VELA Cup Venice, a unique stage (and already thirty boats registered!).

This Venice then is a highly anticipated leg of the TAG Heuer VELA Cup 2022 circuit and will be accompanied in the organization by the enthusiasm of the Compagnia della Vela, one of the most prestigious and oldest yacht clubs in Italy. It is no coincidence that registrations are already pouring in, which as of today count some 30 crews. Among them are racing boats such as the Farr 30 Matrix, the Maxi Dolphin November and the Mini 6.50 Playtime2, but also cruiser cruisers such as the Comet 111 Carpe Diem and the Grand Soleil 37 Solleone. To these should also be added about fifteen crews aboard Meteors and SB20s, which always count many enthusiasts in Venice. All together, without snootiness or salt on the tail.

This is why those who have an Elan absolutely must come

Via we have already explained what the program of the TAG Heuer VELA Cup/Round The Lido Race will be (here all the details) and we have also told you all about the beauty of the course that in just 18 miles touches beautiful places with centuries of history (click here to read more). Now it is time to talk about a real regatta within the regatta. That is, the Elan Cup which will be combined with the Round The Lido Race and will be held on the same course.
