After two years of stop, “Le Vele d'Epoca in Naples” is back, the event that has opened the Neapolitan summer for 19 editions.

It is the international regatta for classic sails and this year it will take place from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 June 2022.

It was there to organize it for the first time Royal Yacht Club Canottieri Savoia in 2004. This year it will be organized by Capri Yacht Club which will house these wooden boats that are a century old.

Definitely an important event to take part in with a particular background, that of the most famous island in the world, Capri, that will host a party for the occasion and that for the first time will see the landing of the boats.
