Regata della Gallinara 2026

16 – 17 May 2026

The regatta along the Genoa – Alassio – Genoa course is a particularly meaningful event for the Yacht Club Italiano, now in its fourth edition. The event renews the historic sporting partnership with the Circolo Nautico “Al Mare” di Alassio, strengthening a tradition that celebrates the spirit of collaboration between the two Clubs. The competition unfolds over two days: the first dedicated to the leg from Genoa to Alassio, and the second to the return toward the Ligurian capital. The course runs along the enchanting waters of the western Ligurian coast, featuring the evocative passage off Bergeggi, offering participants not only a sporting challenge but also an occasion for camaraderie and conviviality.
