CATARSI - CALAFURIA 7
Vincenzo Catarsi presents the new Calafuria 7, a boat capable of satisfying the most demanding
yachtsmen. The boat includes all the qualities that made the Calafuria range famous all over the
world. Even though small corrections were made by means of vanguard design techniques, the new "7"
maintains the special hull design common to and typical of the Calafuria range. The waterlines were
designed to obtain the best compromise between water tightness and speed, comfort and safety. The
boat is very stable, even with stern waves. She is quite fast even if without a V-hull.

The stability of the boat is excellent, both at high speeds as well as at anchor: even abrupt load
variations do not trigger dangerous heeling. Special attention was given to adequate interior
arrangement and decoration. As a matter of fact, interior space is ample. Forward there is the
classical V-berth with separated toilet. Amidships, there is the dinette with a fully equipped
galley and on starboard side there is the helm station.
The Calafuria 7 is a boat that doubtlessly attracts deep-sea fishermen, not so much for her
performance, as for her strong built and versatility of her deck arrangements. The ample cockpit is
fitted with several lockers, a bait well, etc., and it is indeed adequate for any type of fishing.
The tested boat, in addition to the double engine throttle levers fitted aft that are very useful
for fishermen, the famous "Spingo", the stern drive leg with pneumatic oil transmission and own
power was also fitted. Spingo is ideal for trolling and may be also used as an auxiliary propelling
unit.
