Sometimes the history of a boat can be lost, untraceable in the succession of hands and owners. Often, and especially, this happens to series, but old one-offs may not necessarily suffer the same fate. Such is the case with Nana, designed by Sparkman & Stephens and launched by Carlini in 1968, a twin of Heron. Today, her current owners (as of 2023) make an appeal: does anyone know her story?
AAA: Do you know the history of this boat? Nana, Carlini X S&S, 1968
Nana, as far as we know, was born in 1968, launched by Carlini Shipyards and designed by the New York firm Sparkman & Stephens. She is 10.68 meters long, is made of mahogany planking with laminated laminated frames, has trim tabs and, it would seem, is a twin of the better-known Heron. In 2023 she was purchased in Varazze by the current owners, who have carried out her restoration. Before then, however, darkness. And now, with the restoration complete, the duo would like to know more: if you have any information about it, please do not hesitate to reply to us via the comments or by writing to cl*********@***************la.com
