Why Lake Garda and Campione Univela

Lake Garda has been for years one of the most dynamic European centers for foiling and catamaran sailing, thanks to stable winds and regular variations that allow working in different conditions and fostering rapid technical growth.
Univela offers:
• organized base and support boat service,
• changing rooms and a technical area dedicated to boats participating in the federal Nacra 15 Class Training program.

Target Group and Athlete Selection

The training is aimed at young athletes who are part of the Nacra 15 Class federal program, particularly athletes included in Italian youth selection programs.
The group of 4 boats is designed to ensure a high number of boat hours for each athlete, optimizing on-water work time with a limited number of participants to maximize quality and technical attention.
