Years ago, while boating in Miami, Dr. Russo could not help but notice a splendid motor yacht that had arrived from Italy. "It was a knockout and I said to myself, I've gotta make a boat like that."
With some experience building a previous boat, Russo created a cardboard scale model of the flybridge motor yacht design that he envisioned and took his model to a prominent marine architect. Brought to life by Hill Marine of Seal Beach, California, of cold molded fiberglass and wood, she was launched in Long Beach in 1989. Russo and his family enjoyed the boat for three decades, extensively traveling the southern California coast to Newport Harbor, San Diego, and Catalina.
