From the excellent facilities of Marina Benicarló will begin the southern version of the Metromar Nocturna Regata...

Although the registration period of the Metromar Nocturna Regata is still open, in the facilities of the Club Níutic de L'Ampolla (Tarragona) there is a moderate optimism about the number of participants who will compete in this unique cruise race on the morning of Friday to Saturday of next week.

The Metromar Night Regatta will be 30 ships between the two lines of departure. The southern version will be more numerous: Benicarló-L'Ampolla with a little more than twenty and less the new Cambrils-L'Ampolla with about a dozen... provisional figures in the absence of a week to be held.
