BRINDISI – The Vela Cup, the sailing festival for all boats, organized by the Giornale della Vela in collaboration with the Brindisi Marina, returns to Brindisi for the third consecutive year. The initiative will be held next weekend, Friday 31 May and Saturday 1 June, and will feature numerous boats of different types which will be guests of the Marina, the same location which will welcome the crews for the awards ceremony on Saturday evening, and which will sail at off the Brindisi coast.
This year too it will be possible to follow the boats, which will attempt the classic route, from the beaches of Punta Penne and Torre Testa. Boats from 4 meters in length in the “Cruise” and “Regatta” categories can participate. The overall winner on corrected time, among all the participants, will win the Sailing Cup Trophy. For Classic Boats, those at least 25 years old, there is a special classification.
For boats coming from outside, the Marina di Brindisi will offer free moorings. The Sailing Cup is an initiative for everyone, in fact you don’t need to be an expert sailor to participate, which is why it is considered a party as well as a real competition. Athletes will compete in the Sport Boat category, families and groups of friends in the Cruising Boat category.
Everyone will meet together on the evening of Saturday 1 June, for an alternative Republic Day, in the amphitheater of Marina di Brindisi for the announcement of the winners and the delivery of trophies and prizes. With the confirmation of the Brindisi stage, which follows the inaugural one in Marina di Cala Dè Medici and precedes the July one in La Maddalena, Brindisi is increasingly establishing itself as a city of sea sports and sailing in particular.
