A cross-border regatta will bring
Slovenian sailors to Barcolana: For the ninth consecutive year,
the "Go to Barcolana from Slovenia—I Feel Slovenia" event will
take place on October 12, the day before the Autumn Cup. The
occasion to present the initiative and, more generally, the 56th
edition of the "Barcolana presented by Generali" was a meeting
held today in Koper (Slovenia).
The Sailing Society of Barcola and Grignano organizes the
cross-border regatta in collaboration with the Slovenian Sailing
Federation, the Confederation of Slovenian Sports Clubs in
Italy, and the Pirat Portorož Sailing Club.
The Go to Barcolana from Slovenia will start on October 12 at
10 AM from Portorož. The finish will occur in the afternoon
before Piazza Unità d'Italia, followed by a crew reception and
an award ceremony. Registration is open on the official event
website. "Competitiveness, enthusiasm, passion, and fun,"
said Mitja Gialuz, president of the SVBG, "are the key
ingredients of the Go to Barcolana from Slovenia. Slovenia and
its sailors have always played a central role in the Barcolana,
and it's a joy to see how this regatta continues to grow and
engage more and more enthusiasts."
According to TPK Sirena President Igor Filipčič, "the Go to
Barcolana from Slovenia is much more than just a regatta: it's a
symbol of cooperation and a shared passion for sailing." "This
year as well," said Mitja Margon, president of the Pirat
Portorož Sailing Club, "we are happy to support the initiative
to strengthen ties among Italian, Slovenian, and Croatian
sailors. We hope that even more crews will participate in this
year's race."
