarrelli of Trieste, the master designer of classic hulls who died in 2006( we told you Sciarrelli’s storyhere ).

Yara is a 15.25-meter-long wooden Marconi sloop launched in 1977 at the Piero Crosato shipyard, then based in Jesolo, in the province of Venice.

Mythical Used Boats – The Story of Yara

Yara’s “gestation” began in 1967, when Adriano Trevisiol, a Milanese entrepreneur, commissioned the embryo of the project from a young Carlo Sciarrelli, the Trieste-based yacht designer who died in 2006 at the age of 72 and was destined to become the most popular and important designer of wooden hulls with classic lines.

The family has no nautical traditions, and it seems that Trevisiol initially embarked on this adventure “unbeknownst” to his relatives. It was not until five years later that his approach to sailing would occur aboard a Tortuga 27, purchased and moored between Chiavari and Portofino. The “nautical test” was positive, and the entrepreneur scheduled a series of trips from Milan, where he resided, to Trieste to meet Sciarrelli and debate, apparently heatedly, what the boat should have looked like. In 1975 the provisional design became final, and once marked with the number 71, the construction contract was signed with the Piero Crosato shipyard in Jesolo, in the province of Venice, on February 26, 1976.

A boat ahead of its time

Construction continued until the summer of 1977, when the launching took place. Federico Lenardon, shipwright and designer of the Alto Adriatico Custom shipyard, also the only student admitted to Sciarrelli’s table, describes this project this way: ” … an unconscious flight forward by the great master to break away from the impositions of the IOR rules that were developing at that time.”

Why was Yara so far ahead of her time? One only has to look at it to realize that. Some examples: little or no deck, flushdeck, with the deckhouse ending at zero, concepts taken up today by modern and more prestigious boats!

The interior spaces are incredible, the weight arrangement modern, the interior walkable height more than 2 m, the maximum width more than four meters. Unusual for that period. Galley in the bow, far away so as not to smell the smells of food in the square, futuristic!
