The University of Trieste wins the 1001VELAcup Trophy
The University of Trieste’s Audace Sailing Team has clinched the 1001VELAcup Trophy for the second year running. The team’s innovative sailboat, BAI Lina Rossa, triumphed in the regatta held in Monfalcone from September 21-24, 2022.
BAI Lina Rossa is the culmination of a project that began in 2019. The team first developed the Dedalo boats, followed by Lina, constructed from flax fiber. The latest iteration, BAI Lina Rossa, is even lighter and more advanced, thanks to its flax fiber and epoxy resin construction. This entirely student-led project encompasses every stage of the boat’s lifecycle, from design and construction to sea trials and racing.
We are delighted to have contributed our bio-based resin to this groundbreaking initiative, which represents a significant step forward in sustainable boating.
