Los nueve barcos ya están camino de Valencia donde llegarán a mediados de mayo... la Rolex TP52 World Championship se ha aplazado para el mes de septiembre en Puerto Portals

The nine ships are already on their way to Valencia where they will arrive in mid-May... the Rolex TP52 World Championship has been postponed for September in Puerto Portals

In which it has been the greatest logistical challenge in the entire history of the 52 Super Series, the fleet of the world's most important monocasque circuit has returned "home..." the ships have now left Cape Town for Valencia on the BBC Dolphin, a 120-meter-long freighter.

The first experience in the waters of Africa was a success... the premiere of the race in the Southern Hemisphere left an excellent taste of mouth to all participants thanks to the excellent conditions that took place in Cape Town both in water and outside it thanks to the hospitality of the people and the multitudinary support that received the race... but the Covit-19 relentless, has caused the World Cup to be reprogrammed for next September in Puerto Portals.

Now, with the fleet released after the confinement in the South African city by the Covid-19, the ships, the containers and the assistance boats already sail to Valencia where the "BBC Dolphin" is scheduled to arrive around 16 May.

For Agustín Zulueta... "right now the first goal of the 52 Super Series is to be able to do the Rolex TP52 World Championship in September in Puerto Portals... the rest of the options remain open with different calendar scenarios."
