DESIRE Project

We have always loved sport as a source of cohesion, personal growth and inspiration. For years we have worked to spread a culture of sport among adults and children alike, with the aim of sharing emotions together, always.

That is why we support the DESIRE Project, which promotes sailing activities aimed at young people, with national and international events on social, cultural and environmental themes. We believe that continuous stimulation helps create a context in which the problems and burdens of everyday life are greatly reduced, even forgotten altogether, promoting the social reintegration and recovery of young people who may face difficulties that are not only physical but also related to socialising.

The testimonials of the DESIRE Project are two Olympic stars: Daniele Scarpa and Sandra Truccolo.
