On the second day of the race, New Zealand Race Day, the two classes in competition have taken the exit in reverse order to the results of the inaugural day, with Ribelle of Class A leading the fleet followed by Pattoo... ship that has later had to withdraw due to technical problems.

In the end, the modern Ribelle, 33 meters long, has been able to withstand the powerful challenge of the second classified, the Svea, which in turn has awarded victory in the subplot of Class J over the Velsheda.

Following the same reverse output pattern, in Class B the last boat to take the exit has been the winner of Thursday, Rose. The 24-meter Wally and Farr's design has again won time and has awarded its second consecutive victory on the Mallorcan date ahead of the Swan 100 Onyx and the Swan 80 Umiko.

The duo of Dubois of 36m in Class B, Miss Silver and Lady M, have exchanged their results and Lady M has been made with the fourth position.

2023-06-22: The Pantaenius Race Day marks the beginning of the Superyacht Cup Palma

The Superyacht Cup Palma 2023 has started today in the Bay of Palma with excellent navigation conditions, with a wind of between 8 and 10 knots of intensity. A radiant blue sky has welcomed the varied fleet gathered for this twenty-second edition of Europe's longest superyacht race

The Pantaenius Race Day has marked the premiere of the tests at sea, in which the rivalry between the ships of the two classes in competition has become clear and has offered the teams the opportunity to show their potential to become firm candidates to the podium of each class and even to the absolute title of the Superyacht Cup Palma.

The key to success has been a smart navigation and precise tactical decisions, which on this day have come precisely from the winners of classes A and B of the last edition of the test: the Class J Velsheda, the usual of the Superyacht Cup Palma, and Wally Rose, who returns to the Mallorcan quote for the second consecutive year.

Tomorrow, the race committee will reverse the exit grill, which is very good, so we'll go out the last, which will make the race even more interesting.

And it was precisely the Velsheda, a Class J classic, that gave the exit pistolet to the Palma Superyacht Cup by first crossing the line in the step-out sequence used in Europe's longest superyacht race.

Exactly two minutes later he was followed by his main rival in the Bay of Palma, his classmate J Svea. And while both J maintain their own class rivalry, they have also had to face seven other competitors who fight for the overall title of the Superyacht Cup Palma, including Pattoo and Ribelle, two 33-meter-long Malcolm McKeon designs, competing with them in Class A, and who have come out in their pursuit also with two minutes of difference.

Although Velsheda has gained ground in the first girth, Svea has cut distances in the cremated. But his rival has regained time in the rest of the tour and took the victory for more than six minutes, with Pattoo in third position ahead of Ribelle.

At the exit of Class B, the decreasing breeze has influenced the result. The 24-meter Rose has been the last to take the exit, although the Wally has had no problems with the conditions and has been the first to finish the class tour after just over two hours of race.

Rose has been made with the class's victory for two minutes in compensated time in front of the Swan 100 Onyx, which premiered at the Superyacht Cup Palma, and which has been won with the right to brag in front of her shipyard partner, the Swan 80 Umiko. The Dubois duo, composed of Miss Silver and Lady M, who also debuted at the Superyacht Cup Palma, have completed the class podium.

The Happy Hour offered by North Sails and Southern Sparks waited for the regatists after docking in the RCNP pants, as well as the silver plates for the day winners offered by Pantaenius in the daily awards.

The races of the Superyacht Cup Palma continue tomorrow Friday with the New Zealand Race Day, as well as the daily award in the RCNP pants, followed by the exclusive summer barbecue for the shipowners, which can only be accessed by invitation, at the St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort.

Class A will no doubt live a very disputed competition between two 33-meter designs of Malcolm McKeon, Ribelle and Pattoo - the last class winner in 2022 - which will measure strength with the two Class J of the test, Velsheda and Svea.

After being without the trophy of the Superyacht Cup Palma last year, the Class J Svea, with the ocean regatist Bouwe Bekking again contributing his considerable experience to the crew, will try to rearm in the Bay of Palma in this new edition of the Majorcan meeting.

It is expected that a competition will be held in the varied and exciting Class B, with three superyachts debuting in the SYC: the Swan 100 Onyx, the Miss Silver, 36 meters, and the elegant Lady M, 39 meters, these last two Dubois designs.

To them is joined a second Nauthor Swan, the Swan 80 Umiko, who returns after his debut in 2021, and the Wally Rose, 24 meters and Farr design, who returns to the test for the second consecutive year.

After the last preparations, on Thursday the action at sea will begin with the Pantaenius Race Day. Meanwhile, the well-known social environment of the Superyacht Cup Palma has started this afternoon at the Real Club Náutico de Palma with the welcome cocktail offered by New Zealand, Destino Sponsor of the race for several editions.
