Italian sailing organizational and competitive developments

Overview

In early October 2026, Italian sailing organizations established a formal partnership and participated in various regional events.

The Federazione Italiana Vela (FIV) and the Lega Navale Italiana (LNI) signed a three-year memorandum of understanding at the Genoa Boat Show. This agreement focuses on increasing youth engagement, expanding Para Sailing projects for people with disabilities, and developing new training pathways. Under the protocol, the FIV will manage instructor certification and technical standards, while the LNI will provide access to its network of 250 sections and nautical bases.

Concurrently, several sailing competitions took place across Italy. In La Spezia, the sixth Vele d’Epoca event concluded with regattas for classic yachts and lateen sails. In Venice, the Veleziana Sailing Week commenced with the Veleziana Opti regatta near the Lido di Venice, featuring various lagoon events and regattas.
