THE ITALIAN SB20 CLASS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE FLEETS IN THE HISTORY OF SB20. WITH UNFORGETTABLE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND SEASON SERIES ON LAKE GARDA THE LEGACY OF THE CLASS REMAINED STRONG. IN THE RECENT DECADE THE ITALIAN SB20 CLASS BASE HAS MOVED AROUND THE COUNTRY UNTIL 2025, WHEN DEVOTI SAILING CAME ONBOARD AS THE CLASS BUILDER. IN JOINT EFFORTS OF THE ITALIAN SB20 SAILORS AND ENTHUSIASTS, THE NETTUNO YACHT CLUB AND LUCA DEVOTI, THE CLASS HAS NOW FOUND A NEW BASE IN ANZIO, NEAR ROME, AND WILL HOST THE 2028 SB20 WORLDS.
