Laurent Giles 52 ft Marconi Cutter 1967 - Vendu

ILARIA, a magnificent Marconi cutter designed by Jack Laurent Giles was built in 1967 by the Beconcini yard in La Spezia. Following the experience of NINA, MIRANDA IV and MIRANDA V, she is a boat absolutely designed for the Mediterranean, not only by virtue of her performance but especially in her style - that of very good - and understated good taste.

Between 2000 and 2001 the boat was fully renovated and restored by the same shipyard that built her, also taking the opportunity to update, enhance and add to the facilities, optimising her comfort and safety for the present day. Her external mahogany recently stripped back to bare wood and re varnished with 10 coats leaves her gleaming.
