My name is Daniele Davini; I am a professional skipper with years of experience in offshore racing and national and international sailing competitions.

I am the skipper and helmsman of the 12-metre carbon-fibre sailing yacht named Aria (formerly known as Container). It is one of the best-performing boats in its class in Italy: it was the fastest 12-metre yacht in Italy and has demonstrated speed and winning potential in various competitions.

Today, Aria is ready to compete at the highest level: the carbon hull, appendages and rigging have been meticulously crafted, and the boat is perfectly tuned to tackle the upcoming regattas.

For me, it is essential to be able to continue competing and winning with Aria, keeping her among the fastest and most competitive boats in Italy. Winning with this boat means demonstrating the value of the work carried out, showcasing Italian excellence in boatbuilding and carbon fibre innovation, and opening up new sporting and professional opportunities.

To achieve these goals, I am raising funds for:

• Participation in the season’s major regattas (travel, entry fees, logistics, onshore support)

• Purchasing and replacing high-performance carbon materials and components (sails, rigging, state-of-the-art hardware, technical optimisations)

•Tangible rewards (not just a thank you): a boat trip, a personalised T-shirt, a video mention, a coaching session, and for those who donate or sponsor the most, we can take them on board as crew for the regattas

The funds raised will not only enable us to participate in events, but also to attract high-performance technical sponsors (nautical brands, shipyards, manufacturers of composite materials, technical clothing, etc.) who can grow alongside the project, increase their brand visibility and generate further funding opportunities.

✅ Companies that decide to sponsor the project will be able to benefit from tax deductibility of sponsorship expenses in accordance with current legislation (Articles 108 and 125 of the TUIR or other tax relief schemes for sports sponsorship).

A special thank you goes to all the collaborators, craftsmen, sailors, technicians and friends who have already contributed their time, skills and resources to restore Aria to her full potential. Without your support, we would not be here ready to compete and win.

A heartfelt thank you to anyone who wishes to be part of this journey and help Aria return to the podium!
