In the GOZZO 650, an attempt has been made to combine its classical lines with ease of operation, together with comfort – which the pleasure boater normally seeks in a boat, even if with modest dimensions. This has meant a few compromises: a small deckhouse to allow a minimum space below deck, a compatible trailing, maximum beam and weight, a powerful enough motor to allow quick transfers, a lateral plane of the hull to allow the sail to play not only a purely decorative or symbolic function. The ideal for which we have designed this boat is for day cruising, with frequent and long stops along the coast or in small coves. Internal comfort has been studied to suit two people, but daily trips may be done with larger crews. Hull construction is made in strip planking; the deck has a considerable camber, it is built in plywood and covered with teak strips. This is done not so much for embellishment (which would be improper and not in the spirit of this boat, and for this reason the strips are parallel to the longitudinal axes of the boat, which facilitates laying) but because, nowadays, teak represents the most pleasant deck material which to walk on
