This is the most “democratic” event in world sailing: any boat equipped with a sail can compete. Barcolana number 56 is preparing to offer the busiest maritime festival in the world with more than 1,800 sailboats that will start together on a very long start line in the Gulf of Trieste: “It's true – says Mitja Gialuz , president of the Barcola and Grignano Club – because we can really say that “the party is here”. It will then be the wind combined with the sporting abilities of each crew which will make the difference. There are maxi and small hulls, all of them. together. After all, yes, it's good to win a regatta but it's just as good to take part in an event capable of traveling the length and breadth of the world.” Rai will broadcast it live on Sunday 13, rainews.it will broadcast it live and Rai Italia will take it across five continents.
