Maxi boat regatta was presented last night in the beautiful yacht club in Portopiccolo, a pre-Barcolana warm up which will see many grand front runner boats compete all while having fun, of course.
This year’s edition the new regatta for Maxi boats will be in the spotlight as a new route: Barcolana Maxi Trofeo Portopiccolo (Barcolana Maxi Portopiccolo Cup) will take place between 4 and 6 October.
“Big” boats only will compete in various races along the coast as well as one following the Barcolana’s course on Thursday 6 October. Furthermore, an extraordinary program will take place on land in Portopiccolo.
“Attracting Maxi Yachts to the Northern Adriatic is crucial for the whole sailing sector, since they bring wealth to the area, especially if they stop for storage, and fit perfectly in the Barcolana’s “pop” atmosphere. Featuring both great champions and family crews has always been one of the Barcolana’s defining traits. We aim to enhance this tradition”, explained Gialuz, underscoring the renewed partnership with Portopiccolo: “Portopiccolo plays a key role in sailing hospitality in the Northern Adriatic: we will organise a series of events here, including Barcolana Sea Chef”.
