the world championship in Isola. "Slovenia has always played a
central role in Barcolana," said SVBG President Mitja Gialuz,
"not only because of the sporting feats of the many helmsmen and
skippers, but above all because of the passionate participation
of the many sailors and amateurs who come to Trieste every year
to become part of the 'one big crew that is Barcolana, united by
the love for our sport and the desire to share it. The Go To
Barcolana from Slovenia inspired a second approach regatta from
Ravenna to Trieste and strengthened the friendship with the
Slovenian nautical world. "The Go to Barcolana From Slovenia is
a cross-border sailing event that unites two countries in one
Gulf," comments TPK Sirena President Igor Filipčič, "It is a
regatta open to all, which we are proud to repeat. Registration
