What makes this gondola unique though, is that she was not built with such a disassembly in mind. In fact if her builder was still alive, he'd probably be angry to learn that she'd been cut to pieces, and thrilled to hear she was back together again. <br />I've seen some amazing things come out of the Providence operation, so I'm not surprised that they are the ones responsible for this new achievement.Gondola Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851059697312050099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156248092240493103.post-74292947801211663562011-02-22T14:09:57.069-08:002011-02-22T14:09:57.069-08:00Never heard of a 24 oars gondola.

She's rowed by eighteen oarmen and was built (like GSVVM quatordesona) in three pieces for easy transportation (not only on highways). That kind of boats are used only few times a year usually in parade, ceremonies and, of course, vogalonga.<br />In 2010 our quatordesona moved to Prague and was used during the Navalis 2010 events.staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528827868175353818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156248092240493103.post-65319319288844436082011-02-22T10:52:34.265-08:002011-02-22T10:52:34.265-08:00Amazing!

They probably require copious amounts of lint to seal the seams, however and don't spend a long time in the water.Tamáshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012640144696750753noreply@blogger.com
