The Mastro d'Ascia Angiulin (Angiulin Shipwright) is a faithful reconstruction of the typical naval tradition of the island of San Pietro, created in homage to Angelo Biggio, a historic shipbuilder from Carloforte who, for decades, dedicated his life to boat building.

The name “Angiulin” represents recognition of his figure and his fundamental contribution to the preservation and transmission of the local shipbuilding art. His Carlofortinas marked an epoch and continue to be considered a benchmark in terms of construction quality, balance of lines and sailing ability.

The Mastro d'Ascia Angiulin was built by Giovannino Biggio and completed by Tonino Sanna, the last custodian of the art, using a late 19th century Carlofortine boat as a design base, respecting its original proportions, hull geometry and traditional lateen sail rig. This philological approach made it possible to bring back to life not just a boat, but an authentic historical model, faithful to the Carlofortine shipbuilding tradition, considered by many as the reference “model”. In the past, these vessels were mainly used to transport goods along the coastal routes: materials, local products and commercial cargo were moved between the island's ports and communities, playing a fundamental role in the maritime economy of the area. Their robust structure and ability to navigate both under sail and with the aid of oars made them perfect for daily work at sea.

Its sailing skills are recognised in the environment of traditional boat events: in all its participations in Latin sailing rallies and regattas, it has shown great competitiveness, always coming out on top and confirming that tradition is not only memory, but also performance at sea.

Today, Mastro d'Ascia Angiulin sails between Tavolara and the Island of Molara, offering passengers the authentic experience of a Latin sail combining history, elegance and nautical quality.
