INNOVAZIONI E PROGETTI 256 FLARES
Michele Carnevale is one of those persons who never give up.
Surely a positive quality, especially if, and this is the case,
knowledge and experience are supported by the human perseverance.
After several experiences in well known yards and the necessary
training time, he has finally design his first boat.

Innovazioni e Progetti, is a yard which have shown a great
flexibility and which have a strong building background especially
in high quality and market oriented boats. The yard and the
designer have worked closely together to create a boat which take
into account the demands of the experienced boater.
The 256 Flares
is the perfect result of this research. The boat, introduced at
the last Genova International Boatshow, is 9.20 meters LOA while
the register length is 7.49 meters: this is an interesting factor
especially for the Italian market, because the craft is, according
to the Italian regulation, a small craft which do not need registration.
The nice overall lay-out of the 256 Flares ensure a
comfortable internal habitability. The joiner work is elegant with
its bright finishing while privacy and comfort are ensured by the
two cabins and the separated bathroom both extremely spacious. The
bow cabin feature a vanity usually found only an larger boats,
while the sliding roof give plenty of light and ventilation to the
saloon. The convertible pilot seat makes the galley working top
larger in few seconds.
On deck the 256 Flares is comfortable and spacious, without
disregarding safety.
Performance are interesting, although they are achieved with
relatively small engines. Stability and riding comfort are really outstanding.
The 256 Flares is a small/large boat: "small" for its register
length (an advantage for the Italian market) and "large" for all
the features which are included in this 9.2 meters LOA craft, thus
achieving an interesting value for price ratio.
