ITA-45
Luna Rossa

You never forget the first love... and ITA-45 was it for me :-) It will always remain a hull full of charm, prestige, and pure beauty! 

As you know, to adapt a model to IACC120 Regulation, you have to modify a little the hull's volumes. In ITA-45 case I follow this philosophy: thanks to a photos taken to the true ITA-45 (when it was exhibited in Rome, at Piazza del Popolo), I have perfectly copy the side view. In this way I'm sure to have a model extremely close to the original! But to get extremely close to the original waterline... I should have a displacement of about 3750gr (too light for racing). The IACC120 regulation requires a minimum displacement if 4500gr and with this displacement the draft reaches 52.5 mm and the LOA becomes 977mm (excellent values for optimal performance)! So I think so: to create a model with a douple configuration:

1) If you want to take part of IACC120 regattas, you install the bulb 2850gr: in this way the project is designed and focused for the race trim, so you have peak performance.

2) If you are a purist of forms and volumes ... then bring the displacement at 4000gr (for example installing a bulb of 2350gr, like IOM). With the displacement the model will have a water line very close to the original.

I suggest painting the hull along the 4000gr waterline version, in this way the model, out of the water, will be very close to the original, regardless of the used bulbd.
