Entries Open For Palma 2010
Entries are now being accepted for this year’s Superyacht Cup in Palma and already more than a dozen yachts have registered. The event will take place June 23rd – 26th in the same central Palma location as in 2009. A wide-range of yachts are expected, from the most competitive racing superyachts to cruising yachts who come to enjoy the sailing spectacle.
The racing will follow the pursuit format with ratings calculated by Jim Teeters of Bucket Ratings, ensuring that the sailing is closely contested and the finishes as exciting as possible. The recent Superyacht Cup in Antigua was the first chance to put the new Superyacht Racing Protocol rules to the test and it benefited from input from some of the most experienced superyacht helmsmen, tacticians and crew in the world.
The social programme comprises an Opening Welcome Cocktail Party on the first night, a themed fancy dress party on the dock on the Thursday night and a Yacht Hop and crew party on the Friday night. The Prize-Giving Evening will once again be held in the spectacular location of Es Baluard Museum overlooking the harbour and bay of Palma.
There is limited space (around 18 – 20) berths on the Superyacht Cup Dock and the total number of entries will be limited to no more than 25 yachts.
