Regattas
The Spring Cup, the traditional Italian competition dedicated to the Optimist class, has reached its 40th edition. As one of the most attended regattas, it is organized as always by the Circolo Nautico Cervia.
In collaboration with AICO, the Circolo Nautico Cervia will combine the 40th Spring Cup with the 2nd National Stage of the 2026 Kinder Trophy, scheduled from May 31st to June 2nd.
This initiative aims to create an event of great prestige and national promotion, with an estimated participation of 350 to 450 athletes from about 60 sailing clubs across Italy. Given the importance and scale of the event, the organization will utilize larger spaces and facilities beyond the usual areas of the Circolo Nautico to ensure optimal management.
