We are thrilled to announce that the 2024 EUROSAF Inclusive European Championship will be held at Univela Sailing in Campione del Garda from October 7 to 13, 2024.

At Univela Sailing, we pride ourselves on promoting inclusivity in the sport of sailing. This championship epitomizes our values, as it brings together para sailors and non-para sailors to compete on equal terms without handicap or compensation. This year, in collaboration with the Hansa 303 class, we have decided to feature only the Hansa 303 single and double-person events. A limited number of boats will be available for charter to ensure broad participation.

The event will commence with two days dedicated to measurement, registration, and practice, starting on October 7. The first official race is scheduled for October 9. Our location, Campione del Garda, on the north-western shore of Lake Garda, is renowned for its unique wind conditions that cater to both seasoned sailors and novices alike.

Univela Sailing is more than just a regatta venue; our sport centre provides comprehensive facilities, including accommodation options ranging from rooms to apartments, as well as an on-site restaurant. We strive to offer everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, ensuring participants can focus entirely on the competition.
