BRAVA I-10300 Project
Pasquale Landolfi is one of the most competitive racers in Italy and boasts a long curriculum of regattas at the Admiral's Cup. His previous Brava, another Vallicelli project, garnered one of the highest scores in the 1983 Admiral's regattas. If Italy
had lined up a team with a third boat of the caliber of Brava and Almagores, the Cup would perhaps have taken another path.
In what was practically a triumph for boats with the lowest rating, Brava, with a rating of 32.2 feet, ranked at the
third place tied with Pinta behind Almagores and Sabina, each of whom had a three-point advantage. Landolfi has
It took three years to bring Brava to the top of his performance. He turned again to Andrea Vallicelli for his boat
that he was supposed to be a One-Tonner since he wanted to participate in the Admiral's Cup. Fast One-Tonners feature fractional equipment, which meant a completely different way of approaching racing for Landolfi and the
its crew always highly competitive.
For the new Brava, he turned to the Morri and Para shipyard in Rimini, which built a wooden hull with a deck of material
composite. It was launched at the beginning of 1984 and was part of the Italian team for the Sardinia Cup, finishing third
absolute place. The following year she was well on point for the Admiral's Cup and easily proved to be the best of the team
that year was rather weak.
Luigi Morri and Dino Para, friends and collaborators,
gave life to the Morri & Para Shipyard far back
1952, called "The luthier" by Andrea Vallicelli.
