2024 April, For Sale Custom Frers Two Tonner 13m 1977, 40.000 €, Fiumicino, Roma. GARGANTUA is a Two Tonner racer-cruiser, 2nd class IOR, born from the happy union of the genius of naval architect German Frers and the skill of shipwright Arrigo Petronio who built it in his shipyard in Trieste. It is a fast and comfortable hull built of laminated wood, with six comfortable single beds and two berths in the saloon, a separate toilet with washbasin and toilet, and a full kitchen equipped with a fridge. Between 2019 and 2022 the boat was completely restored with work done to perfection, using excellent materials, by Tecnomar of Fiumicino. GARGANTUA was built for the family of Ferruccio Ferranti of Ancona, friends of Giulio Viezzoli owner of Histria Rossa, built by the same yard. In 1996 ownership passed to the second owner and in 2009 to the third who owned her for 10 years. This boat has never left European territory in the course of her history and was registered in the Italian register until 2020.
