The sports season of the Circolo Vela Torbole started last March with the Garda Trentino Finn Cup and it continues now with so many activities.

This year the Circolo Vela offers more and more services aimed at excellence thanks to the new structure, that provides professionalism with the club members and in the organization of regattas in order to encourage sailors to come to this beautiful north Lake Garda's spot.

Modern sailing, classic sailing, sailing for very young and for mature sailors and champions: this is the mix of events that make the Circolo Vela Torbole, a club always open to new challenges, but always ready to respect tradition, one of the Circolo's strengths.

From Saturday 13 to Monday 15 April the former singlehanded Olympic female Europe (Olympic status from Barcelona 1992 to Athens 2004) will return, giving life for the twenty-second year to the "Europa Class Meeting", historic appointment of the Circolo Vela Torbole, scheduled every year on the weekend preceding Easter.

About 135 sailors from 11 nations, confirm that this event is still much loved by northern European sailors. In the three days organized by the Circolo Vela Torbole, the sailors will find a perfect balanced time of competition and fun.
