The particular geographical conformation on the northern stretch of Garda, the constant and timely winds, the magnificent landscape with the mountains which surround the lake extending from Riva del Garda to Torbole, Mount Brione and Arco sets the stage for a great festival of sport which will see hundreds of young sailors from all over the world aboard their “Optimists” competing in the World Championships on Lake Garda. This was the challenge given to our friends at Fraglia Vela Riva when they were awarded the organization of the World Championships, 2013: to transform a sports competition for three hundred young helmsmen from all corners of the world into an event of friendship and joy regardless of language, culture or religion. I am sure that these youngsters , many of whom will be skippers in the future, will teach all of us that friendship has no colour and that sport is an opportunity to stay together, to get to know each other and to exchange experiences.

From the 15th to 26th July, Riva del Garda will be the capital of the beautiful sport of sailing with the best of our youth combining the value of sport with friendship. The beauty of this corner of Trentino, which is the envy of the rest of the world, will witness passion, fatigue, intuition and courage.

My gratitude goes to the organisers who through their experience over the years will give these youngsters and their chaperones an experience at the highest possible level.

Favourable Winds to everyone!

The sense of freedom and the wind in your hair, the direct relationship with nature and with Lake Garda, the indisputably impressive theatre and ideal venue for water sports. These are unique moments that only sailing can provide, a noble discipline set in completely natural surroundings.

These World Optimist Championships convey the philosophy of Fraglia Vela Riva by investing in the new generations bringing together “the best youngsters” in international sailing on stage on Lake Garda full of hope and enthusiasm.

Once again the town of Riva will host a great event which will certainly be one of the most stimulating and visionary bringing together these youngsters who are the reality of today and the hope for the future of each generation.

A great international event enriches Trentino and adds to the value of tourism on the global scene leading to greater prospectives. In this context the work of Fraglia Vela Riva is important and strategic as it strengthens the area of water sports, an area which has grown and diversified over the years and which must be focused on with yet even more effort. In this case I applaud the attention given to the young whether just learning to sail or racing competitively and acquainting them with a sport that brings them in contact with nature and the secrets of the lake, while at the same time teaching them to respect the ecosystem, an important value for the population of this beautiful area.

As for the visibility and “exportation” of the Trentino brand, I ‘d like to highlight all the international competitions that are organised by Fraglia Vela Riva which bring enormous prestige to Riva and Lake Garda, Trentino.

For this, a heartfelt thanks to all responsible at Fraglia Vela Riva and to their collaborators and a warm welcome to Trentino to everyone, guests and enthusiasts for a World Championship that will bring personal and competitive satisfaction as well as an opportunity to appreciate and taste the flavours that our area has to offer.

Of all the successes we have seen at Fraglia Vela Riva, this one is indeed special, hosting the World Optimist Championships and bringing together the promising children and young people of sailing to our town and Lake Garda where tomorrow’s great champions are born and raised.

This is a sporting event of great and concrete importance which has relevant symbolic meaning and joyful impact and which is a great source of pride and satisfaction for our town. For Fraglia Vela Riva it is the latest recognition and well-deserved gratification after years of hard work and dedication.

The town council has always supported sailing, a refined sport which values with measure and respect a natural environment of great worth and one of the most beautiful stretches of water in the world. We therefore extend a very warm welcome to all the young competitors and their chaperones, to the teams and to the technical staff and wish everyone a clean and exciting competition and a pleasant stay in our town.

Sincere greetings to the organisers and participants of the World Optimist Championships, which take place at Riva del Garda from the 14th -25th July, 2013. Italian sport is proud to be part of such an important event which brings together the excellence and future of international, juvenile sailing, confirming Fraglia Vela Riva as one of the most flourishing clubs in Italy and the world.

Around 300 helmsmen from all over the planet will descend on Riva del Garda to compete in all weather conditions, displaying the courage and technical skill needed to confront the challenges that the wind and water deliver. Perhaps we will see the future of Italian sailing among these young skippers.

The enthusiasm and professionalism shown in the organisation of this event brings you honour and is the best way of attracting young, new enthusiasts to this undeniably fascinating discipline.

I’d therefore like to take this opportunity in wishing all the participants a rousing “good luck!”

I.O.D.A. President

I am pleased and honoured to extend cordial greetings to our friends on Lake Garda, and especially pleased as this splendid location is to be the backdrop for a very important event: the World Optimist Championships.

Within a few days very young sailors from all over the world will gather here and will most certainly have the chance to appreciate your organization and hospitality: for them it will always remain a memorable experience.

I am aware that everything you do for “our” sport is done with passion, professionalism and enthusiasm; and for this I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to you all!

Wishing you Favourable Winds

Peter Barclay “This year the Optimist World Championship returns to Europe after quite some time, precisely to Italy, a country with a long and important sailing tradition, and particularly to Lake Garda, very dearly known to the Optimist Class for their record breaking yearly Easter regatta.

On behalf of IODA I wish to thank very much to the organizers from Fraglia Vela Riva and from the Optimist family in Italy for all the hard work they have put to make this event possible.

Thanks to their dedication and hospitality, the best sailors from our member countries will gather in Riva Dell Garda to compete intensively but fairly to become the best of the best, but also to find new friendships and to share their experiences with other young sailors from every part of the world.

Good winds to all.

President of Fraglia Vela Riva

Mauro Stanga

It is with enormous pleasure that I put pen to paper on behalf of Fraglia Vela Riva to welcome all the participants of The World Optimist Championships, 2013.

Our club, founded in 1928, celebrates its 85th anniversary this year and never like today has this championship rekindled the spirit of 85 years ago when the association was born precisely for the purpose of bringing together enthusiasts of sailing from all over the world to appreciate and become acquainted with Lake Garda.

Undoubtedly the beauty of the place, the good fortune of having southerly winds, such as the Ora and the wind from the north, the skill and professionalism of those at Fraglia Vela Riva all contribute in creating regatta courses and tracks which are highly specialized and competitive. 31 years of the Garda Optimist Meeting have given us valuable experience in organizing large events. The last two years the Optimist Meeting recorded such a high number of participants that it was officially registered as a Guinness World Record as the largest single-class regatta in the world.

I extend a very warm welcome to all the teams, competitors and their entourages, regatta judges, calibrators, guests and the authorities who will be present during the course of the event.

I would particularly like to thank all the sponsors who have allowed us to produce such an important world championship and The Autonomous Province of Trento who has always given support to those who endeavour to produce such events.

Greetings and thanks also to our host town, Riva del Garda which regards Fraglia Vela Riva as a vital presence in the area.

Thank you to everyone for this experience and I hope that it remains for many years to come an experience to repeat.

Fraglia Vela Riva 85 years of his tory

The 2013 racing calendar has three important events scheduled for juvenile sailors. In addition to The Garda Optimist Meeting, which is a Guinness World Record and should exceed 1200 participants, efforts are being focused on two other top events - The World Optimist Championships and The O’pen Bic World Cup. In Olympic sailing The Eurolymp returns and Upper Garda has the honour of inaugurating the new Eurosaf Champions Sailing Cup. Fraglia Vela Riva has gone down in sailing history by being certified by the Guinness World Records for organising the largest, single - class regatta in the world. The record was made thanks to the young helmsmen of today who represent the future of sailing and of whom Fraglia Vela Riva dedicates a large part of its time and energy.

Fraglia Vela Riva, has been awarded the “Stella d’Oro al Merito Sportivo” (the gold star merit in sport). This award, established in 1933 by CONI, was presented to Fraglia for its 50 years of commitment and promotion of sport.

Fraglia Vela Riva is also the club which organised the most regattas in the 2012 Isaf calender (from September, 2011 to September, 2012). Italy came out on top with 82 events organised compared with 67 in France, 50 in the U.S. and 33 in Spain. This means that 13.78% of the events in the Isaf calendar were organised in Italy against 11.26% in France and 8.4% in the U.S. Looking at the organising clubs of these same events in the Isaf calendar, we see that Fraglia Vela Riva was first in the world with 16 events organised compared to 12 by Yacht Club, Argentina and 7 by Società des Regatès Rochelaises ( La Rochelle – France) and Abu Dhabi Sailing and Yacht Club.

For the occasion of the World Optimist Championships, the event will be followed “virtually” thanks to “new media”, with interviews, videos, photos published on Fraglia Vela Riva’s various web channels. For the first time in the history of the Optimist Championships, the last two days will be shown on direct web, in streaming.

The Optimist class began their successful partnership with TracTrac in June 2010. Each boat carries a small GPS unit that continuously registers the position and other data on the boats performance. This information can then be viewed live on line.

The live tracking enables friends and family to follow the races in great detail. The spectator can keep track of boats position on the water, speed, rank, performance indicators and a whole lot more – all in real time.

After the event the replay function gives ample opportunity for analysis of the race for coaches and sailors.

The ease of access (100% web based with no registration or program installation required) encourages spectators from around the world.

It is not uncommon for a tracked event to record more than 60,000 IP addresses with viewers from Alaska to Tanzania.

• italy Norberto Foletti,

Italian Association Optimist Class President Together with all the Italian “Optimists”, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to the young sailors and

their chaperones who are coming from all over the world to my native town, where I grew up, so to speak, from a sailing point of view. To take part in an event such as this is a great experience and it’s only the beginning. My wish for you all is that your passion for sailing continues to grow in the years to come and that this event will be remembered as just the start of many international and Olympic finishing lines, as has happened to many others in the past. I also hope that you all take home wonderful memories of Riva del Garda, Upper Lake Garda and of Italy!

Wishing you all favourable winds!
