2101 boats, 25 thousand sailors on the water and hundreds of thousands of spectators on land: these are the figures of the 49th Barcolana, a record number of participants. The winner of the most massive regatta was the Maxi 86 Spirit of Portopiccolo, which covered the distance in 1 hour 12 minutes and 17 seconds.

"Barcolana" is an annual regatta held in the Gulf of Trieste on the first Sunday of October. The course is about 15 miles long, the signs are fixed and form a quadrangle. The start line runs through Miramare Castle and the Barcola and Grignano Sailing Association building, while the finish line is in the sea opposite the Unification Square in Italy.
