Amerigo Vespucci hosts the Opening of the Pink Ribbon Tour 2023

Big party for the opening ceremony of the Navy Pink Ribbon Tour 2023. Aboard the sailing ship in Genoa harbor on June 29, stages and teams of the Giro d’Italia a Vela, the “highlight” event of the circuit, will be presented.

For an exceptional event, an extraordinary godmother, the very symbol of sailing and sea culture. We are talking about theAmerigo Vespucci, the Italian Navy‘s training ship, which about to set sail for a round-the-world voyage, will host the opening ceremony of the 3rd edition of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour in Genoa on June 29. Sports sailing, modern and technological, and Navy deployed with its historic symbol, so loved and admired by all. Two fascinating and strongly adjacent worlds that refer to each other in an interplay of seafaring suggestions and solid human values that from tradition proudly relaunch themselves toward the navigation of the future.

And it is precisely these values, the boating, the seafaring culture, environmental sustainability, and team spirit, the cornerstones around which the Navy Pink Ribbon Tour 2023 is conceived, a prestigious event with many regattas and a new “vision” for our country that finally puts the sea at the center. This grand tour of the Belpaese, which bears the name of the Navy and which the Armed Force actively supports in the implementation stages, is organized by Difesa Servizi S.p.A. in cooperation with Sailing Series International and with the support of Enit – National Tourism Agency, as well as the Italian Sailing Federation. The official presentation of the circuit took place last May 23 in Rome at the headquarters of the Navy Officers’ Circle “Caio Duilio.” But now with the Genoa Opening aboard the Vespucci, the event finally kicks off.

Giro d’Italia sailing tour: the stages, boats and Villages open to all

The “highlight” event of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour is the Giro d’Italia a Vela (Tour of Italy by Sail ), which is staged July 2-30. It is a series of regattas that, from Genoa to Venice, in 8 stages, circumnavigates our entire Peninsula and engages the best crews in 3 different disciplines: Offshore, i.e., offshore racing, Inshore, i.e., trials between buoys under the coast, and Board, i.e., sailing boards. The sailing craft used are thus the synthesis of these 3 worlds: the very fast Figaro Class 3s equipped with foils, the Waszp acrobatic dinghies, and the WingFoiling class.

The stages of the Giro d’Italia 2023 sailing race are Genoa, La Maddalena, Naples, Vibo Valentia, Taranto, Vieste, San Benedetto del Tronto and Porto Rose. And a grand awards ceremony is planned to be held in Venice on July 29. Sailing Villages will be set up at all the stops located in the most beautiful coastal locations where the public can watch challenges on the water and get closer to the world of sailing through initiatives and experiences open to all.
