Gozzo 4m
Designed by Paolo Lodigiani
Four metres is about the smallest a gozzo, the traditional Italian fishing boat, can be drawn and still be the real thing rather than a model of one. It is also the minimum the Vela Latina Association accepts for organised racing, and that association has done a great deal to keep public attention on a type that looked to be dying out. The small size buys handiness, light weight, easy hauling up a beach, quick building and very little engine.
Four metres is about the smallest a gozzo can be drawn without becoming a model of one, which is why it is the minimum length the Vela Latina association admits to its regattas. Round hulled and strip planked, light and handy for the type.
What building a Gozzo 4m actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
