The 37th edition of the Millevele IREN, held on Saturday, September 20, and followed by the award ceremony at the 65th Genoa International Boat Show, once again confirmed the extraordinary significance of this event: a grand celebration of sailing that saw 214 boats on the water and strong participation from the Members of the Yacht Club Italiano.
