La 42 Copa del Rey MAPFRE rebasa el techo de inscritos con más de 120 equipos

The strength of the Copa del Rey MAPFRE continues to grow year after year. The organizing committee's focus on a mix of participating classes—ORC for compensated time and one-designs like ClubSwan, J/70, and Blusail 24 for the Women’s Cup—has paid off, making the Copa del Rey MAPFRE a key event for international boat owners and sailors.

Having their name etched in the regatta's record under the bust of King Felipe VI at the club entrance, and showcasing one of the most prestigious trophies in world cruising sailing in their cabinets, ensures a high registration value for the Real Club Náutico de Palma.

The registration deadline for this 42nd edition closed on Saturday, June 15, with 122 boats registered. Teams have until Sunday, July 28, to complete their crew registrations. The organization plans to use this date for final registrations, sail measurements, and ratings, alongside the scheduled training sessions on the Bay of Palma racecourse until Monday, July 29.

The day before, on Saturday, July 27, the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Copa del Rey MAPFRE by authorities and sponsors will take place, serving as the "starting signal" for this 42nd edition. The event will also feature three social highlights: the owners' dinner at Castillo Hotel Son Vida on Tuesday, July 30, the MAPFRE white cocktail on the club terraces on Thursday, August 1, and the awards ceremony presided over by King Felipe on Saturday, August 3, at Ses Voltes, at the foot of the Palma Cathedral.
