    It is best known for the Barcolana regatta, a European sailing race that happens every year in October. The Barcolana was founded in 1969 thanks to the initiative of the yacht club Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano. It is one of the most crowded regattas in the world. The Barcolana became the Guinness World Record holder in February 2019 when it was named "the greatest sailing race" with its 2,689 boats and over 16,000 sailors on the starting line.

  2. What a nightmare. I guarantee there's some cussing & fighting & more than a few crashes.

  4. I really used to feel for the Officer of the Deck when we were passing through the Strait of Malacca at night as he would dash from bridge wing to bridge wing trying not to run over any fishing boats. Pretty hairy stuff for a junior officer.
