We are excited to present our partnership with the Revel Sailing Team, a group of young students from the University Campus of La Spezia and from theUniversity of Genoa, united by a passion for engineering and nautical design. This collaboration resulted in “Alba,” a skiff that embodies the values of innovation, research and performance.
The birth of “Alba”: a dream come true
The “Alba” project is not just a boat, but a symbol of dedication and ambition. As Matteo, a yacht design student at the University of Genoa and project leader of the Revel Sailing Team, explained, the path to creating this boat was marked by technical challenges and personal sacrifices.
Every component of the skiff is precisely designed to ensure:
- Robustness, to cope with the most challenging conditions.
- Stability, to optimize racing performance.
- Safety, essential in any nautical project.
- Sustainability, with innovative materials and environmentally friendly construction processes.

The partnership with Revel Sailing Team: innovation and experience in the service of talent
Mascherpa supported the project by supplying not only high-quality technical materials, such asadvanced composite resin systemsfor hull construction and structural components, and linen fiber fabrics, but also engineering know-how and solutions. This exchange allowed students to confront professional standards, furthering their technical and human development.
“For us, this partnership has been much more than technical support,” team members recount. “It has been a unique opportunity to grow and learn.” We at Mascherpa are very happy that this message got through to the kids and that the partnership did not stop at just support from a materials standpoint.
Here are some of the guys on the team:

Union of values and skills for the future of the marine industry
The collaboration between Revel Sailing Team and Mascherpa represents a virtuous encounter between two entities that share core values: innovation, practical training, and the constant pursuit of excellence.
This partnership underscores the importance of creating synergies between academic and business expertise, actively contributing to the development of innovative solutions for the marine industry. By combining resources and know-how, the two entities demonstrate how research and education can translate into concrete projects capable of leaving a positive impact on the environment and the community.
A project between academia and industry
For Mascherpa, this partnership with the Reveal Sailing Team represents an extraordinary opportunity to connect academia and industry. Supporting young talent means investing in the future, promoting innovation and fueling a passion for excellence.
“Alba” has become a symbol of this shared commitment: a marriage of advanced technology and human values.
Behind every detail of “Dawn” are nights of hard work and tireless passion. The team worked until dawn, driven by the desire to overcome every challenge and see their project come to life. Every minute devoted to this boat reflects the innovative spirit and desire to build the future of boating.
