Offshore Racing. Female Power. The Goal: The Barcolana.
With HERidian we are opening a new chapter: the first all-female mid-distance offshore race of the HERizon series. An event entirely by women for women. 300 nautical miles from Punat to Trieste, where we show what we are made of.
Whether you are an offshore newcomer or an experienced gennaker trimmer: with us, you sail in an environment that encourages rather than judges. We bring female sailors from all over the world together to learn from each other, take responsibility for our crew, and grow together.
What to expect in our safe space at sea
- Targeted empowerment: Two professional training days by and with experienced female sailors
- Real challenge: A demanding Cat-3 regatta with all-female crews
- Shared success: The spectacular finish at the Barcolana
- Strong network: Valuable exchange and connections that last far beyond the race.
Take home unforgettable memories and become part of our female sailors community!
