 1st – 5th July 2025 | Fraglia Vela Riva – Lake Garda

Fraglia Vela Riva is a name that needs no introduction. Perched on the northern edge of Lake Garda, it’s renowned for hosting world-class regattas, delivering flawless logistics, and offering sailors an unbeatable blend of nature, sport, and Italian charm. Shore-side, you'll find clean facilities, efficient launching, and an energizing atmosphere that turns every regatta into a full experience.

A Championship-Worthy Venue
Fraglia Vela Riva is no stranger to elite competition. With decades of experience hosting top-level international regattas, this club is known for its flawless organization, efficient race management, and sailor-first facilities. Nestled at the northern tip of Lake Garda, the venue offers easy launching, large rigging areas, and direct access to one of the most reliable and exciting racecourses in the world.

Unique Sailing Conditions
Lake Garda is famous for its thermal winds — especially the afternoon Ora, a consistent breeze that funnels down the lake between dramatic cliffs. These conditions create fast, tactical, high-performance racing that rewards precision, planning, and guts. Whether you’re chasing a shift along the cliffs or managing a full-send downwind, every race on Garda is unforgettable.

Surrounded by Natural Beauty and Italian Culture
The town of Riva del Garda delivers more than just a regatta. Think cobblestone streets, alpine views, lakeside cafés, and Italian gelato between races. This is a venue where world-class sailing meets rich local charm. After racing, teams can unwind with legendary sunsets, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy the energy of a vibrant sailing community.

The Perfect Stage for European Glory
From its elite infrastructure and consistent wind to its breathtaking landscape and atmosphere, Fraglia Vela Riva is more than just a regatta venue — it’s a destination. For those aiming to write their names into 29er history, this is where the European title will be decided.
