A powerboat icon died tonight in Italy while attempting to break an endurance record. Rest in peace Fabio Buzzi, Marcello Curioni and John Ryan.

OUCH!

An interview and portrait of the late signior Fabio Buzzi. Eric Colby, Powerboat Magazine, June 1997.

Like all articles by Mr Colby, so very well written and an excellent look into the brilliant mind of Buzzi.


"My father told me, You can do what You want in life only on one condition. You have to love what You are doing

and that way You will do it better than anyone."

"I'd like to be considered a bit different," he concludes. "Not only for being a powerboat racer or a designer.

I prefer people to understand my philosophy of life, the pleasure of creation."
