ePN. La nueva entrega del serial America’s Cup al Descubierto ofrece, entre otras cosas, un reportaje sobre la bahía de San Francisco, el control del canal de tráfico y su transformación en un estadio de la vela perfecto para los espectadores durante la Serie Mundial en el 2012 AC, la Louis Vuitton Cup y la final en el año 2013.
This year marks the 30th edition of this regatta which will take place between the 30th of July & the 6th of August and be hosted by the Real Club Nautico de Palma. This event is one of the most prestigious in Spain & The Mediterranean since its inception in 1982, when the National Association of cruises organized its first edition, also open to boats on handicap. Up until now there have been many changes & developments: increased technology, faster boats, greater involvement from institutions and companies. However, one of the few things that almost from its inception have remained constant is the support and active participation of the Spanish Royal Family.
The 2012 Olympics in London and are just around the corner. Finally, the Olympic teams have reached the end of a hard four years of preparation that mark the period between each Olympic Games. During that time, national authorities establish their criteria for forming & placing their Olympic teams. Prior to the Olympics, teams are examined in lead-up regattas marked by ISAF who determine whether they make the grade or not. In my position as an International measurer of the 470 Olympic class, I have been fortunate to share & encounter the preparation of the best sailors at this level.
