The Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour arrived in Vieste, Puglia, for its second stage, covering 260 miles. It is the longest leg of this year's race around the Italian peninsula.
At Vieste's Race Village, sailing enthusiasts and guests eagerly awaited the offshore fleet of Beneteau Figaro 3. Excitement builds for inshore races for the WASZP and Wingfoil classes, that offer a thrilling display of athleticism over the beautiful Italian waters.
During the Taranto-Vieste leg, Acone Associati and Guardia di Finanza engaged in an intense battle for the red jersey. As night fell, the lead shifted with Deas Sanfer taking the first position, followed closely by Marina Militare. Unfortunately, DR Automobiles had to retire due to running aground but is expected to rejoin in the next leg, Vieste-San Benedetto.
In the Vibo Valentia-Taranto leg, the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour 2023 also promoted the "Discover Where You Port" project by ENIT, offering seventeen inspiring itineraries based on historical routes.
Organized by Difesa Servizi S.p.A. and SSI Events, with support from the Marina Militare, the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour 2023 continues its exciting journey around Italy.
