Italian term or phrase: nauticità
In particolare è richiesto sempre di migliorare la nauticità del prodotto per il reale utilizzo (navigazione) e non solo per quello in banchina.

I'm not sure about nauticità. Is it seaworthiness, maneuverability, handling? Or something else.

I think what they want to say is that it is to be used and not simply looked at, moored at the quay.

Any suggestions are welcome
