About Sailing Races Brenzone Nautical Club
Home sailing in Castelletto di Brenzone
On the upper Lake Garda, where the wind blows constantly between Monte Baldo and the Veronese shore, the Brenzone Nautical Club has been a benchmark for sailing for over half a century. Founded in 1965 and affiliated with the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV), the club is based in Castelletto di Brenzone, in the province of Verona, and organizes a season of races that runs from May to October each year.
A calendar for all enthusiasts
The program alternates zonal stages, international races, and promotional days. It ranges from the Luca Avesani Trophy and the Brenzone Micro Challenge at the start of the season, to the Paterazzo Trophy, the Nicolò Salvà Memorial, the Race of the Islands and Roses, up to the autumn international events such as the International Kielzugvogel Race and the International Star Race, with the class's Italian Cup.
Sailing and territory
The races of the Brenzone Nautical Club are not just about competition: they are also a way to experience the Veronese Garda in its most sporting and authentic dimension. The Vela Day (Sailing Day) opens its doors to those who want to try the thrill of sailing for the first time, on dinghies and keelboats, on the crystal-clear waters of the upper lake.
