Barcolana

For all sea and sailing lovers and those who would never miss this one-of-a-kind show, the place is always the same every year: Trieste. Founded in 1969 thanks to the initiative of the yacht club Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano, the Barcolana competition has won its worldwide renown.
Barcolana, the international sailing regatta with the world’s highest number of participating sailboats, is now in its 51th edition, and continues to offer that unique combination of sailing competition and great entertainment. Over 2,000 boats line up at the start line, sailed by world-class helmsmen, racing enthusiasts and cruisers, all fascinated by an event which every sea dog should experience at least once in their life.
