Nove is not just a boat. It's an idea — a return to the essence of sailing, where the scent of cedar mingles with salt air, and comfort is rooted in simplicity. Built from red cedar and carbon, Nove is a unique creation: a modern classic, born from passion, crafted with care, and designed to be sailed — not just shown.
The concept behind Nove was developed in close collaboration with Alessandro Vismara, whose design vision is evident in the distinctive deckhouse and balanced hull lines. Construction was entrusted to Officine Alto Adriatico, under the guidance of Giorgio Ferluga, a master shipwright in the Sciarrelli tradition.
The result is a bespoke vessel, unmistakably Italian in thought, execution, and soul — combining carbon engineering with classic shipbuilding.
This is not a racer's boat. It was designed for those who value beauty over speed, simplicity over complexity — for those who find joy not in beating the wind, but in being with it. A boat that feels like a place, not a machine — and yes, it smells like wood.
Though traditional in spirit, Nove is quietly reinforced by modern engineering. Carbon is used where it matters, adding strength and rigidity without compromising weight or balance. The result is a hull that feels safe, light under sail, and built to go far.
The deckhouse is Nove's standout feature — tall, rounded, with a small aft extension that shades the cockpit. The cockpit is split into two zones: a working area aft with dual helms and sail controls, and a slightly lowered social space protected by the deckhouse and guardrails, connected to the interior by a sliding glass door. Every detail balances function, elegance, and harmony.
Stepping inside Nove is like entering a private retreat. The materials, the layout, the light — everything speaks of warmth and balance.
The dinette is on the same level as the cockpit, with no steps in between — a rarity — and sits elevated for a 360° view through the curved deckhouse windows. Forward, three steps lead to the cabin area: two comfortable twin guest cabins and a spacious owner's suite with separate beds. All cabins have private bathrooms. The atmosphere is intimate and timeless, with wood as the protagonist.
The hull is built in red cedar planking over wooden frames. The deck is mahogany plywood. Structural elements are made from solid Douglas fir, while the keel structure is crafted from Iroko. In high-load areas — such as the chainplates, mast step, hull bottom, and floor timbers — carbon reinforcement has been added for strength and stability.
There's no other boat like Nove. She's not a yacht you step aboard — she's one you enter. She's not anonymous. She's a home, a vision, a sailing companion. Designed to cross the sea, to be lived in, to create stories. For someone who seeks something true, with soul, warmth, and craft behind every line and joint.
Nove is ready for her next chapter.
