Who will be there this year at VELAFestival? We begin by taking you on a virtual tour of the docks and booths you will find in Santa Margherita to give you a first glimpse of the exhibitors who will be with us over the four days of the largest sailing festival, May 5-8. The VELAFestival is in fact a unique opportunity to find everything together that you can’t find anywhere else, the whole world of boating brought together in a sailing town, from boat equipment to sailmakers, from large shipyards to small dinghies, from sailing schools to charters, from electronics to clothing.
EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
We begin the tour by the big names in boating specializing in plant and deck equipment. You will find the highest quality ropes, sheets, braids, twists and twists made of high tenacity synthetic fibers and everything we need for the deck from Gottifredi and Maffioli, an absolute leader in this field. Italian Nautical Supplies will be at your disposal with nautical items and accessories, equipment and instrumentation of all kinds. Facnor will lead to Santa Margherita its worldwide experience in the design and manufacture of furling systems, from furling jibs to gennaker breakers and Code 0. Plastimo will be present with nautical safety equipment for the boat from the best compasses to life jackets. If, on the other hand, you are looking for marine diesel engines and boat generators, all you have to do is make a trip to Nanni Diesel to find what you are looking for. Bruntons Prop ellers has been making propellers for over 170 years and will have all types of propellers to show you if you are in doubt about which is best for your boat. Nauticplace and Marina Hardware marine stores will also be present with a plethora of products.
ELECTRONICS AND SPECIAL ACCESSORIES
If you are an electronics enthusiast the VELAFestival is the place to be, you will be able to range from the most classic and essential accessories on board to special accessories to take the edge off in regattas. GARMIN will present you with all the best electronic instrumentation you will need on board, being among the world leaders in the field. But wandering around the booths you can also find goodies such as the Taking Master a kind of clock that tells you when it is time to tack or theEsa Watch the first smartwatch designed for boating that provides you with all the information you need on your wrist to navigate well.
