Sails, Flags & DJs

Race in the Barcolana — the world's largest sailing regatta, held every October in the Gulf of Trieste, where thousands of boats and tens of thousands of sailors line up on a single start line alongside Olympic medallists and first-timers alike. We put you on a crew, cover the basics you need on the water, and get you into the week of racing, music, and waterfront celebration that turns Trieste into the sailing capital of Europe.

On this trip

• Crew placement on the start line of the world's largest regatta
• On-the-water basics covered before race day, no experience required
• Barcolana week: live music and events along the Trieste waterfront
• Held annually, second Sunday of October

Barcolana is an independently organized public regatta, open to registered boats and crews. We arrange your crew placement and cover what you need to know on the water — registration and race rules follow the event organizer's terms.
