Thanks to Madhavan Thirumalai (USA) for this link;

Thanks to Ulli Sheu (SUI/ITA), for help with this info;

15 Italian regions are on the list to have covid restrictions eased to 'yellow' categorisation as from Monday 26th April. These include Veneto and Lombardy, that host our major Italian events this year, the World Championship at Malcesine on Lake Garda and the International Regatta at Maccagno on Lake Maggiore.
For European countries attending national sporting competitions in Italy a covid test within 48 hours of border entry is enough and you do not need 5 day quarantine on entering Italy. I understand that from May a double vaccination is enough, instead of the pre-test (TBC).
Going back into Switzerland, residency or transit, there aren't restrictions now.
Restaurants and Bars in Italy are now be able to serve people at outdoor tables!
This provides a positive step in the progressive easing of restrictions towards achieving successful events for both local sailors and international visitors. We can hope for more information and the further easing of restrictions over the next few weeks.
Naturally sailors need to consider any further limitations from their home country or any transit countries.

Here is the link from the Italian sailing national authority, FIV, regarding international travel into Italy for national sporting events;
http://www.federvela.it/news/2813-iscrizione-atleti-stranieri-alle-regate-a-calendario.html
Click above Coronavirus 19 with the airplane (ulteriore link utile per gli stranieri) and you come to a page for travellers. There on your right you click on List of regions (List C covers Europe, List D includes AUS,NZL,JPN. Unlisted countries are confirmed individually, but with vaccinations we can expect a positive outcome).
On the bottom of those pages you have Exemptions for entries for national sporting competitions. It confirms that a test is now enough, and you do not need 5 day quarantine on entering Italy. You need to be a member of your national sailing association and be able to show your entry to the event. I understand that from May a double vaccination is enough, instead of the pre-test (TBC).

Unfortunately I doubt any Australian based sailors will be able to attend due to ongoing travel restrictions

With a new wave of Covid emerging in mainland Europe in March we will continue to monitor the situation.
