At the 1995 Italian Racer 2000 cc Championship, a new four-point hull built by the Clerici shipyard for the Parma driver Romanello Balocchi made its debut. At first glance, it is a classic racer with a front engine equipped, as far as the cockpit is concerned, with a survival capsule. This is a great novelty in a class like the racer, where the drivers are traditionalists and reluctant to pursue new paths in terms of safety. In my opinion, Balocchi's innovative hull must instead be considered as an important turning point which it would be advisable to follow up on since from 1996 the Federation will also require the use of the safety capsule for racers in circuit races. However, this imposition will not be shared and for three years the class will not be valid for the Italian Championship.

Returning to 1995, Balocchi presents his racer at the first race of the season at the Idroscalo in Milan and among the various conflicting opinions on the safety of this hull, there are those who maintain that the considerable weight of the capsule at the stern is a handicap and therefore lean towards a racer solution with forward guidance like in the catamaran or even think of building hulls inspired by the concept of the great American Unlimited.
During the 1995 season, Balocchi struggles a lot to make his vehicle competitive. In fact, after the first rather disappointing outing, he decides to make some changes such as, for example, opening a gap on the sides of the cockpit to improve visibility while racing, as initially the pilot was completely enclosed in the capsule itself. Later on, the boots will even be modified and, in a certain sense, the weight distribution will be improved.
For Balocchi, therefore, 1995 is an "experimental" season that sees him only in sixth place in the final classification while for the victory of the national title the fight is limited to the boats of Giuseppe Casanova, Massimo Saccani, Maurizio Anselmi and Antonio Bianchi. Massimo Saccani prevails, with only one point of advantage, over Casanova and Bianchi in that order. A beautiful championship characterized by exciting races and very tight duels experienced by the public with great interest.

Among these, Casanova's heat victory in San Nazzaro (PC) remains memorable. With his characteristic skill and craftsmanship, he recovered, a few metres from the finish line, on a completely incredulous Saccani who was now sure of success.

For the UIM the Inboard Corsa R2000 cc class is still recognized and the European Championship is held in Budapest. A title assigned with a final classification on the performance of the classic four heats in a single day. In this case we witness the authoritative victory of Franco Leidi who, on a DAC catamaran hull powered by a Mercury 2000 cc 280 HP engine, dominates the competition.
The Italian success is completed by the excellent second place of Arturo Bernasconi who also has a DAC catamaran powered by a Mercury engine of equal power to Leidi's. Even if our pilots present are only two it is evident that the superiority of their means is clear. On the contrary the Swedes continue to rely on the old Renault Turbo or Volvo Penta which are difficult to prepare and in any case, on paper, less fast than the Mercury.

From the circuit we come to the bottom. In the 1995 season the only long distance race that sees the absolute victory of an inboard racing hull is the Centomiglia del Lario. This happens thanks to the Italian-Swiss pilot Sandro Gianella who wins again, for the third time in the last four years, the prestigious and fortunate Como race piloting his catamaran Lucini-Lamborghini.
