From 3 to 6 March Bilbao will become the world center of Sailing, a meeting point for a wide range of navigators, Rematistas, adventurers, communicators and lovers of the sea, and with the best international content on sailing. A new edition of Sail in festival arrives, a festival of sailing culture, where the strong values associated with the art of sailing are transmitted (effort, spirit of improvement, teamwork, integration with nature, freedom, adventure, solidarity). And the art of sailing to the general public will be approached, away from the elitist and frivolous image with which it is normally associated.
It is a unique festival in the world, and has already become the meeting place for all lovers and fans of sailing and the sea.
We send a special greeting to our collaborator Iratxe Elso de Navegavela
