THE CONCEPT

Lake Lugano Rowing

The peace and extension of the crosswinds-free Gulf of Capalago-Riva San Vitale, a large unbuilt ground by the lake in Melano (made available by the Società Anonima Tannini Ticinesi) and the easy access by public transport create the ideal conditions for a 2’000 m rowing regatta with a large number of participants.

The project finally allowed the Ticino to propose again after 20 years a National Regatta on a classic distance for Swiss and foreign clubs, which we hope will become a recurring appointment in the rowing calendar.

GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION

 The logistical situation is optimal for accessibility with public transport too, and is compatible with the organisation of a regatta respecting the health rules also in a moderate pandemic context.

The regatta-ground is only 600 meters away from the rail station Maroggia-Melano, where many trains stops which stops for example also in Mendrisio, Capolago, Melide, Paradiso and Lugano. You can find an excerpt of the train schedule (valid in February 2022) here: orario_Maroggia_Melano

THE RACE FIELD

  • Race lenght of 2,000 m for the categories Elite end juniors U19, 1,500 m for juniors U17, 1,000 m for masters
  • Possibility of 6-8 lanes with 4 buoy lines (semi-alban system)
  • The lanes are well protected from the winds from the east and West, while the winds from the south and the north are parallel to the lanes

The racing mode

  • 2,000 m races are normally possible during light hours all day long , with a single short interruption for a passage of the line boat
  • Starting from and returning to the land permit ideal boot rotation (boarding-warming-racing-cooling—landing)
  • enough space along the shore for two docks (for boarding and for landing) with easy access from the boat area
  • electronic timing tools, 3G communication and speaker
  • Radio communication between employees
  • The logistical organisation and day program will be organised in accordance with a COVID protection plan adapted to the actual regulations; Covid-Pass and the absence of symptoms are requested to access the race area
