RESTAURARE/RECONSTRUCTIE RIVA SUPER FLORIDA

Am organizat ptr clientul nostru olandez transportul Riva Nuvola Rossa de la Como-Italia ;
alaturi foto din procesul de restaurare a carenei , a motorului , tapiteriei, recromarea hardware punte,
am organizat in final transportul Haarlem-Olanda.

Santierul Riva/Italia este unul dintre cele mai renumite din lume; a produs pana in anii 80 salupe, barci cu motor, de la 5.50 la 10 m lungime ,ambarcatiuni clasice, design absolut unic,perfecte pana in cel mai mic detaliu, cu motoare de pana la 800 cp.

Salupele Riva, Boesch sunt echivalentul Rols Royce si Cadillac din zona auto.

"Nuvola Rossa"-Red Cloud o salupa "timpurie" Riva Super Florida mahon bordaj triplu fund din placaj special; motor benzina Chris Craft 235 cp, cutie viteze Thermocon Develvo, numar constructie 735. /1965, masoara 6,27x2,2m , cantareste 1200 kg.

Reconstructia a inceput in April s-a incheiat in Decembrie ;a durat 9 luni.
O restaurare minutioasa necesita acuratetze deosebita si multa migala ;
Feroneria de punte caracteristica a fost demontata slefuita/recromata.

Arta de executa acoperirea cu lac pentru obtinerea stralucirii specifice este stapanita de un numar foarte limitat de persoane.

Iata aici un film scurt care prezinta o salupa Riva Ariston , pentru a avea o idee despre stilul Riva.

Follows an internet article on RIVA SUPER FLORIDA design/model :
"The Florida was a longer version of the Sebino,its broadsides and deck were made from Honduras heartwood. It measured 5,40 x 1,91 metres and was powered by 95-hp or 120 hp Chris Crafts .The 1957 version,with Honduras laminate deck,replaced the Sebino. In 1961 it was fitted with the new 160 hp 8V Chris Craft .The hull finally totalled at 5,59 metres. This model went out of production in 1964. A total of 426 were sold. Current availability on market: Fair ( in Italy ) .

Florida Super & Super Florida
The first Florida Super was built in 1953 and was a larger version of the original,measuring 5,85x 2,15 metres. The 158 hp Chris Craft was replaced by a 175 hp in 1957 .In 1960,the name was changed to Super Florida. This was 5,9 metres long and powered by a 177 bhp Chrysler .
Between 1964 and 1967,it was changed again,ending up at 6,27 x2,2 metres with a Riva model 220 hp Crusader. It went out of production in 1968. 711 were sold in all. "

The restoration proves to be a lesson in boat building.The framing proportions and dimensions are perfect as are the engineering of all parts of the motorboat.Every design and construction solution went towards simplicity , strenght and durability.
