Is it a boat or a dinghy? Crossover. Ecco il nuovo ADV 7 (ADV sta per Adventure), il primo scafo in vetroresina realizzato dal cantiere cinese famoso in tutto il mondo per i suoi gommoni in alluminio (54.000 barche consegnate dal 2011). Perché è speciale? Perché entra nel mondo delle barche vere e proprie con un modello natante dotato di tubolari.

This is the first time this approach has been applied to this size, that is, seven meters. We have seen hulls such as the Sacs o Magazzù for D-Shape tubulars, or Skipper which in practice are boats in their own right, but with many points of contact with inflatable boats.

In general, however, we have always seen boats above 10 meters, that is, to be registered. Now comes a vessel model, i.e., small size that brings these features together. What are the main advantages of this approach? And the limitations? We discuss these in a preview in this video, but we will explore this topic in more detail in the near future.
