Racing
Motivated by the needs for high tech synergy and greater international recognition, the company entered in 1989, into offshore racing. The sporting results achieved were excellent. Norberto Ferretti won the Class 1 Offshore World Championship title in 1994.
The Ferretti team won the European Offshore Championship in 1995. In 1997 it won both European and World champion titles. The company attributes these winnings to a hi-tech hull designed with a carbon-fiber autoclave.

Famous quotes containing the word racing:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
