69F WOMEN FOILING GOLD CUP
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2023
The first edition of the all-female regatta will be in Gargnano, Lake Garda,
from August 28th toSeptember 3rd
69F has been working on organizing an all-female foiling regatta. Thanks to the enthusiastic response of several crews from different continents, the idea has become a reality, with the 69F Women Foiling Gold Cup to be held in Gargnano, Lake Garda, from August 28th to September 3rd.
69F is the only one-design, foiling monohull for crew, the Class for several years has been organizing successful circuits, one open and another one under 25, many girls participate in both with some all-female crews. From this year they will also have an event dedicated exclusively to them. The response from the first female sailors has been incredible, and there are already several registered teams finalizing their crews with names ranging from the Olympic world to single-handed foiling boat, from both Europe and the United States, with interest coming also from Australia and New Zealand.
The event will be held on Lake Garda, in Gargnano, well known for its conditions on the water and organization on land, thanks to the staff of the Circolo Vela Gargnano with its volunteers and race officials. The event is set to have a minimum of six to a maximum of 12 crews and will follow a schedule similar to that of the successful Youth Foiling Gold Cup, with teams taking turns on the six 69F-owned hulls for two days of qualifying, at the end of which there will be two days of finals to determine the final standings.
The sporting part is then complemented by the social moments, with morning briefing and post-regatta fleet-party, when foiling experts will meet the sailors to let them learn more about the new way of going to sea, which onboard 69F is not so different from traditional sailing, made of strategy and tactics, mainsail, jib and gennaker trimming and a lot of teamwork.
The date for women who wants to fly on water is from August 28th to September 3rd in Gargnano, Lake Garda, with the 69F Women Foiling Gold Cup.

Today we are racing in Valencia for GP1 of the 2024 Algebris 69F Cup - ValenciaMar Sailing Week
The Antiguan Rum Runners are leading the first of six events of the 2023 Algebris 69F Cup in València
Valencia, Spain - The highly anticipated ValenciaMar Sailing Week kicked off today, marking the first event of the 2023 Algebris 69F Cup. Sailors from around the world gathered to compete in this exciting competition. The opening day of the event saw some intense competition, with sailors battling it out in challenging conditions. The sailors faced winds ranging from 8 to 12 knots from the southeast, creating a demanding opening day of racing.
After six thrilling races, the current ranking sees Rum Runners from Antigua and Barbuda in the lead. Switzerland's Katana Sailing is in second place, closely followed by Groupe Atlantic from France in third. The Swiss team CER Ville de Geneve is in fourth place, with Marga from Italy in fifth. Team Oceana Vivo from Great Britain and Flying Nikka from Italy are in sixth and seventh place, respectively.
“The first day of the Algebris 69F Cup in ValenciaMar was great for us” said Jann Schoupbach, Katana, flight controller. “It was marginal foiling conditions, but we felt comfortable in these conditions cause we had them in the winter trainings. We took a bit of time to get used to racing, as it has been a long time since racing in this class, overall we are happy with our performance, the level among the top teams is quite high and it is very fun to race in these fleet”.
The ValenciaMar Sailing Week will continue over the coming days, ending on Sunday, with six races per day scheduled. With the competition so close, it's anyone's guess who will emerge as the ultimate winner of the first event of the 2023 Algebris 69F Cup.
