Puerto Portals, headquarters of the Rolex TP52 World Championship in September

The Organizing Committee of the 52 Super Series has confirmed today, that the World Rolex TP 52 2020 will be held from September 15 to 19 in Puerto Portals waters... the fleet that arrives today in Valencia back from Cape Town on board the BBC Dolphin freighter after three weeks of crossing... but the July Valencia meeting has had to be cancelled due to the current situation of global health crisis.

The return of the ten ships of the fleet to the Mediterranean is a very important step forward for the circuit. The landing of the sailboats will allow the Rolex TP52 World Championship to return to the prestigious and elegant Puerto Portals, which has already hosted the world-wide event in the years 2015 and 2019. Any of the competing teams in which the world's best race circuit for monocasque ships is considered can win the world-wide event, but the current title defender, the Platoon of Harm Müller-Spreer, seems to have a very special relationship with this competition. The German sailboat will try to revalidate its title last year and what could already be a sports dynasty with three titles in four seasons. And he also aspires to be the first team to win a World Cup in two consecutive years, no one has done so to date.
