At the beginning of the 1960s Nando Dell Orto, the famous motor-boat racer, decided to put a 12 cylinder Ferrari engine on a 3 point hull prepared by the Cantieri Timossi shipyard. The hull was designed for inboard races (class 800 kgs). The engine was prepared by Rinaldo Tinarelli, who was known as ‘the wizard’ , the structure of the hull was made of wooden joists covered with marine ply-wood. The engine fairing and the stern fin, both colored in Ferrari red and with Ferrari markings, became a symbol of power and aggressiveness. A highly detailed model and is suitable for RC.
