Storia di Gianfranco Alberini, primo Commorodo nella storia dello Yacht italiano.
DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Un manuale di successo, il cui autore, architetto navale ed esperto mondiale di navigazione da diporto, ci rivela con grande perizia tutti i segreti delle imbarcazioni da diporto, dell'aerodinamica e dell'idrodinamica. L'affascinante mondo della vela nella precisa analisi di un grande architetto navale che ci illustra l'incessante progresso delle imbarcazioni da regata e da crociera e il «salto di qualità» avvenuto nel diporto nautico durante gli anni Sessanta. Si tratta di un classico tra i più esaurienti e documentati su questo interessante argomento. Dagli anni Sessanta in Italia la navigazione da diporto ha avuto un grosso incremento; tuttavia le «signore dell'acqua» sono sempre le imbarcazioni a vela, in primo luogo per l'indiscusso fascino che esercitano, poi perché permettono l'impiego di qualità sportive che impegnano costantemente l'equipaggio, e infine perché, pur nella scia della tradizione classica, hanno saputo aggiornarsi modificandosi continuamente in base alle nuove scoperte e alle moderne teorie scientifiche. Redatto da un architetto navale assai noto, che è anche un esperto mondiale di navigazione da diporto, oltre che un entusiasta sportivo, Lo sport della vela riunisce per la prima volta in un unico volume dettagliate notizie sull'aerodinamica e l'idrodinamica, la storia dello yachting, le varie tecniche, le formule di classificazione, le differenti classi, le attrezzature, le vele, il motore ausiliario, la navigazione in generale, eccetera: insomma tutto quanto concerne il diporto velico. L'opera è già stata tradotta in tedesco e in inglese ed è stata a buon diritto definita come la migliore esistente: il largo successo che ha riscosso è dovuto, tra l'altro, alla forma semplice, chiara e concisa usata dall'autore. L'edizione italiana include numerosi aggiornamenti che la rendono di grande interesse storico-nautico. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: Lo sport della vela.

ill., br. "Il problema dell'arredamento navale va al di là della semplice questione di comodità, di eleganza, di gusto. Esso è, attraverso l'opera degli artisti e degli esecutori, una viva testimonianza del tenore della civiltà della Nazione che sulla nave esercita l'ospitalità". Così scriveva Gio Ponti nel 1931 su "Domus", commentando gli allestimenti di Gustavo Pulitzer Finali per la Victoria, prima nave passeggeri italiana. In quegli anni, e fino al secondo dopoguerra, il mondo dell'architettura, con i suoi più alti esponenti, collaborava attivamente con un'industria navale che accoglieva il codice moderno adattandolo alla consolidata tradizione artigianale italiana. Da le uniche sedi depositarie del sapere tecnico-scientifico del campo sono state le facoltà di ingegneria navale. Il volume, a metà tra saggio e manuale, raccoglie gli interventi teorici di alcuni tra i maggiori esperti italiani nelle materie navali, tutti docenti del Master Iuav, che affrontano molteplici temi d'interesse: dalla rinnovata progettazione navale alla costruzione sostenibile dei mezzi marini, dall'ingegneria costruttiva al disegno degli interni, alla formazione e all'insegnamento dell'architettura navale oggi, soffermandosi anche sui regolamenti dei Registri Navali, sulle marine e i porti commerciali, sull'aggiornamento delle normative in continua evoluzione.
ill., ril. Un viaggio avvincente nella nautica italiana a partire dagli anni cinquanta attraverso le vicende dei suoi protagonisti. Una storia che ripercorre le tappe che hanno condotto l'Italia a occupare i primi posti nella classifica mondiale dei produttori di megayacht. Nella seconda parte del libro, un focus particolare è dedicato al più importante protagonista, il Gruppo Azimut-Benetti, che, a detta dei suoi stessi competitor, ha portato all'eccellenza la nautica italiana così come quest'ultima ha trascinato verso l'alto la nautica mondiale.
