About Nastro Rosa Veloce
The longest regatta in the Mediterranean
The Nastro Rosa Veloce is the offshore race of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour, considered the longest offshore regatta in the Mediterranean. It is a challenging sailing competition that crosses the Italian seas, testing crews and boats in a long offshore navigation. From 2026, this major regatta will choose Trieste as its finish line, linking it to one of the most famous sailing events in the world.
Trieste and the Barcolana
The arrival of the Nastro Rosa Veloce in the Gulf of Trieste takes place concurrently with the Barcolana, the historic regatta that transforms the city into the world capital of sailing every October. The 58th edition of the Barcolana is scheduled from October 2nd to 11th, 2026, and the arrival of the offshore regatta enriches the great Trieste sailing gathering with a new, prestigious event.
An event of the Italian Navy
The regatta is organized by Difesa Servizi in collaboration with the Italian Navy and SSI Sport & Events. The Tour pits military crews, sailing clubs, sailing universities, and foreign representatives against each other, combining the sporting dimension with the institutional and educational one. The arrival in Trieste represents the conclusive and symbolic moment of this adventure at sea.
Sailing and the sea in the Julian Gulf
For sailing enthusiasts and the city, the arrival of the Nastro Rosa Veloce is an opportunity to experience the sea of Trieste in one of its most spectacular moments, when the gulf fills with sails in anticipation of the Barcolana.
