You are absolutely correct, Mr Buzzi is a really nice guy. I had the good fortune to spend a couple of days with him back in 1992 working for the MoD. He was trying to sell boats, engines and drives so we got the full tour of FB Design, the Seatek factory and some of his workshops.
The kit he had in there was amazing, but what impressed me most was his attitude towards having the best. If a part wasn't available he would either design it himself or at the very least create a spec and commission someone else to build it. He took us out to lunch at the far end of Lake Como (in a white FB38 driven by him and a young Gianfranco [Zanoni?]) and everything on the boat was as designed (or spec'd) by him, the Seateks, the Trimax drives, the bolster seats, right down to the race helmets, oh, and the hull of course!
And to think I gave up that job for a promotion at work??
