(PRIMASPORT) BARCOLA AND GRIGNANO Mitja Gialuz, president of the Barcola and Grignano Sailing Society, emphasized how sailing is inherently an inclusive and educational sport. During the "Caffè sul Vespucci" series, promoted by ANSA and the Amerigo Vespucci World Tour on the occasion of the Barcolana regatta, Gialuz explained that at sea, "going to sea 'levels'," eliminating hierarchies and allowing only the ability to read and bravely face the sea to count.

“"That doesn't mean a vulnerable person isn't more courageous and capable of facing the sea," he said, highlighting the inclusive value of sailing. He also emphasized the importance of crew, which teaches teamwork and community.

Gialuz also cited the message from Marina Abramovic's poster for the 50th Barcolana in 2018, "We are all in the same boat," to emphasize how everyone on board a boat is equal, with a common language and no differences in status. (PRIMASPORT)
