The race opens the 2021 season and brings together 16 ships of 12 nationalities that will also commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the TP52 class.

16 ships of 12 different nationalities are located in Puerto Portals to celebrate the Port Portals 52 Super Series Sailing Week & TP52 20th Anniversary Invitational. Today, the press conference was held in which everyone present agreed to point out that the race returns to one of its talisman ports and does so with much force after 18 months of forced and responsible paron.

The most important novelty of the expected return of 52 Super Series is that the first race of the season will also be a tribute to the TP52 class that turned 20 years in 2020. Therefore, in Puerto Portals, the usual fleet that competes for the world's most important monocasque ship circuit along with seven other TP52 that arrive to celebrate the The Invitational race has been gathered. Although most of the fleet is already tied in Puerto Portals, it will not be until Sunday when the first official training is done for the two fleets. On Monday 23 there will be a joint training that will be the antecedent of the great day of celebration when the two fleets already match on a day of official races. The races will be from August 24 to August 28.

The online press conference was attended by Corinna Graf, CEO of Puerto Portals; Agustín Zulueta, general director of 52 Super Series, Nacho Postigo, navigator of the Providenza and Toni Guiu shipowner and cane of the first Spanish ship that participates in an event of 52 SUPER SERIES, the Blue Carbon.
