From May 1 to May 3, 2026, Campione Univela will host the National FINN Class Technical Training Camp, an event designed for sailors who want to train on Lake Garda in one of Europe’s most renowned venues for technical and competitive sailing preparation.

The choice of Campione sul Garda is based on the quality of its wind and weather conditions, which are ideal for FINN Class training, as well as on the presence of a complete venue such as Univela, a leading centre for sailing training camps, regattas and coaching activities. This training camp is intended as a valuable opportunity to prepare for the main events of the 2026 season in a high-level technical environment.

The growth of the Italian FINN Class, together with the increasingly strong participation in national, European and world events, makes this event especially meaningful. The results achieved by Italian sailors in international competitions confirm the strength of the class and the importance of shared training opportunities to improve starts, speed, manoeuvres, boat handling and race management.

Why choose Campione Univela

Campione Univela, in Tremosine sul Garda, offers ideal conditions for a sailing training camp dedicated to the FINN Class. The mid-upper Lake Garda area is well known for its reliable winds and for being a perfect training venue for single-handed dinghies and competitive sailing classes.

Univela provides facilities and services designed specifically for sailors: briefing and debriefing rooms, a gym, comfortable accommodation, an in-house restaurant and boat storage directly by the water. This makes it possible to combine technical, athletic and logistical work in one location, optimising both time and training quality.
