Pink Ribbon is the Giro dell’Italia a vela organized by Marina Militare in collaboration with Marina Militare Sportswear. A series of highly innovative regattas, consisting of 10 stages in the most beautiful Italian coastal locations (one will be in Albania). Among these, for the IV edition, there is also Catanzaro, Blue Flag city in 2023 and 2024!
The city’s waters will be colored with a breathtaking competitive show through dozens of boats that will compete in three different categories: Offshore, a type of boat characterized by great speed; Inshore, small boats; Boards. Each regatta category will have its own separate ranking and its 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 for raising awareness of institutional, environmental and sporting values.
From 2nd to 4th July the sea train service from the port to the centre of the seaside district from 5pm to 9pm
