From August 24 to 28, 2022 we attended the XXIII Classic Sailing Regatta in Mahón Copa del Rey – Repsol. A regatta where classic sailboats offer us some spectacular photographs on the Island of Menorca.
We really enjoyed the good weather, and the spectacular nature of the Regatta.
Organized by the Mahón Maritime Club (CMM), this regatta was born in 2003 as VELA CLASSICA MENORCA and is the KING’S CUP OF VINTAGE AND CLASSIC BOATS by delegation of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV) and the Royal National Association of Cruises (RANC).
The declaration of Menorca as a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 mentions in an outstanding way the compatibility between the development of human activities and the conservation of a unique heritage and landscape.
The King’s Cup of Vintage Boats of the Club Marítimo de Mahón is inspired by the principles of that declaration and has been committed, since its foundation 15 years ago, to the dissemination of the culture of the sea and the beauty of Menorcan landscapes, for the conservation of the naval heritage and for the defense of the environment. These are the values that, added to the wind and sea currents, fill the sails of our legendary fleet.
