The much-awaited eighth edition of the 151 Miglia – Trofeo Cetilar is in less than 2 weeks and the number of participants has reached to 206.

In order to help you set up the last details and let you enjoy the regatta the best, we prepared a guide with everything you need to know in order to move easily between Marina di Pisa, Livorno, Punta Ala and Marina di Scarlino during the race days.

3. TRASPONDER: DROP-OFF POINT AT THE 151 VILLAGE!

You can drop off the transponder in the dedicated area arranged inside the 151 Village.

Once you arrive to the port of Punta Ala, you and your crew will have time take some refreshment before returning the device within 4 hours after your arrival, in order to avoid the penalty of 10% as defined by RRS 44.3 in addition to the cost of the device. Also remember to sign the compliance statement, which must be handed over together with the transponder.

The transponder will be installed by the staff of YB Tracking before the start at the ports of Marina di Pisa and Livorno; make sure you have it before leaving!
