How many time have we dreamed fantastic scenario when we we were young? In front of the sea we watched for hours that boat of that fisherman go away on the horizon and we imagined with our paper boat to be able to live fantastic adventures in the middle of the sea. That’s amore is a boat for those of you who love the sea and the ocean. The boats are now in fibreglass, initially they were in wood. This boat is a reminder of its origins and its material somehow recalls wood craftsmanship.
