This official model boat of RIVA Ariston is built in mahogany exactly as the real boat with fitting parts ( chrom brass) built by our jewellers. Real upholstery. In order to obtain a perfectly smooth hull and deck, 5 layers of varnish are applied, intersected with increasingly fine stages of sanding. The final phase consists in applying several layers of gloss varnish to produce a ” mirror effect ” characteristic of these boats. This is the most exceptionnal Riva model with its exclusive licence.
