The competing crews are currently in Itajaí (1/23 April) and in the coming months will reach Newport (10/21 May), Aarhus (30 May/8 June) and The Hague (11/15 June).

Charter of Ocean Rights

The Grand Finale 2022-23 Genoa event will not only be the epilogue to an extraordinary sporting challenge, but will also be a showcase for debates and workshops focused on environmental sustainability in the marine environment.

In fact, the Genoa Process, a project that will see the international leading experts and stakeholders in the sector take part in the drawing up of the first draft of a Charter of Ocean Rights, whose principles will be presented in Genoa during the “Grand Finale” and then delivered to the United Nations Assembly, in New York, in November 2023.

As a Sponsor, Boero YachtCoatings will be present in Genoa at the Ocean Live Park, the space dedicated to visitors and partners set up in the new Levante Waterfront, where activities, events and entertainment for visitors of all ages will be hosted.
