The
trabaccolo (lugger) "IL NUOVO TRIONFO" is the largest
classic Adriatic boat still maintained in sailing condition. Built in
the shipyard of Cattolica in 1926, it was bought in 2008 by a group of
Venetians committed to its demanding restoration for possible reuse as
a recreational boat. "Il Nuovo Trionfo" participates every year
in the most important public events of the city of Venice and its lagoon.
The Regata Storica or the Feast of the Redentore seen from the deck of
this magnificent boat are unforgettable experiences. Upon request you
can join the crew for scheduled events. (the boat is not available
due to a deep ship refitting. Jan 2018) www.ilnuovotrionfo.org
