About ChioggiaVela
Chioggia's Sailing Week
ChioggiaVela is the major sailing event in September in the waters of Chioggia, a lagoon city in the province of Venice. Organised by the Circolo Nautico Chioggia, it brings together a series of regattas in just a few days, involving both offshore and dinghy classes, with courses in the lagoon and in the open sea.
A Packed Schedule of Trophies
The event features multiple races: the Trofeo del Timoniere, the Bart's Bash — the simultaneous world regatta promoted internationally to support youth sailing — the Trofeo Boton, the Trofeo ChioggiaVela CNC, and ChioggiaVela Derive. The first Sunday of September is dedicated to the traditional Nastro Biancazzurro (Blue-White Ribbon), the club's social colours.
Chioggia: Capital of Adriatic Sailing
With its maritime tradition and numerous sailing clubs, Chioggia confirms itself as one of the most active hubs for sailing in the Upper Adriatic. ChioggiaVela represents the culmination of the city's sailing season, a calendar that from the beginning of February to November offers over forty events for all ages and classes, from Optimist dinghies to ORC offshore boats.
