Behold: the 1968 Sonny Levi G. Cinquanta Day Boat, commissioned by the Italian industrialist Gianni Agnelli – former head of Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Ferrari – the richest man in modern Italian history.

11.2 metres long and propelled by four 8.0litre V8 Vulcano engines with a combined power of 1280bhp, the hull is made from laminated mahogany with a Burmese teak deck.

Maintained in mint condition for over half a century and yours for upward of €220,000.

      Yeah but Janie
      There comes a time when you’re going to need the extra crew to help you pull your own weight

      That beauty there is a single hander
      No matter what stage of life you’re at

      I’ve already called time on Dingy sailing, Kiting and Windsurfing. Not that I was an all year rounder (not since the early noughties anyway)
      Same with the golf tbh

      And this would be just the job to keep me on the water
      Keep me hand in like

    that will be my next purchase
    (just as soon as I’ve gleaned sufficient guidance from the Russian hacked coronavirus research db’s and place appropriate bets on the stock exchange, that is)

    hey Matt, this looks very like the one you used to have, u still got it or was it problematic?

      Indeed. Had one of those. Italian rubbish. Used to go water-skiing off Killiney Beach about 15 years ago providing the horse power for Lorraine Keane and Katy French out the back of her. Hardest game in the world, the water-skiing. Undergunned; engine came from the FIAT 128 and she was weak across the beam. Broke up off Dalkey Island. Bought a 500 litre paddling pool and togs in Aldi instead. Never looked back.
