Barcolana56 Presented by Generali: Over 1,000 Participants Already Registered
The 56th edition of the Barcolana, presented by Generali, is set to kick off on 4-13 October 2024 with a theme of “Positive Energies.” The event, organized by Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano (SVBG) and Generali, will feature over 300 events both on land and at sea, culminating in the world’s largest regatta.
One of the highlights of this edition is the focus on promoting inclusion in sailing through the project ‘Women in sailing by Generali’. The aim is to increase the number of women in decision-making roles in sailing competitions.
The Barcolana will feature a variety of events, including the Barcolana Grado SUP Experience, Barcolana Beach Sprint, Barcolana Fun, Barcolana Young, and Barcolana Nuota. On the sea, there will be regattas, including Parasailing, Barcolana Maxi – Trofeo Portopiccolo, and Barcolana Solaris Adriatic Cup.
The ‘Women in sailing‘ regatta will take place on 11 October, with the ‘Generali Women in sailing Trophy’ being awarded to the first mixed team with a woman skipper to cross the finish line.
On land, the Barcolana Village will host exhibitors, sponsors, and partners, offering workshops, exhibitions, and events that promote sustainability and inclusion. Various big events, such as the Barcolana Sea Summit and literary festival, will also take place.
With over 1,000 participants already registered, the Barcolana promises to be a vibrant celebration of sailing, showcasing the beauty of Trieste and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. For more information, visit www.barcolana.it.
