THE STORY BEHIND RECLUTA

The Story Behind Recluta is Zelmira Frers’ first book. It started as a filmed documentary and then was transformed into a book of great historical and aesthetic value.

The book is composed of 258 pages of photographs and dialogues of profound beauty, capturing for the first time ever the intimacy of the creative process of designer Germán Frers and his team of nautical artisans.

Through a tale that spans three generations, The Story Behind Recluta is more than simply a book. It is an aesthetic and emotional account of a yacht’s destiny, as much as a history of Argentina’s golden era of yacht building.
