2021-10-31: The Golden Cup Marina Vela began in Barcelona, heading for Vilanova i la Geltru

Despite the difficulties with the wind, 17 ships left Barcelona today... which is not bad at all.

The departure, initially scheduled for Saturday, had been postponed by the unfavourable weather conditions experienced yesterday... the postponement has also meant a reduction of the route, which will finally be Barcelona- Vilanova i la Geltrú- Barcelona, with just over half a hundred miles... and a smooth wind of 7 knots.

The international fleet is well represented by the Dutch team of the Yellow Rose, an X-35, the Belgians of the Diabolic, Sun Fast 35, the Danish team of the Lazy Dog, Grand Soleil 45, the French of the Colibri V, Dehler 34 as well as the Andorran Pere Roquet on board the Gran Soleil Marjuin.
