SYNOPSIS:

The leudo represents an evolution of the «liuto», or «lembo», two-masted vessels from the middle-ages, rigged with forward-raked masts topped with Mediterranean mast-caps.
The development of the jib brought about the disappearence of the trinquet (foremast) and a increased rake of the mainmast.
The geographical origin of the leudo id Catalogna and it was even for a time called a “catalzno” by sailors from Liguria.

The leudo was a ship-of-all-trades, used as a commercial trading vessel for the transportation of various products.
As a fishing boat, often alternating according to the season or to the local economy.

It had however, three main areas of activity that resulted in a particular Italian designation for each form of leudo whose shape varied depending upon its use.

The two Castagnola brothers' leudo built at Lavagna in 1913 was a wine-carrier. It carried wine in barrels and other containers that were stowed either in the hold or on deck, It was a “barancelle de transport” drawing 14.14 tons, 15 m long and with a maximum breadth of 4.68 m outside planking at deck level, and 1.55 m of depth-in-hold.
Iconographic records consist among other things, of documents and manuscripts. Historical and graphical documentation ha been used to draw every detail of the timber structure.

A hard-board box with flaps contains a 100-page booklet with more than 250 photographs nand drawings, in color when available.
A 20-page chapter explaining in detail, the construction of the rigging. The monograph includes the 11 plates necessary for the construction of the timber structure.

Were you able to check the plans for consistency?
That is, some of Fissore's former offerings were nice to look at but of rather dubious quality with some unfortunate oversights (frames which did not match the waterlines for example).
