A must-attend event is back, a must for every sailing enthusiast. From this morning (06-09) until Sept. 10, Liguria in fact becomes the host of the annual
International Sailing Week in Imperia
, a five-day event and regatta dedicated to the great sailing classics. In short, the
Vele d’Epoca
in Imperia, the traditional event dedicated to classic boats that has attracted and fascinated entire legions of enthusiasts since 1986.
Imperia International Sailing Week 2023
Protagonists of the event, from the September 6 to 10 in Imperia, will be the two major regattas of international significance: on the one hand, the
Vintage Sails 2023
– reserved for vintage and classic boats, replicas, the Tall-Ship, to the Spirit of Tradition and Classic IORs; on the other hand, the
Imperia Cup 2023
, which will see the iconic Eight-Meter Tonnage International (8M-SI), an Olympic class from 1908 to 1936, compete.
Vintage Sails 2023 | The Participants
Populating this 2023 edition of the Vele d’Epoca-with the first race at 11 a.m. on Sept. 7-are many participating boats, including big names a little bit in every category, such as undoubtedly French Kiss, Serenade, Corinthian and Tuiga, to name a few. There is also no shortage of some classic boats known to us, such as
Crivizza
e
Pilgrim
.
Also not to be missed, strong on its 100th birthday, will be Barbara, an elegant 18-meter yawl designed by Charles E. Nicholson in 1923, then revolutionary with its Bermudian yawl rig.

Participants will also include Vision KC-3-strong holder of seven world titles and standard-bearer of the Imperia Yacht Club-and Anne Sophie, an 8M-SI designed for the never-competed 1940 Tokyo Olympics.
