The main event of the Regata Storica is no doubt the men’s race in gondolini, which are very slender gondolas designed especially for racing.
The race has for years been a two team match, between the cousins Rudy and Igor Vignotto (this year in the brown boat) and Ivo Tezzat and Giampaolo d’Este (orange).
The course must be at least 10 km, it took them some 36 minutes and they arrived within one second of each other.
For once there were no arguments about foul play, waves from the judge’s boat or other such issues.
