Alta Velocità Trophy — Agello Trophy

Autumn sailing on Lake Garda

On October 24th and 25th, 2026, Desenzano del Garda, in the province of Brescia, will host the 58th edition of the High Speed Trophy, combined with the 24th Agello Trophy. The regatta is organized by Fraglia Vela Desenzano, one of the most important sailing clubs on Lake Garda, and represents one of the most anticipated events in the Garda sailing calendar.

Racing classes

The High Speed Trophy is open to various boat categories: ORC, Monotypes, and Cruising. This variety makes the regatta a rich and well-attended event, capable of bringing together experienced crews and enthusiasts on different types of boats, in a challenge that highlights technique and the ability to harness the lake's winds.

A historic tradition

The event's name recalls a dual heritage: high speed on the lake and the figure of Francesco Agello, the speed record-holding aviator linked to Garda's history. The long series of editions — the 58th for the High Speed Trophy — testifies to the event's deep roots in the sporting culture of Desenzano del Garda and the entire southern lake area.

Closing the season

Held at the end of October, the regatta traditionally marks the conclusion of the competitive sailing season on Lake Garda. The two days also offer spectacle for the public on shore, who can follow the boats' starts and finishes from Desenzano's port and promenade, in a charming autumn setting.
