HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY<\/h1><\/div>In December 1987, a group of friends united by a shared passion for vintage boats decided to found an association that could give voice to this common interest. The first step was to choose a name that would represent its essence: thus ASDEC \u2013 Associazione Scafi d\u2019Epoca e Classici \u2013 Nautical Historical Register<\/strong> was born. <\/p>\nFrom its inception, ASDEC has had a clear objective: to bring together people passionate about vintage and classic boats<\/strong>. We wish to emphasize that ours is an association of people, not of boats<\/strong>: anyone who shares this love for traditional yachting is welcome. <\/p>\nWe speak of “hulls<\/strong>” and not generically of boats because we want to highlight our attachment to the noblest and most defining structure of a vessel<\/strong>: the hull itself. The word “vintage<\/strong>” refers to those vessels which, having exceeded 25 years of age, begin to be ennobled by time. However, our interest also extends to more recent boats which, while not strictly historic, embody the spirit, elegance, and tradition of classic construction<\/strong>: this is why we added the term “classic<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>WHAT DOES ASDEC PROPOSE?<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>OBJECTIVES<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>FIND OUT MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>HISTORICAL REGISTER<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>ASDEC is concretely committed to the conservation, valorization, and collection of documentation for vintage and classic hulls<\/b>.
