This Saturday the Copa América arrived at the Real Club Nautico in Barcelona to accompany the Trophy Conde Godó, both cups have been exposed on the terrace of the club. The Jarra de las 100 Guineas is the most exclusive and ancient sports trophy in London in 1848 by Messrs & Garrad & Co. of Panton Street.

The Count of Godó Trophy dates back to 1973 and in the crest in which all the winning ships of the Count of Godó Trophy are registered is the reflection of these 50 years of history of the Mediterranean's dean cruise race. Let the name of your ship be there for the Sailing story. All the winners raise this spectacular silver trophy, but they don't have it on their own, but the Cup is all year round in the Barcelona RCN for the joy of partners and visitors.

This silver cup was made in a handmade way by the Soler-Cabot Jewelry, a family business with a lot of tradition in Barcelona. Jorge Soler-Cabot, owner and then president of the Royal Club of Tennis Barcelona, was commissioned by Carlos Godó Valls, then president of the Royal Nautical Club of Barcelona, the conception of the cups first of the Trophy Conde Godó de Tennis and after that of Vela

Half a century later the firm Soler-Cabot is still present in Godó de Vela, not only with the trophy, but also sponsoring one of the ships participating in the race. It is the Soler-Cabot Bamer, a DK46 model and in the Queen's Trophy will compete under the name of Mercedes-Benz Valdisa and in the Tembra Vela and the Mapfre King's Cup as Star Damm.
