You have a Classic Boat, a historic boat built before 1999, and therefore more than 25 years old? Perfect, this news is especially for you. Motor Boatshas launched a campaign to celebrate and highlight so many of these great boats, often undervalued or forgotten, but real milestones in motor boating, key steps in bringing about the landscape as we know it today.
In the last period we have started a column intended to tell and celebrate Classic Boats, precisely those boats that, by design value, innovation or history, have been able to deeply mark their time, as well as the times to follow. Although this column will continue to be updated, we have also launched an online archive to celebrate single boats, your boats. We have created for you an online archive for your Classic Boats, a page where you can enter your boat and its history, while at the same time allowing you to browse through many others, like a great encyclopedia of the history of motor boating. Here’s how it works.
Let’s start with the basic requirements. As we have mentioned, it must be a boat whose design is at least 25 years old (1998) and which is made of fiberglass or, if nothing else, mass-produced. Of course, design quality and aesthetic value also matter, as do the builder’s site and the state of originality of the project. Because not all boats are the same. For One-Off projects, on the other hand, those boats made as a one-off, perhaps for an offshore race, or in a very limited series, the age factor does not change, but it still has to be a relevant design, signed by a great master and/or built with quality by an established shipyard. The standards related to fiberglass and/or mass production are dropped in this case. That said, the rest is dead simple.
