The Autumn Championship (10th, 17th, 24th, 30th November) and the Ice Cup on December 1st close the competition sailing season in the sea of Lignano (Nothern Est Italy) with wonderful sunny days dedicated to sport... for all.. in events, in this case not specifically Paralympic, where it is still possible to compete and live sea, sun, wind, sailing, reunions all together thanks to the Sea4All activities of the local association Tiliaventum that, with its accessible boats, targeted methodologies, trained staff, gives the possibility to everyone to be an active protagonist in the world of sea sports.
Càpita is the name of the one of the sailboats, a so-called daysailer 9.50 long, on board which anyone, using manual or electric wheelchair, or those with different kind of needs, can board and steer, maneuver, adjust sails, racing against the best crews from all over the region.
The sporting results are more than encouraging, and it is not the first time: Càpita reaches 2nd position in class while Aylin, with inclusive teams as well, reaches the 3rd at the Championship that had the usual friendly moments and awards on land, in the presence of local authorities in D-Marin Punta Faro Resort.
Sunday, December 1st another adrenaline-fill day, windy and sunny in racing the Ice Cup that has engaged the teams. Route 20 Miles Lignano-Grado-Lignano and then on land in Aprilia with the usual celebrations. The event - organized for 43 years by the local Aprilia Marittima Sailing Club - collects and donates funds to benefit Telethon in supporting rare diseases research. Ayling - Elan333, took part also to this race, it is always present in local racing fields and constantly active for the initiatives of sea for all that are carried out throughout the whole year.
Sea4All do not stop: the sea which belongs to all and is for all, will welcome other sporting and experiential opportunities until the end of the year then immediately resume with the new 2025.
