Their early sailing yachts were custom-built with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the highest standards of Italian craftsmanship in the early 20th century.
Surviving Baglietto sailing yachts from the 1920s are exceptionally scarce, making examples such as ANNIK highly desirable among collectors and classic yacht enthusiasts.
