Displacement, planing, or even flying? What kind of yachtsman are you? It starts, in collaboration with Suzuki Marine Italy, our first video podcast.
Objective? Understanding boats, starting with the basics and getting to the fundamental questions:
– How can I consume less?
– How to gain a few extra knots?
– What are the secrets to navigating safely?
– Propellers, which one to choose?
– The trim, cone to use it?
… and much more.
In short, a handbook-simple and intuitive-to understand the boat in order to conduct it in the best possible way, but also to choose the one that is tasty at the time of purchase.
What do we start with? From the basics of course, in this first episode we’ll talk about hulls:“Why Boats Float.“

A long journey, then, to understand the “numbers” of one’s boat, to improve its performance, but also to guide the way to purchase or refit.
And for the Genoa Boat Show, a special live episode on our channels and those of Suzuki Marine Italy.
