The 27th Ariane’s Cup, the international sailing event that will take place in Formia (Latina) between 29 September and 2 October, was launched at a press conference held today in Rome.
The competition for representatives of Europe’s space agencies and companies is being held in Italy for the first time in its history thanks to the Telespazio team’s victory in the 2005 regatta in Martinique. |
Around 700 sailing enthusiasts from all parts of Europe will compete for the Cup, which will include three days of competitions and events. The 81 vessels entered, varying in length from 34 feet to 46 feet, will compete in the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea over a course embracing the port of Formia, the Circeo Promontory and the northern coast of Campania.
The town of Formia will stage the awards ceremony and numerous events planned for the days of the competition in a village set up especially for the event within its port area.
