Information received today from Andrea Brambilla:
"VOLPINA V", designed by Ing. G. Cesare Carcano in late 1967 beginning 1968 (?). "Volpina V" is the last boat of the famous series.
Technical details: Loa 9,63 ml Lwl 6,89 ml B max 1,99 ml Draft 1,34 ml
Sail 29 mq displ. 2050 kg ballast 1160 kg.
I attach sail plan and lines.
Designer: ing. G.C. Carcano Italy
Builder: Cantiere Molinari Como Italy
First owner: Sig. Zeno Peretti Colò
Current location: unknown
Original sail number and country: ITA 056
First measurement: 19 april 1968
About this boat Ing. Carcano said: The boat was born, built and tested with a little keel. As it was impossible to take all the lead ballast in one little keel, part of this was taken onto the hull's bottom. In this condition the boat's vertical stability was excessively reduced; with advantages sailing downwind, but taking a handicap upwind. It was decided to make one change and, after a tuning, the boat was fast.
I know for sure the boat raced in Garda lake in may 1968 with other Volpina-boats and Ander, a design by Buizza. The performance of "Volpina V" was not excellent; the previous Volpina's were faster."
