My good friend Nereo Zane sent these images from the other night
in the lagoon. Nereo wrote:
Last Saturday we finally launched the new caorlina "Gianni"
in memory of a historical member who died last year while working on the new carriages of Mestrina.
Mestrina, of course, is the GSVVM's 14-oar quattordesona, which was expertly designed and built by Agostino Amadi - a famous boat builder in Burano.
The Mestrina is so big, that she is transported to and from the hoist
on rolling cradles that some club members call "carriages".
Nereo also said:
This late afternoon we will be in two processions on Canal Grande with boats enlightened with led chains.
The boats look great, and very well-lit.
In fact it looks like they would do well in a Christmas parade
in Newport or Huntington Harbour.
