This small "gozzo" is the most traditional among the three: built as an open boat and without competitive goals in mind, it represents the typical Ligurian sea "gozzo", which is easy to row, it is seaworthy and pleasant to use. The only positive difference compared to the classical one is represented by its strip planking construction method, which allows the creation of a more rigid, solid and light hull with much less working time required, as well as the elimination of 90% of maintenance problems.
