Matteo Cigainero

A project of boatbuilder  Matteo Cigainero in collaboration with
 the yacht designer Leonardo Bortolami.

A-mare is a handcrafted boat made of wood and hemp fiber, born by 
the union of tradition and  the most current knowledge about composites
 and production technologies.

To love the sea and nature also means to respect them, so the materials and "low production" production processes used in building this ship are environmentally sustainable.

The design, inspired by traditional lifeboats from Northern Europe, gives the boat exceptional stability.

The structure is made on wooden slats and is united in composite joints (resin + hemp bio) form an elastic skeleton upon which is sewn in 100% natural hemp fiber, then waterproofed with bio resin.

A-mare is intended for rowing and sailing, and can also be equipped with an electric outboard motor.

Its light weight (30-35kg) further increases performance, and provides the ability to easily transport it without towi
