At Barcolana 2024 you can register even without a crew!

BarcolanafleetWhen you write Barcolana, you read “the world’s largest regatta,” as attested by the Guinness World Record in 2018, when on the occasion of the event’s 50th anniversary, 2,869 boats lined the starting line.
A line 2 1/2 nautical miles long, where world-class helmsmen, passionate racers and cruisers compete side by side – or rather, fender to fender – driven by a common love of the sea and the pleasure of experiencing an event marked by fun and sharing.
This is the spirit that, 56 years ago, led a group of friends from the marina in Barcola to ask the authorities for permission to organize a regatta.
They were granted a date at the end of the season, the second Sunday in October.
Those friends began to go around the sailing clubs, spreading invitations and promising curious prizes, such as bottles of wine.
Eventually fifty-one responded, and on a sunny Sunday with a light southwesterly wind-the “garbin,” as the fishermen of these areas call it-the first Barcolana took off.
That spirit of sharing and passion has remained unchanged since that day in 1969.
Every year, on the second Sunday in October, Trieste and its gulf are transformed into Europe’s sailing capital.
Hundreds of thousands of people arrive from every corner of Italy and the world to witness a unique spectacle, breathing in the passion for the sea just by walking along the quays.

Barcolana 2024 – You can even register yourself!

This year, on October 13, the Barcolana awaits you to once again experience the magic of this celebration of the sea, preceded by ten days of events both on land and at sea.
It is a special occasion, a moment not to be missed for those who love the sea.
And for those who have always dreamed of participating but don’t have a crew, there is a great news: the“Ticket To Race” project. By registering as an“individual sailor” on the barcolana.it website, it will be possible to be included in a crew composed of other enthusiasts who do not know each other, but who share the same desire to race.
Aunique opportunity to be part of this incredible experience of sea and sailing.
