The prize wants to highlight the products which are characterized by technological innovations, design, new materials, safety and environmental compliance.
The ceremony took place in presence of the Minister for Public Administration and Innovation Renato Brunetta, during the Mare Maggio, the cultural event organized by Expo Venice in the Arsenale of Venice.
The Spider represents the will to grow through the research of new concepts of style and improving the performance. The aim of the project remains the desire to combine speed with comfort and elegance with sportiness. Just to get these results, the shipyard worked with two of the most famous designers: the Victory Design, a team that has lots of experience and success even with racing boats, and the naval architecture studio Nuvolari-Lenard, famous throughout the world for his style.
Many Spider versions, from model "Perla" to model "V", available in many different colours, permit to the owner to distinguish himself as well as the Sarnico style, once again awarded.
