The Alpa 12.70 represents the zenith of the Alpa shipyard's collaboration with the legendary design office of Sparkman & Stephens. Introduced in the late 1960s, this 42foot cruiserracer was built at a time when Italian craftsmanship was merging with the innovative use of glassreinforced plastic (GRP). As design number 2026 in the Sparkman & Stephens portfolio, the 12.70 embodies the "Swanlike" aesthetic and robust seaworthiness that defined the era's premier offshore yachts. It was constructed with the heavyduty scantlings typical of Danilo Cattadori’s yard in Canneto sull'Oglio, ensuring a hull that remains stiff and reliable decades after its initial launch. The model was designed to compete with the highend European builds of the time, offering a Mediterranean flair to a hull shape that was globally recognized for its racing pedigree and bluewater capability.
