Venice Lagoon Raid

Has anyone been to the Venice Lagoon Raid?
http://www.velaraid.it/eng/index.php
Despite a love of Italian food for more years than I care to admit to, I have never been to Italy. This event would kill two stones with one Swallow.
I am looking to 2016 as the 2015 diary is filling up fast!

This U tube clip may be of interest. It is from the 2014 raid and shows at least one BR20.

Looks great! Yes, Julian, that's Claus at about 43 seconds in to the video.

I have found a second You Tube video of the 2014 event.
http://youtu.be/__19p--RLQ8
In response to an email enquiry I was told that there wont be a 2015 Velaraid. I have asked about the possibility of a 2016 Velaraid and I am awaiting a reply.

David I don't think I am going to get anymore information on VeLa Raid at this stage. I am on a mailing list of some sort so I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.
It looks like the next VeLa Raid Classic is in 2016 but no dates yet. and no definite confirmation. There may be a VeLa Raid Picinin in 2015 which is held on two consectutive weekends in June a 2+2 format but I cant find any definite dates.
For Facebook users there is a Facebook page with a lot of photos etc

Hello michaeln
Venice is a very attractive area as a sailing and touring venue.
It is one that has passed me by on both counts.
I will watch the event site.
