World Championships for Offshore Sailing in Trieste this Week!

I don't know if you've heard the buzz, but ORC Worlds Trieste 2017 is taking place in Porto San Rocco all this week until July 8. There are 118 boats participating with crews from 19 countries. The Long regatta is underway now. It started yesterday at 2pm from Piazza Unità in Trieste, went towards Sistiana, then turned back around and down the coast of Istria. The biggest boats have a whopping 120 miles to complete. The first finishers should be coming back this afternoon, for the others it's going to be a long night...

The regattas continue until July 8 and  there is something special going on every day. Check out the website here.  You can also follow them on Facebook, sometimes there is livestreaming if you want to watch from afar!
