Italian yard vid

Thanks Portofino. Love the Itama styling. Simply gorgeous. I've seen those launch sleds before in Italy but it is surprising that the yard doesn't have a crane or hoist for launching/retrieving boats
 
that slipway is scary tight!!!

makes the slipway on the yard I'm using look like a 4lane motorway (and it feels tight when reaching from the water!)

cheers

PS. they do use the wooden ladder thing a lot down here for the big and heavy trawlers and old wooden fishing boats 15-25m
 
Nice video indeed, thanks PF for the link.
Why anyone with pockets deep enough to buy and maintain an Itama 75 can bring her to a yard like this, that's completely beyond my understanding.
Then again, I used to be a Northern Marine fan (and still am, actually), but their launching technique was even worse, judging from the results... :ambivalence:

Forli near San Remo is inland its Ferretti HQ and where they now (2004) build ITAMA alongside Pershing .
It would a bit of a phaff to reverse this see vid below for a mid life refit . Aside I thought the Alfamarine yard seemed Ok .

Forli is they old factory. Then they have the new one in Cattolica only a step stone away from Rimini.

Forli builds Ferretti / Mochi / Itama till about 70 feet. Cattolica builds till Ferretti 960 including the bigger Mochi.
I think the big Itama Seventy Five was build at Pershing with fitting out at CRN in Ancona.

Alfamarina shipyard is rather out of the Fiumicino, the old Itama yard was actually more inside.
All in all both super yards.

Most of the best things in Italy has nearly always come from Rome-Naples area, like 60%

I'm not sure that the people in the industrial and commercial heartland of Italy between Genoa and Trieste will agree with that;)
 
Thanks for posting PF, Interesting video.

made me remember at my similar adventure in Fiumicino in 2012:

well P, I agree that it looks weird and oldfashion,
but you can not always’s judge the quality of the yard /workers on their boat lifting system, nor premises,
as the boating economy in Italy has been that bad in that period, so that not many of the yards had been able to re-invest… (in short)

see my link above,
at that time (or actually) the years before,
the cantieri Bussola in Fiumicino, was a very respected yard,
when I was there you could see they were suffering but they had a few qualified and experienced guy’s around.
In that period, the Cantieri Rizzardi in Ostia with a very big modern crane was suffering even more and not at all famous for good service.

Same for the yard Les Baux in Sanary sur mer France, with that oldfashion lift on rails,
Used to have some famous or “nice” ships as customer,
I heard they went bankrupt in 2014, not sure what is going on now
