Description of Alessandro's sailboat
Sailboat Vallicelli Uldb 65 19.8m
I built ASPRA with the mold of the famous Nastro Azzurro and with the designer Andrea Vallicelli, changing some structural elements to make the interior more comfortable and improve sailing performance. A realization cured by me personally in every detail. The hull, made of kevlar sandwich with streamlined lines, is planing, but everyone tells me that the windward angle is phenomenal ... and it's true! The carbon mast, designed by Andy Steiner, Vittorio Landolfi and Luca Repetto, has a beautiful story, which I will gladly tell you, perhaps sipping a glass of wine at sunset. Aspra has sailed a lot both in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, is equipped with useful equipment and technologies to make it comfortable in any situation, and thanks to the watermaker, the wind generator and the solar panel, it can be really independent. I have been sailing since I was 15, first on dinghies, then as a sailing instructor, I was a professional skipper for a few years, also in the United States. After a few years of intense work as an architect, I built Aspra, with which I sailed a few times alone and a lot in company, for cruises, regattas and transfers, but what fascinates me is offshore sailing. On board I make use of the help of a sailor / instructor sometimes to guarantee my guests maximum peace of mind and the possibility of dedicating themselves if they wish, to maneuvers and life on board, according to a precise didactic path. Hostesses on request, possibly well in advance of the departure date. After about 40,000 miles of navigation in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Pacific, ASPRA is now moored in Porto Maurizio, in Imperia, a stone's throw from access to the beach, which is very convenient, because it is often pleasant to take a dip or walk on the sand before leaving the moorings or to regain contact with the land. Being moored in a port located in the center of the country not only makes it very easy to reach us, but also allows you to make use of the services that the town offers, from shops of any kind where you can buy fresh produce for the galley, to the many restaurants and to the excellent ice cream parlors, in addition to the medieval village of Parasio. Aspra is available for day trips, aperitifs at sunset, weekends and weeks, to welcome your parties or to organize your team building. Do not hesitate to contact us, we can study together the solution you are looking for. Aspra often hosts children on board, both me and my sailor are parents and it will be a pleasure to welcome children of all ages on board! The boat is sporty and essential but with everything necessary for comfortable sailing. It has 4 cabins and 3 bathrooms. in total there are 10 beds available to guests The boat also has a watermaker, solar panel, wind and heating system and a CCTV camera. various awnings, hammocks, sunbathing cushions and ice cream making machine .. as well as a complete set of 5 sails.

Marvellous, that is in one word how we experienced our 5 day sailing trip with Alessandro (and Raffaella!) on his well maintained sailing yacht Aspra. We were with 5 and enjoyed the Ligurian sea between Imperia and Portofino. We saw dolphins and even whales! The boat sails very easy / fast and it felt always very safe with Alessandro as skipper / captain and Raffaella as crew. Also the service on board was awesome: fresh coffee in the morning cold water melon the afternoon and a cold Prosecco or beer at sunset. Thanks again and we definitely will come back again!!
Great boat -build for speed so we were able to sail in light wind. Allesando is like a friend now - I hope to sail with him in the future.
Dream experience and adventure, in a group of 7 friends. Alessandro is a commander with a thousand resources with whom we immediately got in tune, kind and extremely hospitable, who fascinated us with exciting stories of real life. The beautiful and very comfortable boat We will meet again!
We sailed with Alessandro for a week, a competent, friendly captain… and also patient with children. To try.
