The 17th Puig Vela Clàssica Regatta successfully concluded its most spectacular edition, securing its position as a global benchmark in classic sailing. With 77 boats and over 800 sailors, this edition leaves an indelible mark on the history of the competition and classic sailing in Spain.

The coincidence with the America's Cup in time and space, in the waters of the Catalan coast, along with the proximity of the racecourse over these 4 days, has left spectacular images for both professionals and sailing enthusiasts. Special mention goes to the 12M, legends in the America's Cup in the 70s and 80s, who have undoubtedly been the protagonists this year. Along with the 15M, Class-P, and the rest of the classic categories, they have made history by coming together for the first time in a single event, offering an unprecedented exhibition in the world of classic sailing.

The XVII Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona Regatta is an international event that is part of the official RFEV calendar and counts towards the II International CIM Championship (International Mediterranean Committee), as well as the XIII Mare Nostrum Trophy - Spanish Cup of Classic Boats.
