The Yacht Club Italiano 2027 Sports Calendar was presented today during the Genoa International Boat Show, outlining a season that will run from January to October with fifteen events and ten months of activity on the water.

The event is organised by Circolo Vela Gargnano under the authority of the Italian Sailing Federation, with the support of Regione Lombardia and with Alpe Adria del Garda as event partner.

Well, that was quite a summer! Rooster have spent the last few months doing what we love most, getting out and about, meeting sailors, supporting events and generally spending far too much time talking about sailing.

The team in red spent four years learning how to win together. On Saturday in Newport, YoungBlood sealed it with a title.

From the Gulf of Trieste to the Grado Lagoon and the Lago dei Tre Comuni, Barcolana58 presented by Generali is now in full swing, bringing water sports across Friuli Venezia Giulia today.

Recently while clearing out my loft I came across a Yachts & Yachting test and review of the boat from back in February 2002. So I thought it would be timely to reflect on it and what they thought of it.
