INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITIES SAILING CHALLENGE

1001 VELACUP

the trophy

The week of Regattas for the “1001VELAcup Trophy” is the main event on which most of the Association’s activity is focused.
The format of the 1001VELAcup Trophy includes standards that have been refined over the years.
During ‘the event there are three days of racing for the awarding of the challenge trophy “1001VELAcup” and the “Paolo Padova” trophy. The former is contested with boats designed and built by students, with crews formed by students; the latter involves crews consisting of a professor and a student.
Also recently established is the “Mainaldo Maneschi Award” for the best boat design, which combines the evaluation of the competing designs by a qualified jury with the results of the regattas.
