AS Vaurien Italy has chosen Bracciano to host the Vaurien World Championship in 2025. The date will be July 12-19, 2025.
Bracciano lake is a nice tourist location some 20km north of Rome, selected as location for movie sets and VIP wedding events. It is a well known holiday location, and is perfect for the sailing sport practice due to its wind conditions. On this lake a Vaurien fleet has been constantly growing in the last years and is now one of the biggest in Italy.
Bracciano town as well as Lazio region administration will grant patronage, making the needed facilities available and will help with the sponsor roadshow.
Centro Vela Bracciano (CVB) is one of the main sailing clubs on the lake (map), with experience of regattas organization and is backed by other lake’s sailing clubs. It hosts several Vaurien boats and periodically organizes regattas and sailing school activities all year around. CVB co-hosted (with Ali6 Club Vela which shares the Club area with) the organization of the Italian Vaurien National Championship event in 2021 and several Vaurien national regattas in the last years.
AsVaurien Italy is pleased to invite you all to Bracciano for the Vaurien World Championship 2025!
