The Ocean Regatta to La Gomera begins in Palos... with 760 miles ahead of it.

More than 65 crew members have incited this 760-mile ocean race in order to beat the test and if it is possible to lower the record of the journey established in 69 hours At the time planned by the organization, 14: 00 peninsular hour, and after a ceremony and offering by the fleet and guests, the exit was given to the thirty-first Ocean Regatta Palos- La Gomera. At that time the boat Mar Amigo was the first to set a course for La Gomera, accompanied by the VOR70 Desafio 533, the Adrian Hoteles and the rest of the fleet, where it surprises the timid exit of the French Pogo Suka which has subsequently been positioned in the head of the fleet.

The test, which meets 31 editions in its 40 years of history, emulates the first stretch of the ocean route of Cristóbal Colón and keeps alive the link between Huelva and La Gomera through sport and history.
