The Nastro Rosa Double Handed European Championship is one of the continent’s premier offshore sailing competitions, combining technical challenge, tactical racing, and coastal navigation — all sailed double-handed aboard the cutting-edge Beneteau Figaro 3, the world’s first production foiling one-design monohull.

The 2025 edition continues the tradition of showcasing elite offshore talent across a multi-leg course, stopping in iconic Italian cities along the Mediterranean. With only two crew per boat, the race tests not just speed and seamanship, but endurance, trust, and strategy under pressure.

• 🚩 High-level offshore competition sanctioned by EUROSAF

• 🧭 Real-time tracking and media coverage across Europe

• 👫 Double-handed format with no shore support during legs
