Regatta of the two gulfs - 51th edition

We look forward to welcoming you to the 51st edition of the historic sailing regatta “Due Golfi di Lignano – Memorial Burgato Trophy,” organized by the Yacht Club Lignano.

The regatta is open to sailing yachts competing in the selection for the 2026 Offshore National Championships and is also a qualifying race for the Italian Absolute Championship FIV ORC–UVAI. In addition, it represents the first event of the 2026 ORC Zonal Circuit and the North Adriatic Racing Circuit.

Around 250 sailors will take part, competing in crews aboard approximately 30 ORC International class yachts, with athletes coming from across Italy and abroad.

The Due Golfi has become a historic sailing event in the Upper Adriatic, offering every year the impressive sight of a large fleet sailing between the scenic backdrop of often still snow-covered mountains, the lagoon, and the waters off the coast of Lignano.

Among the participants are representatives of numerous sailing clubs from the Upper Adriatic, along with sailors arriving from all over Italy and from several European countries — including Estonia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Austria — many of whom return every year. The prestigious Memorial Burgato Trophy will also be awarded during the event.

For all sailing lovers, you will be able to admire all the competing boats directly from the shoreline.

Programming:

• 24, 25, 26 April | Races on buoys in front of Lignano

Approximately 30 sailing boats from all over Italy and neighboring European nations are expected. We remind you that the trophy will be contested for 3 days in various regatta trials.
