The President of Confindustria Nautica, Saverio Cecchi, commented on the membership: “We are delighted to welcome The Foiling Organization as our associate. The Foiling Organization is an Italian reality of international relevance in the current scenario that sees boating evolve according to values that we share, thanks to technologically advanced, innovative and sustainable solutions that broaden the concept of mobility on the water, capable of involving new generations of enthusiasts as well.”

The Italian boating industry is a reference of excellence worldwide and its foiling sector is enriched day by day. With Confindustria Nautica we also share an excellent relationship with the city of Genoa, where, thanks to the precious collaboration with the Municipality, we have decided to establish our headquarters and where, on 18 April next, we will organize the first World Foiling Congress and the seventh edition of the Foiling Awards, assigned annually since 2016 to the best athletes, products and events elected by the international foiling community.”
