The «Barcolan regatta» celebrated its 50th anniversary. Fifty years ago, 51 boats participated in «Barcolana». Since then, the number of boats on the start line has grown exponentially. In 2018, the regatta once again confirmed its status as the largest regatta in the world, attracting 2,696 participants. Thousands of boats in the Gulf of Trieste is a spectacle in itself, but this year to celebrate the anniversary, the start of the regatta was graced by a performance by the Italian Air Force Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team. The winner of «Barcolana» for the second consecutive time was Spirit of Portopiccolo. The boat covered the 15-mile route in 57.04 minutes.
