RoundItaly Genova-Trieste is born: departure from the Salone Nautico on September 16th, arrival in front of Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia during the days of the Barcolana.
It will be the longest non-stop offshore race of the Mediterranean: 1,130 miles long, which will also define the course record Genova-Trieste.
A simple formula but gripping and competitive. Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano and Yacht Club Italiano, with the support of Fincantieri, present the first edition of “RoundItaly Genova-Trieste”. The year 2021 sees the inauguration of the longest non-stop regatta of the Mediterranean: 1,130 miles of sailing along the Italian coasts, with a single and spectacular obligatory passage in the strait of Messina.
The event, organized by the two yacht clubs and in partnership with Confindustria Nautica in its capacity as organizer of the 61st Salone Nautico di Genova, will unite, with a spectacular regatta, the two capitals of Italian sailing, national harbours, in their love for the sea at a moment of maximum visibility: RoundItaly Genova-Trieste will, in fact, start on September 16th 2021 – the day of the inauguration of the Salone Nautico – from Genova and will arrive in Trieste during the days of the Barcolana, along the same finishing line of the largest sailing race in the world, in front of Piazza dell’Unità d’Italia. The timing of the first to arrive will be considered the new sailing record of the Genova-Trieste route, which ideally will also unite the shipyards of the navalmeccanico Group of the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic shores.
