Changing the logistics, but not the spirit, or role of the event, and increasing the benefits. Everything is ready in Trieste for the Barcolana Classic By SIAD, the regatta that takes place every year on the eve of the Barcolana (this year on October 10) and that makes the vintage boats, classics and the "Spirit of Tradition" the protagonists. The next edition will see the operational collaboration of the Yacht Club Hannibal which, together with the Società Velica of Barcola and Grignano, will provide moorings and logistical support. "We thank” - said SVBG President Mitja Gialuz – “the Adriaco Yacht Club that for many years has supported us in organizing the event. We now consider the Barcolana Classic by SIAD a historic regatta, which was not stopped by Covid. The boats this year will be housed in the moorings available to the Svbg along the banks of Trieste and at the Yacht club Hannibal, protecting and highlighting these beautiful boats that deserve to be a central part of the party".
Organized by the Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano, the event is scheduled at sea as always, with years of tradition and maritime passion coming together to celebrate the classic hulls: On Saturday, October 10, at 10:30, the boats registered in the regatta will parade through the San Giusto basin to be admired, then will take part in the regatta, in a straightaway or triangle - depending on the weather - in the Gulf of Trieste.
