Paxos was built by CRAGLIETTO for Marina Spaccarelli Bulgari for 1973 One Ton Championship and helmed by Admiral Agostino Straulino; S&S n° 2119. The owner had also Idra.
September 2025 After a complete restoration, the boat is back on the market, and a photo report is available. After proper rigging, the boat is extremely fast in light winds. Perfect for racing, but also comfortable for cruising given its size; excellent space and headroom in the saloon and cabin. The mahogany interiors are unique and stunning. Superlatives are a must on Paxos.
