Currently we surveyed at least a hundred different hulls grouped into a few large families. They range from small s'ciopon of five meters, used for hunting and fishing in the lagoon to the great lugger of 25 meters, not to mention the largest ships built in the Arsenal as the galleys or vessels. A heritage of the genre, that the world envied, it is not valued by us absolutely, in fact not a day goes by where one of the last traditional yachts will not be destroyed to make room for another plastic, but definitely more practical and far more anonymous ugly. The loss of traditions are added then the traffic problems caused by these new hulls, especially as regards the chemical pollution, and to the acoustic waves produced by their planing hulls.

To move around the lagoon environment in our traditional boats are still valid, their flat-bottomed fact allows to navigate even in a few inches of water and reach the farthest corners. The Vela "al terzo" allows you to take advantage of the breezes typical of the Adriatic, also the tree can be cut down easily to pass under the bridge. To say nothing of the rowing "Venetian", one of the most unusual but effective to push a boat, taking advantage of all the muscles of the body and simultaneously controlling the direction of the boat.
The boats are the most suitable, in addition to the gondola of course, the vogue for all those of the family of sandoli, to vogue and small sailing and nautical camping the topi and Sanpierote, to travel into the rivers the burci, for cruises to the broader bragossi and finally to the open sea the great Trabaccoli.
The photographs below are some models faithful to the original boats. Beside each picture the caption to some explanations of the boat, its origin, and the use of the period in which they were adoperate.
fore and aft, the Forcole make elegance and strength and it seems that is stretched and lowered. Is turning to approach, in its evolution, to today.
