From 1954 to 1975, the Milan-based San Marco boatyard wrote some
of the most interesting pages in the post-war history of
powerboating. San Marco is the only yard that has extensively used
Italian car engines for both its racing and production boats,
including those of Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat and
Abarth. The yard produced such models as the 600 Del Mare,
Giulietta del Mare, Appia; all fast and prestigious wooden
runabouts with elegant lines and refined details. Like a fashion
designer or a famous Italian coachbuilder, for over 20 years Oscar
Scarpa, founder of the yard, promoted a tradition of excellence,
building several hundred exclusive boats with his son Sandro each
with unique specifications, either technical or aesthetic, and all
beautifully finished. The San Marco boatyard has also enjoyed a
successful racing career, with more than 30 world speed records and
hundreds of victories to its credit at the highest competitive
level - often with Oscar Scarpa in the driver's seat This book is
both a tribute to the full history of the San Marco boatyard and
its unique contribution to the world of speed boats. "Racing Cars
of the Sea" is illustrated with a remarkable collection of hundreds
of unpublished archival documents and photographs, as well as
detailed information, including extensive production and racing
records.
