The 55th edition of the Barcolana, which attracts more entries than virtually any other sailing race in the world, has been the latest in a string of major events to sign a sponsorship deal with Highfield Boats. Highfield, in association with Burin Boats, has provided a fleet of 18 RIBs for on-the-water support at the spectacle whose 2023 edition hosted over 1700 entries last Sunday 8th October on Italy’s Gulf of Trieste.
The RIBs included Highfield’s Sport and Patrol models ranging from the 660 to the 900. Customised especially for Barcolana 55, the exclusive RIBs now go on to new owners and while most are pre-sold some are still available.
