Dovesesto’s hull has been set up in Baglietto, Varazze ’shipyard, between 1942 and 1943. During and just after the war, pleasure navigation was facing an important crisis and Baglietto’shipyard decided to set up some fishing boats and three military hulls, nearly twins, meant to minesweeper, in order to avoid the dismissal of their plurispecialised workers. Right after, for unknown international political reasons the Military Navy suddenly decided to urgently build up in Baglietto’s shipyard 4 warship of the length of 50 mt each. For this period they were very modern and it was unknown, for military reasons, why they were built for, but they were probably meant to the interception of enemy ships in the Mediterranean sea. The ships were sold because of the urgency of clearing the building shipyard. Mr Fassio, at the time ship owner of about 30 merchant ships, has been very interested in baying one of those hulls, in order to transform it, providing proper equipments, into a private sailboat. He addressed himself to one of the most popular naval architect of the period, the British J. Laurent Giles who personally cured the design aspect and the management of works, that terminated in Genoa, in Sturla’shipyard. Few years later it has been launched with the name of Chrisor, in Greek mythology it was the name of the first sailor who put in the sea some lopped tree-treks in order to form a rudimentary hull by which Chrysor has navigated for the very first time in the world. After about 20 years Fassio Family sold the boat in England and nobody have known anything about it for a long time.
