THE STORY - from zero to the top It all began with the entrepreneurial and engineering genius of Giancarlo Corbelli, after seeing at a Worldwide off-shore race, decided to turn EDWEISS ITALIA (in those days a leader in the production of tanks, fairings and accessories for motorbikes) in a nautical company. The company initially only worked for third parties, but in Corbelli’s mind an idea continued to grow to do something of his own, to bring new nautical innovations that he had already achieved in motorbikes. In 1982, Corbelli produced his first boat, that upon its launch demonstrated its many qualities, the speedboat reached speeds of 50 knots, not enough for Corbelli, that after a month of modifications was able to improve by another 10 knots. From there, Power Marine entered into a challenge without end with the tachometer and the laws of physics.
WHO ARE WE – just try one of our boats to find out Power Marine provides planning and construction of boats for pleasure, military and competition purposes in fibre composite. All the boats are characterized by high performance in terms of speed and sea worthiness. Power Marine does not limit itself to only realizing the “shell” but studies and produces artisan prime mechanical and technical components.
THE PHILOSOPHY – passion for speed love for style “When problems never come to a head, but continue in a logarithmic progress on the tachometetric scale, one thing leads to another, with a tendency that without certain limits could go on forever.” With these words Vogue Men introduces, with its magazine, Power Marine. The concept, that fully describes the company’s philosophy, very clearly: our progress continues indefinitely. We are constantly trying to evolve, without forgetting who we are and where we come from, we look ahead, to the horizon and beyond.
THE RACING DIVISION – innovation and research for maximum success Power Marine Off-Shore Racing Team in 1986 started an adventure in Worldwide competitions participating in, with monohull “v” 50 foot boat, at the Class-1 Italian, European and Worldwide levels, specifically in the latter, in New Zealand, with a placing on the podium, third place which was only a prelude to the numerous following successes. Power Marine Off-shore Racing Team in 1996, after 200 grand premiums, 15 boats constructed and numerous successes, decided not to participate any more directly in Class-1. Since those years has limited itself to only providing boats, components and assistance to third parties. Despite this, the successes continue bearing witness to the great efficiency of Power Marine and the boats constructed.
EXPERIENCE – We learn has we go Power Marine, a company founded on the fulfilment of a theory, thanks to 10 years spent directly in the racing world, was able to acquire experience and knowledge that is unknown in the majority of shipyards. All the knowledge accumulated was and is motivated by the desire to improve and excel. The research and development of those years has produced many improvements and the introduction of elements that are innovative for speedboat racing. One of these, in 1992, was introduced with a single central rudder, a system that even today proves to be the best performer and the most secure.
THE FUTURE – status symbol Power Marine is committed to reinventing the nautical concept and the mentality with which boats are built. Building boats just for the sake of building boats is a reductive concept and does not suit us. “we create boats to create fashion”, this slogan is our starting point.
