Biography

Fabio Buzzi was born in Lecco in 1943, from a family tied for centuries to the art of building and design.

His powerboat racing career started in 1960. He graduated in mechanical engineering in 1971 from the Polytechnic University of Turin where he took a degree in mechanical engineering with a thesis on a self-constructed vehicle.

He builds his first race boat in 1974, a three-point hydroplane called "Mostro" (Monster), the first boat ever built in Kevalr 49. He will set a world speed record (176,676 km/h) with this boat in the class S4 in 1978.
FB Design

In 1971 Buzzi founded FB Design, to build leisure, military and racing boats.

Initially the company focus was on race boats. When offshore power boat racing declined in the late 1990s, the company used its experience in high speed boat manufacturing to build military and fast patrol boats.
