The BARAONDA SAILMAKERS history began in the 1990 during the America's Cup Challenge of "Moro di Venezia".

In that occasion the present members of the sail loft (Paolo Badiali, Paolo Favaro and Andrea Marengo), engaged in the Gardini's league, exchanged ideas and opinions about designing and manufacturing sails.
The experience went on from February 1990 until May 1992  when the italian boat won the Louis Vuitton Cup and became one of the finalists in America's Cup.

After the Cup remains a wonderful memory, an experience and most of all a longing for  manufacturing sails following the new ideas.

All this became a reality in 1994 when the three sailmakers, again together, designed and manufactured the sails of 51' IMS "Muteki" that obtained good results in 1994 and 1995.

After the Muteki experience they needed to have a permanent sail-makers yard.

 

 

In February 1996 the "BARAONDA SAILMAKERS" was established in Caorle in Venice's province.

 

 

Baraonda is a copyright, but the co-operation with the other sail-lofts is at the center of its strategy. The self-interest in sport and in boat-races didn't delay in giving good results.
