Barberis Cantieri s.p.a.; cover, cost and conditions

The Barberis yard is tied to La Spezia in Liguria and to its founder, Giancarlo Barberis. It was among the first Italian yards to build sailing boats for both racing and cruising, and it built motor yachts as well. The Show range carries the spirit of those years: the Show 29 made its name at the 1973 Marseille regatta week, and in 1975 the yard turned to offshore racing with the Show 34, drawn by the American Doug Peterson together with Franco Anselmi Boretti. The boats pair sailing performance with a roomy cruising interior, the cruiser racer formula of the seventies.

Our model records hold seven sailing yachts from 7.9 to 12.65 metres. The Sciacchetra at 7.9 metres is the earliest entry, built from 1967 to 1981. The Show range grows in steps: the Show 26 at 7.9 metres and the Show 29 at 9 metres appear from 1971, the Show 34 at 10.3 metres from 1972, ending in 1982, 1983 and 1984 respectively. A second generation arrived in 1983 with the Show 32 at 9.75 metres, the Show 38 at 11.5 metres and the Show 42 at 12.65 metres, all running until 1991. That makes the Show 42 the largest design, and none reach the recent build years.

A Barberis today is a classic with thirty to fifty years behind it, and the survey matters more than any brochure. Look at the deck for soft spots around stanchions and fittings, check the keel bolts and the joint where keel meets hull, and ask about the age of the standing rigging. A racing background means many boats were sailed hard in their youth, so the mast step and chainplates deserve attention. Original interiors in good condition are part of the appeal, and owners who race in classic regattas tend to keep their boats in good order and their paperwork complete.
