Un offshore chiamato ERAF
 

Benvenuto a bordo StefanoDesign
Brutta fine per un glorioso 36' italiano.
Senza offesa per te che hai collaborato a modernizzare la barca.
Nata nel 1972 come primo 36' di Giulio De Angelis che da poco aveva iniziato l'avventura nell'offshore sotto la spinta dell'amico-rivale Vincenzo Balestrieri,dopo tanti successi nelle gare di circuito,la barca originariamente era di colore celeste sulle murate e bianca in coperta e in carena e portava quello che diverra' il numero di De Angelis: il 96 e il nome ERAF dalle iniziali dei suoi 4 figli;Elio,Roberto,Andrea,Fabiana.
De Angelis disputo' con quella barca tre stagioni,1972,73 e 74 poi la abbandono' cedendola a Beppe Roda che nel 1976 disputo' la Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio lasciandola pressoche' inalterata nelle colorazioni ma ribattezzandola Damolu'(altro probabile acronimo) e usando il n.80.
Come Damolu' la barca rimase ad impolverarsi in un piccolo rimessaggio nella Darsena di Viareggio per qualche anno finche' un livornese industriale della carta, Meschi, cercando qualcosa per divertirsi d'estate imbatte' in essa.
Curata e preparata dal meccanico viareggino Antonini fu pronta per disputare la sua quinta ed ultima VBV,edizione 1980 nei colori di come e' fotografata nel post sopra.
Di lei non si e'saputo piu' niente fino ad oggi.
De Angelis ebbe poi altri 2 Cigarette 36' ex Lady Nara (II) di Bonelli e Black Tornado(I) di Balestrieri, sempre ribattezzati Eraf,ma questa e' un altra storia.

An offshore named ERAF
 

Welcome aboard StefanoDesign.
Ugly end for a glorious 36' Italian.
Without offense for you that you have collaborated to modernize the boat.
Been born in 1972 as first 36' of Giulio De Angelis that from few he had begun the adventure in the offshore under the push of the friend-rival Vincenzo Balestrieri, after so many successes in the circuit competitions,originally the boat was of sky blue color on the sides and white in deck and hull and brought what will become' the number of De Angelis: 96 and the name ERAF from the initials of his 4 sons;Elio, Roberto, Andrea, Fabiana.
De Angelis disputes' with that boat then three seasons 1972,73s and 74 abandon it and then sell it to Beppe Roda that in 1976 dispute the Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio leaving it nearly unchanged in the colorations but renaming it Damolu' (other probable acronym) and using the n.80.
As Damolu' the boat remained to take dust in a small shipyard in the Dock of Viareggio for a few years until' an industrial of the paper from Leghorn, Meschi, looking for something to have a good time him in summer comes upon' in it.
Taken care of and rigged by the mechanic Antonini it was ready to dispute the last VBV, edition 1980, in the colors of as and' photographed in the post above.
Of her we know nothing thin to today.
De Angelis had then other 2 Cigarette 36' the ex Lady Nara (II) of Bonelli and the Black Tornado (I) of Balestrieri, renamed always Eraf but this is another story.

if someone ever turns" lady nara" into a fishboat,keep it to yourself,i don't want to know,it's like hearing your childhood sweetheart is a...........

....now i can understand what it would be if i drastically change the appearance of my boat......
...STefano, are you sure the cutted deck has been destroied ?
I could have used it as a template.........

...considering the modifications in fiberglass for the outboards, why not make a new boat from her ??????(without destroyng a great 36 ??????)

What terrible news............................

I think I'd prefer to remember the boat like this. Marco - hope you don't mind I have pinched a shot from your archive at the address you give on a previous reply:-

what a classic racer it was.
