By the 1930s, by which time the business was managed by Pietro’s grandson, Serafino, the company was a leading manufacturer of small racing boats, many of which he raced himself.  At the same time, it began building pleasure boats. In the 1950s Serafino’s son Carlo transformed the business.  After a considerable struggle with his father to realise his ambitions, he created wooden boats of such exceptional style and elegance that they surpassed anything his competitors produced. Through a great deal of hard work, and some very clever marketing, the Riva brand became a worldwide legend courted by screen stars, royalty and businessmen alike.  Famous owners included Brigitte Bardot, pictured here on her Super Florida, Sophia Loren, Peter Sellers and many more besides. It is remarkable to think that Carlo Riva evolved the hull design, that is found in modern boats today, not by using high technology, but simply leaning over the bow of his boats and watching how the water parted.  A classic example of this evolution is to look at how the bow of the early boats moved from being virtually vertical to much more angled as it meets the water. Carlo also helped develop the technologies necessary to build his boats by way of wood laminates, varnishes, chrome plating and construction methods.  In addition there was the masterly development of the Riva Crusader engines which were eventually at the heart of driving his craft forwards.   Riva Olympic Zu Verkaufen – 1973 Kürzlich neue Sprühfarbe und Lack Polsterung in sehr gutem Zustand 270 HP V8 Crusader Riva Engine in hervorragendem Zustand Sonnenbad bereich Bimini-Top Wasserski-Stange Badeleiter Eiskühler Süßwasserdusche Inklusive Transportanhänger Abmessungen sind 6,55 x 2,55 Meter   Riva Olympic in vendita – 1973 Di recente nuova vernice spray e vernice Tappezzeria in ottime condizioni 270 HP V8 Crusader Riva Engine in ottime condizioni Area per prendere il sole Bimini top Polo Waterski Scala di nuoto Ghiacciatore Doccia d’acqua dolce Include un rimorchio per il trasporto Le dimensioni sono 6,55 x 2,55 metri
