RONDINARA is a Fisher 37 motorsailer. The hull was built at Fairways Marine in 1976.
The boat was completed in Porto Santo Stefano Italy in 1976/77 by local boat builders workshops and first launched in 1977.
I bought the boat from a friend of me in fall 1982. Since 1982 some substantial modifications and improvements were realized.
Up to 2005 I used the boat unfortunately only one month per year. The range of the trips was therefore limited to the Tyrrhenian sea, Sicily channel and seas around Corsica and Sardinia.
I am retired since march 2006. My wife (the admiral) and me (the captain) live on board 7-8 months per year and are sailing in the mediterranean sea.

RONDINARA, the name of my boat, has nothing to do with the beautiful bay with the same name in the SE of Corsica Island. Rondinara is simply the name of a small village, situated next to Reggio Emilia, where my family is coming from and means the house of the swallows.
