Abstract
Historic ships are part of the cultural heritage of every state or nation. The protection, the valorization and the restoration of navigating boats of historic interest are recent practice in the phase of aging or encoding and we can certainly say that the longevity of a vessel is directly proportional to the frequency and quality with which the operations of permanent maintenance are carried out. At the same time the functionality of a vessel is closely related to the adjustment of the equipment and the necessary instrumentation to its navigation. So, there is a multiplicity of aspects that are crucial to the renovation of historical craft, including primarily ergonomics as key to the design of how to operate boats as ‘places to live and voyage in’ and technology (or instrumentation) as fundamental element of navigation systems. The paper try to understand and critically illustrate how the restoration of classic yachts (characterized by historical and cultural value) must correctly consider all ergonomic, functional and technological aspects in reference to all conservational issues.
