Maluba is named after its owners: Marisa and Luigi Balestra.

Though the name doesn't change, commitment to bleeding edge marine technology means that the boats are upgraded and replaced on a regular basis.

Since 2008, we have been racing on a Ker 39 by Jason Ker

Formerly, Luigi ran the boats below:

  • from 2001 to 2006
    IMX-40 by X-Yachts,
  • from 1996 to 2000
    IMX 38 by X-Yachts,
  • from 1992 to 1995
    Juwel 34
  • prior to that
    Solings and Stars
