Nei primi anni Sessanta, Nando Dell’Orto, campione motonautico, motorizzò con un 12 cilindri Ferrari, uno scafo dei Cantieri Timossi, un tre punti destinato alle gare per entrobordo classe 800 Kg, costruito nel 1953. Il motore era stato preparato da Rinaldo Tinarelli, più noto con il nome di "mago". La struttura dello scafo, in travetti di legno massello, ricoperta di compensato marino, formava un insieme elastico e robusto, capace di resistere al tormento di una gara.
La carenatura del motore e la pinna poppiera, verniciate in rosso con gli emblemi Ferrari, divennero ben presto simbolo di aggressività e di potenza.

In the early 'sixties, Nando Dell’Orto the famous powerboat racer, decided to mount a 12 cylinder Ferrari engine on a 3 point hull designed by the Timossi shipyards for the 800 kg inboard class and built in 1953. the engine was specially prepared by Rinaldo Tinarelli, better known as ""the wizard"". The hull structure, with solid wood formers and marine ply skin, was both flexible and strong enough to withstand the stresses of racing.
The engine fairing and tail fin, painted Ferrari red with the famous prancing horse logo, soon became synonyms for sheer power.
