LEVI BOAT COMPANY, ITALY Levi Corsair 27 te koop (2002) in Chichester, Verenigd Koninkrijk

Renato Levi's sublime, race-bred Levi Corsair 27 is painfully pretty, finished like no other, and must be driven fast to be fully appreciated.

Extremely rare on the market and simply unparalleled in rough conditions, these boats are, quite simply, breathtaking.
