On 23 July the TAG Heuer VELA Cup circuit stops off in splendid Venice for the Round The Lido Race. An unmissable sailing party between nature and beauty, relaxation and fun. And the Elan Cup is also on the agenda.
TAG Heuer SAIL Cup Venezia / Round The Lido Race: unmissable!
There is a place in the world that allows those who go by boat to experience all the beauty of the sea and at the same time immerse themselves in the art, history, elegance of an entire city that has floated on water for centuries. Let’s talk about Venice of course and its lagoon. A wonder of nature where the force of the wind beats against streets and canals, where the tide stops the time of the inhabitants and where the water literally flows under the beds of the houses. A unique, magical and fragile balance, which experienced under sail is even more evocative and can only leave you entranced.
