on Faccenda boats
A benchmark for those who live for sailing
Cantiere Navale Faccenda operates in the production, repair, maintenance, and tuning of boats, with expertise developed in the world of competitive and youth sailing.
Every boat is born from the convergence of artisanal experience, technical competence, and direct understanding of the needs of those who sail and race. The same approach is applied to repair work, hull restoration, and the selection of accessories and equipment.
The relationship with athletes, coaches, instructors, and sailing clubs allows the shipyard to translate experience gained on the water into concrete, reliable, and continuously improved solutions.
Three locations, three complementary functions
The shipyard has three distinct sheds, each approximately 500 square meters. The separation of activities allows for more efficient organization of production, assistance, display, and assembly.

The first facility is dedicated to the molding and lamination processes for all models produced by Cantiere Navale Faccenda: Optimist, Vaurien, 420, 470, and Marta 5.10, a training boat designed and developed in-house by Marco Faccenda.
Here, fiberglass and composite material hulls take shape, crafted with precision by specialized technicians to achieve lightweight, strong, and high-performance structures.
