Trieste - Barcolana event - foto Comune di Trieste Uff. ImmagineBarcolana
Every year, on the second Sunday of October, the city
hosts the Barcolana regatta, one of the major events in
Trieste. From huge sailing yachts to small boats, from
professional yachtsmen and women to the passionate amateur, the
regatta is a celebration of the sea and full of competitive spirit.
Some of those taking part in the race sail boats which boast the
latest marine technology, with ever-larger sails to overcome
Trieste's dead calm and canting keels to fight against the Bora,
Trieste's famous wind. Barcolana welcomes guests coming from all
over Europe and tourists during a sailing week dedicated to all -
kids and professionals, great champions and beginners (Source:
