Sciarrelli has always loved to define his CLAN creations as “boats to travel”, to represent the CLAN 2 concepts of comfort-safety-seafaring applied to his preferred classic design that has been defined with admiration by the famous French designer Mauric (Pen Duick IV of Tabarly) as “Boats designed with the heart”.

Sciarelli’s stunning boats have been characterised by an unmistakable design, by being fast and light weighted (but not excessively) as well as easy to steer. Sciarrelli was known for the fanatical care he was devoting to obtain a high course stability, natural consequence of the balance of the canoe body , that allows his boats to cross the oceans in the maximum safety.
