The Barcolana – Trofeo Maxi Tivoli Portopiccolo formally kicked off Monday afternoon in Portopiccolo with the skippers meeting and the opening ceremony.
It will be held as a prelude to the Barcolana, involving about fifteen boats that will battle it out in the Gulf and will have their operational base in Portopiccolo until Wednesday.
They will be competing in four races, two each day, over a windward-leeward course or over a triangle course; on Thursday they will race along the Rive, over the same course and length as the Barcolana 55 presented by Generali. The event is co-organised by Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano (Sailing Club of Barcola and Grignano) and Yacht Club Portopiccolo and is in its second edition.
Today, Tuesday 3 October, Portopiccolo will host the skippers briefing at 11:00 a.m. and the starting signal at 1:00 p.m.
