The Veleziana returns on Sunday, October 20, for its 17th edition, organized by the Compagnia della Vela in collaboration with the Venice Boat Show. The much-anticipated event marks the end of the autumn sailing season and can thus welcome many boats that participated in the Barcolana the week before. The Veleziana is a regatta that requires particular tactics, characterized by unique environments and conditions, e.g. the transition from the sea to the lagoon, with its currents, narrow passages, and wind shifts. This edition is more structured than in the past and will feature an ultra-centenarian class, the Veleziana Dinghy, organized in collaboration with AVL and the Italian Dinghy 12′ Class Association. The top three finishers in real time from each class will be awarded. The overall winner will receive the Veleziana Trophy, while the Gabriele Pendini Trophy will be awarded to the best performer among the Compagnia della Vela boats.
