Barcolana per il sociale (Barcolana for the community)
As per tradition, Barcolana Tuesday was dedicated to sailing for solidarity and social initiatives, featuring the regattas of Barcolana per il Sociale, the historic event organised by Triestina della Vela and the Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano.
The day was devoted to volunteer organisations and associations engaged in promoting the social inclusion of people with disabilities, who shared a maritime experience of sport and friendship inspired by the values of participation and inclusion.
The day opened with the 22nd Fuorivento Trophy, organised by the amateur sports association Overwind Sailing Team with the support of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, followed by the regatta Le Vele di Calicanto.
A total of 90 participants representing various associations from across the Triveneto region took part, including Coop Casasole and Auser Insieme Per Crescere of Treviso, Coop Acli of Pordenone, Coop Itaca of San Daniele and Udine, Centro Lybra Campanelle, Lybra La Bora and Coop Lybra, and I Girasoli of Trieste.
In the Fuorivento Trophy, the Corsari team from Treviso claimed first place, followed by Casamatti (Treviso) and Falegnami (Pordenone). In Le Vele di Calicanto, Novella took the victory ahead of Serbidiola and White Flint.
The afternoon concluded onshore with the eagerly awaited concert by the Calicanto Band and the awards ceremony – a festive gathering open to all, celebrating the values of solidarity, inclusion, and sport for everyone.
