«Sail for Women», the sailing race for the fight against female tumors, returns on Saturday 11th to the Golfo degli Angeli for its sixth edition. The initiative was presented this morning at Palazzo Bacaredda with the participation of the associations involved.
"We want to break the record of 100 boats, it will be spectacular," said Carlo Cottiglia, president of Avas, Offshore Sailing Owners Sardinia.
The route includes the departure from the Sella del Diavolo, the passage in front of the Lido, the Ospedale Marino, up to the Margine Rosso, and then return. It is not a competition: "We will all win, solidarity will win". For those who remain on land, excursions along the Sella are planned with guides who will teach breathing techniques.
