RS700 Europeans, Riva del Garda - Entries Open
Lots of details and entry form on Championship site - http://www.rs700.org/champs/index.asp?eid=381
Fraglia vela Riva is situated in beautiful and historic Riva Del Garda, in the North West corner of Lake Garda in Northern Italy. Wonderful sailing, sunshine, pasta and friends! The town of Riva is particularly attractive and has a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants. For non-sailing friends, or those extending their trip, there’s lots to do including mountain biking, windsurfing, hill climbing, canyoning, beach activities, canoeing etc.
Garda is well known for being a sailing and windsurfing mecca, largely due to the thermally generated ‘Ora’ wind that kicks in from the south usually around 1200hrs, and builds regularly up to a F4+. The racing will run from Monday to Friday, both weeks. The RS100, 700 and 800 Europeans will be from 16 – 20 July, and the RS200 and 400 Eurocup and RS500 Worlds from 23 - 27 July.
The social side of Garda is part of the charm of the regatta – with the Ora turning up at lunchtime, there’s no need to get to the dinghy park until 10:30, so this helps to encourage later nights. Evening entertainment usually consists of finding a lovely restaurant, then decamping to a bar to discuss the days racing. If you’re on holiday with your partner there are some lovely romantic venues.
