Three Balearic Crews to Compete for the ‘Snipe Armada Trophy’

The XLV Trofeo Armada Española, XII Memorial Marcial Sánchez-Barcaiztegui, XIX Trofeo Azor Ambiental, Memorial Paco Pérez—a historic event for the Snipe class—sets sail anew in the Mar Menor.

This iconic regatta, which will take place from December 6 to 8, wrapped up its first chapter of the 2024 edition with an official presentation that took place at the Club's Social Headquarters on November 28.

The significance of the 'Trofeo Armada' for the Snipe class has also been highlighted, being one of the most important regattas for Snipe sailors, a benchmark and almost a must-attend event in the calendar.

Of the 72 registered boats, three are from clubs in the Balearics: Marta Torner and Enrique Mir, aboard their “Maki” from Club Marítimo de Mahón; Toni Pons and Claudia Pons Gleichova, with their “Chica Txeca” from Club Náutico de Ciutadella; and Josep Pons Faner and Sasha Pons Gleisch, with their “Wanderlust,” also from Club Náutico de Ciutadella.

This regatta, which is part of the 'National Snipe Circuit', has become an essential date in the world of sailing, known for its high level of competition and quality, attracting the best Snipe class sailors from all over Spain and international fleets as well.
