INTERVIEW WITH OUR ITALIAN DEALER, PEDETTI YACHT SALES

"menorquín has been exceptionally well-received in the italian market since its introduction in 1996".

How Pedetti Yacht Sales was born and what has been its evolution until today?

Pedetti Yacht Sales was founded by Giancarlo Pedetti whom had a completely different occupation, which allowed him the pleasure to sail. One day, back in 1995, he decided to make a big step in his life and in the life of his relatives, moving from Monza, a small city close to Milan, to the seaside and starting his company in the marine business - indeed, Pedetti Yacht Sales, based in the touristic port of Lavagna.After very few months from its foundation, Pedetti Yacht Sales became dealer for Menorquin Yachts, and has distributed its fantastic boats since then to this very moment.Over the years, Pedetti Yacht Sales has grown into a renowned yacht sales and services company, specializing in new and used boat sales. With a commitment to professionalism and customer satisfaction, Pedetti Yacht Sales has become a leader in the industry, representing prestigious brands exclusively in Italy. Today, with a widespread sales network spanning from Lavagna to Nettuno and sales points in Naples, Salerno, Messina, and Porto Rosa, Pedetti Yacht Sales continues to uphold its reputation for excellence and dedication to serving boat owners with top-tier support and services.

How has Menorquín been received in the Italian market?

Menorquín has been exceptionally well-received in the Italian market since its introduction in 1996. We have sold over 400 boats in Italy, indicating a strong demand and satisfaction among customers. From the outset, the brand has distinguished itself by fostering customer loyalty, with boat owners often upgrading to a newer, larger Menorquín model as their families expanded. This customer retention has been a key strength for us and a defining characteristic of the Menorquín brand.

What really motivates and attracts an Italian shipowner to the M enorquin?

What truly motivates and attracts an Italian shipowner to the MEnorquin is its timeless classic style combined with craftsmanship in woodwork, which now, with the Sasga Yachts line, has been infused with a touch of modernity, making it both contemporary and timeless. Furthermore, the seaworthiness of a Menorquin is highly valued. It enables extended voyages, allowing owners to explore and truly live the sea, all while maintaining reduced fuel consumption and providing utmost comfort. Menorquin owners often spend many hours at sea, frequently with their entire families, experiencing a connection with the sea that only boats produced by Sasga Yachts can guarantee in the nautical landscape.

How would you describe the Italian nautical culture, how does it differ from surrounding areas or countries? How does Menorquin fit into this nautical culture ?

The Italian nautical culture is deeply ingrained and renowned worldwide, owing to the country's extensive coastlines, breathtaking landscapes, natural formations, islands, bays, and coastal cities. Italy's prominence in the nautical realty is further solidified by its status as the leading producer of boats globally, home to some of the most renowned shipyards.

Menorquin, now Sasga Yachts, has seamlessly integrated into the Italian boating sector, particularly within the domain of traditional « gozzi » In doing so, it has likely added an extra dimension compared to its competitors. This is because Sasga Yachts embody a unique blend of classic design, modern amenities, and exceptional craftsmanship, which resonates deeply with the discerning tastes of Italian shipowners. Their ability to deliver vessels that combine elegance, performance, and comfort aligns perfectly with the expectations and demands of the Italian nautical culture, making them a fitting choice for those who truly appreciate the art of maritime living.

The yachting industry is a constantly evolving sector, how are these changes being addressed by Pedetti Yacht Sales in coordination with Sasga Yachts?

The yachting industry indeed undergoes constant evolution, and Pedetti Yacht Sales, in collaboration with Sasga Yachts, is at the forefront of addressing these changes. As a leading dealer for Sasga Yachts, Pedetti Yacht Sales brings to the table unparalleled expertise in terms of sales, both in terms of numbers and years of experience. Moreover, Pedetti Yacht Sales itself has a rich history in boat production, having founded two shipyards, Austin Parker and Terranova Yachts, the latter specializing in yachts ranging from 20 to 35 meters.

In this regard, Pedetti Yacht Sales has provided significant contributions to the development of the Menorquin range and the creation and evolution of the Sasga Yachts range. This deep involvement in both production and distribution uniquely positions Pedetti Yacht Sales in its relationship with Sasga Yachts, setting it apart from any other distributor. This close collaboration ensures that Pedetti Yacht Sales is not only aware of industry changes but actively contributes to shaping and adapting to them, ensuring that both Sasga Yachts and Pedetti Yacht Sales remain at the forefront of innovation and excellence in the yachting sector.

History of Ryazan

Foundation of today’s ryazan.

The first settlements arose on the territory of today’s Ryazan as early as the Middle Paleolithic era (from 300,000 to 30,000 years ago). Near the city, in the village of Dubrovichi, archaeologists discovered a flint ax made more than 80 thousand years ago - the most ancient material monument found in the Ryazan region.

Slavic tribes, in this case the Vyatichi, came to the Oka around the 6th century AD. Already in the 7th-8th centuries, a whole network of settlements was founded around the future Ryazan. These people were mainly engaged in arable farming.

Until the middle of the 10th century, the Vyatichi, like several other East Slavic tribal unions, were politically dependent on the Khazar Khaganate (650-969). The Old Russian state played the decisive role in its decline. In 964, Prince Svyatoslav freed the last Slavic tribe of the Vyatichi dependent on the Khazars. The Ryazan and Murom lands were included into the Old Russian state.

The presence of several large settlements on this territory led to the need to create a single military center. In 1095, the town of Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky was founded on a high hill at the confluence of the Trubezh and Lybid rivers.

More Historical Facts…

Ryazan in the 12th-17th centuries

At the beginning of the 12th century, the Ryazan lands separated into an independent Murom-Ryazan principality. It was a time of rivalry between its two largest towns - Ryazan and Murom - for the right to be the capital of the new principality.

As a result, Ryazan, which was located about 50 km down the Oka River from Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, won, since it was here that the princely court was taking place, the episcopal see was located, feudal unions were concluded, from here the princely troops went on military campaigns. Moreover, Ryazan was well fortified. Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky by this time was one of the fortified outposts of the principality, surrounded by a network of guard posts.

In the winter of 1237, a large Mongol army (tens of thousands of people) approached the walls of Ryazan. This was one of the first episodes of the Mongol invasion of Rus and the western campaign of the Mongols. The town was captured after several days of siege.

The main military forces of the principality were defeated earlier in the battle on the Voronezh River. Ryazan with a population of up to 8 thousand people was completely destroyed. It was never able to recover and soon the few surviving residents left it. Today, this place is known as Old Ryazan. The capital of the principality was moved to Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky.

By the 14th century, Pereyaslavl was finally formed as the capital of the principality. The heart of the town was the fortress (kremlin) with wooden walls and twelve towers. At the beginning of the 15th century, the construction of the Ryazan Kremlin with stone buildings began. In 1611, during the Time of Troubles, Ryazan initiated the convening of the first people’s militia to free Moscow from the Poles. The Ryazan nobleman Prokopiy Lyapunov was elected its head.

Ryazan in the 18th-19th centuries

In 1778, with the formation of the Ryazan Governorship, Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky received the name Ryazan and its own coat of arms depicting the figure of the Prince with a sword in his hand. In 1780, the regular plan of Ryazan was approved.

The ensemble of the Ryazan Kremlin with the beautiful Assumption Cathedral (1693-1699) remained the center of the town. In 1787, an opera and drama theater, one of the oldest in Russia, was opened in Ryazan. By the end of the 18th century, about 8 thousand people lived in Ryazan.

In 1837, a large fire destroyed a lot of wooden buildings. The construction of new stone buildings began, including artillery barracks (the building of the hospital on Pervomaisky Avenue). In 1860, about 21.6 thousand people lived in Ryazan. In 1863, a railway line connected Ryazan with Moscow. Ryazan became a major railway hub. By 1897, the population of the city was 46 thousand people.

Ryazan in the 20th century

In 1913, the city power plant was put into operation. In December 1915, the first female teacher’s institute in the Russian Empire was founded in Ryazan. In 1930, after the liquidation of the Ryazan Governorate, Ryazan became a district center of Moscow Oblast. In 1937, it became the administrative center of the newly formed Ryazan Oblast. In 1939, its population was about 95,000.

In the fall of 1941, during the Second World War, the front line reached the Ryazan region. Ryazan was of great strategic importance, as highways connecting Moscow with the central and eastern regions of the country passed through it. German troops were stopped 30 kilometers from the city.

The rapid development of Ryazan began immediately after the war. The city turned into a large industrial, scientific, and military center of the European part of Russia, home to giant factories that occupied entire urban districts: the Ryazan oil refinery (the largest in Europe), “Ryazselmash” (the only manufacturer of potato harvesting equipment in the USSR), the calculating and analytical machine plant, the heavy forging and pressing equipment plant, the chemical fiber plant, etc.

Several large universities were opened in Ryazan - a medical university, a radio engineering academy, an agricultural institute, and an institute of culture. The military potential of the city was finally formed. Ryazan becomes the main training center for the Soviet Airborne Forces. The city was surrounded by numerous training centers and military training grounds.

Greening became one of the city’s fundamental development strategies. Ryazan was surrounded by green rings of forests and parks. Large parks were laid out in every district of the city. Ryazan was repeatedly declared the winner in greening among the cities of the Soviet Union. By 1987, the city’s population exceeded half a million people.

During the years of Soviet power, the population of Ryazan grew more than fivefold. The city participated in the state program for providing housing to builders of the North - a lot of workers of enterprises located beyond the Arctic Circle subsequently received apartments and registration in the city. Some decline in growth was observed in the 1990s, coinciding with the general demographic decline in Russia. In 1995, Ryazan celebrated its 900th anniversary.

The comments of our visitors.

I came to Ryazan in 1990 to fly hot air balloons! We all had great time and your hospitality was wonderful. Our translator was a girl called Olga who later came to visit us, with her mother, in the UK.

I never realised the incredible history of the area when I was there. It was such a short stay. I'm getting older now but will never forget your kindness. Maybe I'll plan another visit!

Great to read your website, I'm glad I found it. When Olga visited she gave us three small glass hedgehogs as a present which I still have and I was trying to find their origin! If you know Olga and mum say hallo from me!
