SPAIN LAUNCHES A NEW PROJECT

The Spanish member of IODA (AECIO) have given their endorsement to an ambitious project, set up by the organisers of the four major regattas in the country (which are, incidentally, some of the biggest regattas in winter in Europe). The Optimist Excellence Cup 2011 is a ranking combining the points of the Trofeo Ciudad de Torrevieja, held in January by the Real Club Náutico Torrevieja; the KABB Trophy, in February, at the Club de Vela Palamós; the Semana del Atlántico, in November held by the Real Club Náutico de Vigo; and the Trofeo Ciutat de Palma, in December, organised by the Real Club Náutico de Palma.

These four events have been gaining in popularity for the last decade. Last year, the average turnout in each of these regattas was 250 participants from at least 15 countries, who took advantage of the excellent sailing conditions in Spain, even in winter, and of the quality of the organisation and the high level of the fleet.

Prizes are really tempting: trips to Euro Disney, complete Optimist boats, sails, sail equipment, sailing gear, etc.

Last Friday 28th was the official starting day of the Trofeo Ciutat the Torrevieja, for which there are more than 200 sailors entered from Germany, Finland, Spain, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia and Austria. Follow this event here.
