Fine Art Sails at 'Barcolana' and 'XI Veleziana' 2018

Barcolana / Veneziana 2018
October and November, Trieste and Venice, Italy


Sails design by International artists in fron of St Marco, Venice

Michael Ross whose inspired idea created Fine Art Sails continues his global adventure, this time in Italy: Sails designed by International artists were featured at the incredible 'Barcolana Regatta’ in Trieste with participation from some high level sailors, supporting the Andrew Simpson Foundation. The sails were sailing to Venice the following weekend as a display for the yacht club 'Compagnia della Vela' 2018. Over 200 boats invaded the San Marco Basin together with Fine Art and the traditional sails. The award ceremony in San Giorgio takes place Saturday, 24th November. More info in facebook.
'An Eye for the Buoys' - the hand-painted iconic art sail, is based on my steel panel sculpture portrait 'EVE'.
Sails of the artists are featured in this Cowes Yachting article. (photo credit: Fabio Taccola and Pierpaolo Lanfrancotti).x
