PROTECTING IT FROM STRONG CURRENTS AND VERY STRONG WINDS. Gulf of Follonica Piombino Race Area (assumption) Elba Punta Ala CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RACE AREA GULF OF FOLLONICA SEA CHARACTERISTICS THE WATER TEMPERATURE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IS BETWEEN 18° AND 24° DEGREES CELSIUS. THE WATERS ARE CLEAN AND CERTIFIED BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WHICH CONTROL THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT. PROPOSED EVENT WEEK SEPTEMBER 3-10 We propose this week because it is for many the last week of summer holidays. For example both Bayern’s and Italy’s summer holidays end on September 13th. We also trust that the month of September, instead of the traditional month of July, is a good option as worlds are being held March 22-28 in Australia.
