They must be fast and agile. They are the acrobats in the team. They run the wettest, coldest and most exposed end of the boat. The bow is a solitary field meant for the bravest onboard, the bowman.

@sailinglignano Not at all - there definitely wasn't that much wind! It was the day before.

The 51th Barcolana edition - won by Way of Life of the Slovenian Vinčec Gašper - has been challenging for many. Golfo di Trieste ended 8th. Surely a good result for the debut of a new team on a new boat. The best is yet to come! Go girls! 💪

“The Barcolana is such an intense race, very different from sailing offshore. It’s short, there’s a lot of boats at the start line and in the fleet. It’s a real challenge to get around, not to bump into any boats and to play with the shifts of the wind.” - Abby Ehler

#Barcolana51: conditions at the start line.
An overall of 2,015 boats and +15,000 sailors took to the sea off the coast of Trieste. The race was characterised by no wind, at its peak only 3 knots. Due to the harsh conditions, the regatta was cut short to end at the second buoy.

An amazing female crew, a super fast sailing boat and a blue blue sky. What else? ☀

'The trimmer is in charge of choosing and trimming the sails to optimize their performance. Golfo di Trieste (90ft) needs 3 trimmers. We will share the tasks of making sure the sail is trimmed to its best and at the same time we'll prepare the next manoeuver.' - Annie Lush
