Piada Trophy, Latest News

By Alberto Perdisa

Portoverde di Misano Adriatico, June 27-29, 2014

Preparations are underway for the Piada Trophy that wants to be reconfirmed as one of the most fun regattas of the Snipe Class.

The Piada is always the Piada, but this year it is also a National regatta, an International regatta, and it awards two trophies: the now-classic Manlio Mignani and the prestigious Summer Circuit in conjunction with the German Open, which has just taken place in Caldonazzo.

The Club Nautico Riccione and the Royal Yacht Club Portoverde are working hard to make the three days on the waters of the Adriatic unforgettable.

…

Teams from US include Jensen McTighe, Steve Lang, Greg Saldana and Kathleen Tocke. Manu Hens from Belgium and other European teams are also expected.

All the best Italian Snipe Sailors will be at the starting line, since this is one of the best sailing areas of the Adriatic.

About the social events, all are confirmed. The “Piada Grand Prix” will take place in the tortuous and difficult kart race track, a few steps from the Marina where we will be with our Snipes: after sailing, take off the wetsuit and walk to the race track!

The kart race will be even more crazy than in the past years, with karts with double the power of those used in Cervia.

Please enter as soon as possible to allow the organizers to better manage the event.
