History

[edit]

Designed by Vincenzo Vittorio Baglietto, Caroly is a Bermudan-rig yawl, built in wood, commissioned by Riccardo Preve in 1948 and named after his wife Carolina. The Ligurian family continued to own Caroly up until 1982, where she was then donated to the Marina Militare to be used as a training ship for the students of the Italian Naval Academy of Livorno. In restored years 1998/1999.[clarification needed][citation needed]
