Barcelona’s Triple Crown of Sailing

May 14, 2007 on 4:02 pm | In Uncategorized |

Saturday and Sundays from May 12 to May 27

The Zegna Regatta is the first of the three events that make up Barcelona’s ‘triple crown’ of sailing events. with the Trofeo Real Club Nbutico de Barcelona and the Trofeo Conde de Godo being held on the two following weeks. Valencia hosting the Americas Cup may have taken some of the fizz out of this year’s edition, but the organisers are still spouting firth about 2007 being the biggest and best yet and all the usual…

The Zegna is contested by the RN E IMS 670, First Class 8 and Platu 25 classes, the Trofeo RCNB by TP52, Classics. IMS 570 and 670, RN 11213, First Class 8 and Platu 25, and the Godo by TP 52, Classics, IMS 570, RN 1 /2/3 and IMS 670. Hopefully that means something to some of our readers, coz frankly here at SM, we ain’t got a clue what it’s all about.

What we do know is that the place to hang about and watch the boats is the Port Vell (that’ll be the old port, the area around Maremagnum and Barceloneta, it’s fairly easy to spot, the fact that there are loads of boats floating on stuff called water tending to be a fairly big giveaway). The Zegna Regattas start at 10.30, while 12.00 noon is the start time for the others, and for full details, we suggest you go to www.rcnb com (only in Spanish and Catalan).
