The Formula 18 (F18) Class is one of the most dynamic and spectacular in the international sailing scene. Based on a “box rule” regulation, it allows any 18-foot catamaran that meets a set of technical parameters to participate in regattas. This flexibility has encouraged the creativity of builders and sailors, fostering lively and innovative competition where the skill and strategy of the crews make the difference.
The F18 National Regatta is an annual event that brings together the best Italian crews for a series of thrilling regattas characterized by high speed, strategy, and technical skill.
The event is a celebration of sailing excellence, open to experienced crews and enthusiasts ready to compete in one of the most anticipated events on the national calendar.
