Oscar: born and raised in a Navy environment, he accompanied his father in the Naval Academy and learned to sail with a guy named Agostino Straulino (Star Class Olympic Gold Medal). Then sailed in many seas, warm and cold, as a bosun on the Italian Navy sailboat, Stella Polaris. Not easily chained by strict discipline, he soon cast off for himself, seeding a wide network of relationships in most Mediterranean countries. He knows nearly every harbour, wine, tavern and bay between Trieste and Trieste via Istambul and Gibraltar
Mauro: Born and raised in Trieste, on that Adriatic coast he knows so well and loves so much, Mauro 'Capitan Findus' graduated at the Nautical College. he soon started a life at sea on mineswepers first and on ships of the line afterwards.
He then bought his own vessel and started cruising extensively along the Dalmatian coast.
He sails to enjoy the pure beauty of the sea:
Brilliant attitude and chef 'extraordinaire', he keeps searching the hidden corners of the coast, looking for new places, new people, new wines and new taste
