After Genoa, Sanremo, La Maddalena, the sailing boats will arrive in the regional capital, Blue Flag in 2023 and 2024, which will be the Italian capital of the sea for four days.
The waters of the city will be colored with a breathtaking competitive show through dozens of boats that will compete in the three different categories: Offshore, a type of boat characterized by high speeds; Inshore, small boats; Boards. Each regatta category will have its own separate ranking and its own winners.
The winning team will be the one with the best combined result of the three disciplines and will be the Champion Team of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour.
The Catanzaro Village will be set up in the Port area, a space animated by debates and contributions to raise awareness of institutional, environmental and sporting values.
