Barcelona is preparing to host the 52nd Trophy of Vela Conde Godó BMW with about 100 ships and 14 countries

The main living room of the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, hosted this noon the official presentation of the 52 Trophy of Vela Conde Godó-BMW, which will be held from 28 May to 1 June. In the absence of the closing of the registration period, scheduled for May 23, the organization expects to bring together about 100 ships and about 800 regatists from 14 countries, once again consolidating this appointment as one of the great races of the Mediterranean.

Pablo Garriga, Nautico's comodor and Regata Director... commented that this edition has set up four race fields to host all the participating classes: the first for the ORC 0 to 5 fleet; the second for the ORC Promotion class; the third for the ORC A Two class; and the fourth, exclusive for the J70 monotypes, which include the "BMW Women's Cup." "

For its part the category ORC A Two is a fourth year in a row, with 11 offshore routes planned to the north, the Delta del Ebro and Baleares. In addition, the Joan Guiu Prize will be held. In the J70 class we wait for 16 teams and take advantage to announce that the RCNB will host the J70 European Championship in 2026. We also have a special illusion that young club regatists, who compete in 420, join this year in this category... as regards the new class ORC Promotion has had an excellent welcome, with 16 ships already registered, which shows that there is a growing base of fans who want to make the leap to the technical competition. In the class of the queen ORC 0, we hope to close with at least six boats, which will allow us to offer a classification of our own.
