Why Lake Garda and Campione Univela

Lake Garda has for years been one of Europe’s most dynamic centers for foiling and youth sailing development, thanks to stable winds and regular variations that allow training in different conditions and support rapid technical growth.
Univela offers:
• an organized base and support boat service,
• changing rooms and a technical area dedicated to boats participating in the federal 420 class training program.

Target Group and Athlete Selection

The training is aimed at young sailors who are part of the federal 420 class pathway, particularly athletes included in the Italian youth selection programs.
The group of 7 boats is designed to ensure a high number of on-water hours for each athlete, optimizing training time on the water with a limited number of participants in order to maximize quality and technical attention.
