1763208178Code 8331 Leudo LigureScale model from the 1950s of a Ligurian lugsailboat, derived from the Ligurian leudo, with a wooden hull, cotton sails, and five oars. Dimensions: 64 x 18 x 64 cm (25.2 x 7.1 x 18 in).
The wooden hull has a rounded shape, with a raised bow and stern and a shallow bottom, suitable for landing on beaches. Propulsion was by oars, with an external tiller rudder.
This model represents a traditional Ligurian lugsail boat, characterized by a square sail mounted not at the center of the mast, but toward the upper third. It was a small fishing and coastal vessel, derived from the Ligurian leudo, from which it shares its rounded shape and simple yet efficient rig.
It was used along the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian coasts for the transport of light goods such as wine, oil, and timber, as well as for coastal fishing. The lugsail could be operated by one or two men and allowed for easy navigation even in irregular winds.
It spread throughout Liguria and was in use between the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in Sestri Levante, Lavagna, Camogli, Varazze, and as far as La Spezia. For over a century, it was a constant presence in small ports and became a symbol of traditional Ligurian seafaring.
