Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. On the second Sunday of October, the Gulf of Trieste becomes a sea of sails. What began in 1969 as a modest autumn race involving just fifty-one boats grew into the Barcolana, an extraordinary gathering that has united family cruisers, amateur club sailors, experimental racing yachts and internationally celebrated professionals on the same starting line. Its record fleet of 2,689 boats transformed the waters before Trieste into one of sailing's most unforgettable spectacles. A Thousand Sails in Trieste tells the complete story of this remarkable regatta: the maritime culture that created it, the Bora and other winds that shape every edition, the rise of professional maxi-yacht campaigns, the knowledge of local champions and the immense organisational challenge of managing a fleet measured in thousands. It also explores what makes the Barcolana more than a yacht race. This is the story of a city transformed by the sea, an Adriatic borderland brought together through sport and an open competition in which ordinary sailors remain as important as the first boat across the finish. Rich in history, human experience and sailing tradition, this independent narrative reveals how one October regatta became an international celebration of participation, rivalry and life on the Gulf.
