A wonderful weekend that of December 2 and 3 which was dedicated to the sea sports for all in Lignano Sabbiadoro (Italy-Northern Adriatic Sea): the finals of the Autumn Sailing Championship took place with the inclusive teams aboard Càpita and Aylin and the participation to the windy and amazing ICE Cup on Sunday.

After four weekends of sailing, on Saturday 2nd December the last race of the Autumn Championship was held with a triumph for the inclusive teams Sea4All by Tiliaventum - in this event not specifically Paralympic.

Càpita is a wonderful accessible daysailer (a sailing boat) on board of which everyone participates as active protagonist, regardless of the use of manual wheelchair, electric one or other special needs, and it affirms itself by winning the Class D. The podium is completed with Aylin placed third with a crew at the first racing experience.

These last four weekends of November and December complete the 2023 Sea4All programme rich in inclusive activities: sailing days, courses, racing teams, information-training initiatives, trips and transfers, the famous regatta Barcolana for all, lagoon excursions and much more... all of this is always enriched by the inevitable aggregated moments on land with tastings of selected food and wine delicacies of the Friuli-region area.

On Sunday, December 3rd was held the 2023 ICE Cup - sunny and windy, decidedly fresh which did not discourage the athletes on board Aylin with Christmas crew that won the 3rd place in Class D.

Lignano - Grado - Lignano (about 20 miles) with a strong bora wind during the first side and a return with fantastic surfing on the waves.

ICE Cup is the closing regatta of the competitive season, while the inclusive sea sport activities of Tiliaventum do not stop. They are carried out during the whole year and for everyone: kitesurf, windsurf, sailing, sup, fishing...and much more. All these activities are practiced taking advantage of the beautiful and clear winter days but also of those windy and icy, having a beautiful sea easily accessible especially outside the summer bathing season.

The Sea4All initiatives enjoy the patronage of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region Io Sono FVG-Regional Tourism Association City of Lignano Sabbiadoro
