The 76th Centomiglia Internazionale del Garda will take place this year on 5/6 September 2026: on 5 September the Trofeo Gargnano will be raced, and on 6 September it will be the turn of the R. Gorla trophy.
The historic regatta’s new format, now in its 76th edition, evolves by combining its heritage with innovation to involve an ever-growing number of sailors and enthusiasts. Boats racing under the ORC rule — which calculates handicaps based on each boat’s characteristics — will be the true protagonists, making the competition more accessible and exciting. The corrected time system will allow crews of every level, with different types of boats, to compete against each other in a regatta that rewards skill and strategy, not just pure speed.
The winner of the Trofeo Bettoni, and therefore of the 76th Centomiglia, will be the boat ranked first in the ORC Overall classification, while the first boat across the finish line in real time will be the winner of the Line Honour.
On 5 September, the Trofeo Gargnano will be raced. After rounding the starting buoy at Gargnano, the boats will head south, into the lower part of the lake, with a course buoy at Desenzano before returning. The following day, Sunday 6 September, the 60th Trofeo Gorla will be raced, with boats sailing from Bogliaco, following the traditional course heading north to Limone Hotel Eala Torbole and, on the return leg, via Navene – FV Malcesine back to Bogliaco. The combined scores of the two races will determine the final ranking of the 76th Centomiglia.
