In
1983 she began chartering leaving from Fiumicino (Rome),
on board a sloop of 12 meters, which in 1985
transferred to the Balearic Islands. In 1987, when
she returned to Italy, she decided to settle in
northern Sardinia, close to nature and ideal
conditions to continue living her dream of sailing.
In 1988 she made her first Atlantic crossing to
Brazil. After returning from South America in
1990, she came up with the idea for the
steel boat.
Later
on she contacted the Orsa Maggiore shipyard, which
specilizes in the construction of metal boats, and
decided on the idea for the Rumbera.
Tiziana
moved into a roulotte inside the cantiere and
actively helped with the construction of the boat.
After two years the boat was ready for its
departure in October 1992 from Palau (Sardinia)
headed towards the Carribean Islands. She travelled
chartering between Antigua and Grenada, eventually arriving
in Venezuela, at Los Roques and returned to Palau
in 1994.
In
the following years she alternated working with
the Rumbera and in winter with private boats.
