Ora, Pelèr, Balinot, Ponalot, Vinessa: on Garda Trentino the wind is always in your favor! The waters of Lake Garda are the most popular with water sports and sailing enthusiasts. Constant and intense winds make Riva del Garda a wonderful and fun destination for sailors and enthusiasts.
After the World Youth Sailing Championship 2024, Garda Trentino will host the European 29er Sailing Championship 2025 this year. The races will be held at the Riva del Garda Sailing Center(Fraglia Vela Riva) from July 1 to 8, 2025.
But what is the 29er class?
The 29er is a fun, fast and dynamic sailing boat that delivers exciting and fun sailing in all waters of the world. Exciting double, unique in spectacularity and training aspects.
The 29er is a one-design, double dynamic, single trapeze skiff with a self-turning jib and asymmetric spinnaker that add up to one of the most exhilarating sailing experiences.
The 29er sailing class is preparatory to the transition to any area of “adult” sailing. Athletes competing in major competitions cannot be under 12 years old. The best youth sailing in the world!
The 29er sailing community boasts rapid growth and now has 38 member countries from all continents. The 2025 European 29er Championship will bring more than 250 crews from over twenty nations to Garda Trentino, a testament to the widespread popularity of this skiff.
In the European 29er 2025 Championship, athletes will compete on three race courses at the same time, which is necessary to ensure the smooth running of the qualifying trials and, following that, those reserved for the Gold, Silver and Bronze fleets. Fraglia Vela Riva’s experience in organizing major international regattas is well established: at the Garda Optimist Meeting two courses are run simultaneously, while three different courses are needed for international and European events.
In Riva del Garda, July 1-8, 2025, the European 29er 2025 Championship will be a spectacular, high-performance youth sailing regatta sporting event.
As always happens at World and European Sailing Championships, Riva del Garda is ready to welcome the cheerful and colorful invasion of young international sailors.
