The Trophy His Majesty The Rey-75 Winter Regatta is the oldest competition in Spain in light sailing. This race had a first history in the 20's of last century, with the so-called winter parties of the city of Málaga in which the Royal Mediterranean Club organized large races where many boats, both sports and Faeneras, took part.

After the Civil War, the Winter Regatas resurgen in the waters of the bay when there was not yet the Costa del Sol and Málaga was a winter city. The first winner of 1943 was the Canama Snipe, tripulated by Rafael Lacerda and lady, of the Real Club de Regatas de Cartagena. In that edition there were already 12 sailboats.

The Malagasy and the King

In 1972, the "Fortuna" Dragon with S.M. The King was the Spanish representative at the German Olympics. Its crew were two Malagasy regatists of the Royal Mediterranean Club: Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba and Larios and Félix Gancedo. After being named King, Don Juan Carlos, in consideration of the efforts of these two regatists, his love of the candle and his belonging to the nation's oldest nautical club, granted them the honour of putting their name on this Trophy. Since then, the Royal Mediterranean Club is the only Spanish Club that has a permanent race with the name of the King.

For this 75th anniversary, nine tests are scheduled over the three days of race, of which at least two sleeves are to be held for the validity of the event. There will also be no more than three tests per day. Regatists of the female, youth, absolute and master categories participate, although all compete in the same classification.

The winner of the S. M. El Rey Trophy and the Spanish Cup will be the patron who gets the minimum score and will be recorded on a silver plate in the original Trophy's crest with the year, name of the ship, fleet to which it belongs and name of the master and crew. For the final score you can count a test. The winner will also get the South Daily Trophy.

This Trophy S. M. The King will become the property of the master who won it three years in a row or five alternates, since his last award. Only four people own it during the 75 years of history of this competition: Carlos Gómez Raggio, Félix Gancedo, Carlos Llamas and Alejandro Fresneda.

As for the Martin Wizner Memorial Trophy, a Malaysian regatist who died prematurely in an accident at the Copa América training, it is obtained by the crew who obtained the minimum score. A test can also be ruled out. The Martin Wizner Trophy is won on property three years in a row or five alternates and has only been delivered on property once to Alejandro Fresneda.
