Doctor Faust, twin boat of the winning Karina Von Forell, was built in 1982 by the legendary SAI Ambrosini shipyards in Passignano sul Trasimeno, Umbria, a company founded by Milanese aeronautical engineer Angelo Ambrosini. Based on the design of ‘Karina’ (1978), Doctor Faust would remain one of the protagonists of the international sailing scene.
After remaining idle in the shipyard for over twenty years, it was restored and brought back to life in 2022. The refit was carried out by Cossutti Yacht Design, who restored the entire hull, respecting the original design, except for some adjustments made to make it more performant and sensible in the contemporary context, including a new rationalization of the deck layouts and the removal of the skeg in favor of a ‘hanging’ rudder. Today, it races again with considerable success.
