It is not just about who will be the winner, but a lot more. A beautiful frame, starting from Miramare castle and finishing in front of Piazza Unita d´Italia, Trieste offers a natural sailing stadium, due to the conformation of the Gulf of Trieste, where more than 200.000 spectators can watch this wonderful and unique sailing event.
