The Barcelona Royal Yacht Club (RCNB), delegated by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV), is in charge of organizing the 12th edition of the PUIG VELA CLÀSSICA BARCELONA Regatta (for Vintage and Classic Yachts, Big Boats, 15-meter and 12-meter international rule boats) sponsored by Puig.

This competition, which has established itself as one of the most prestigious international events of classic and vintage sailing, will bring together the most beautiful boats in the world, coming from Spain and other European countries such as Germany, France, Holland, England, Italy, as well as the United States and Argentina, among others.

Exclusive, historic sailboats such as the Alba, the Kelpie of Fal-mouth and the Moonbeam III, which were proclaimed winners in previous editions, will sail the Mediterranean again in this XI edition of the Barcelona Puig Vela Clàssica regatta. All the parti-cipating vessels, many of them boasting more than a century of history, have maintained their original aesthetics, which makes them authentic seafaring gems, like a floating museum.

Barcelona is one of the few enclaves in the world, such as Antigua, Newport or Cannes, which has the exclusivity of hosting classic yacht regattas. Since the very beginning, both citizens and tourists who visit the city during the second week of July have enjoyed to the Barcelona Puig Vela Clàssica regatta. A unique show that can be seen from different iconic parts of the city such as Barceloneta Beach, Port Olímpic or Port Vell.

The Barcelona Puig Vela Clàssica regatta is already an essential date in the official regattas calendar and has managed to consolidate its fame and stature both nationally and internationally. The 12th annual PUIG VELA CLÀSSICA BARCELONA Regatta is an event featured on the Spanish Royal Sailing Federation’s (RFEV) official calendar and counts towards Spain’s 2019 national championship for Vintage and Classic Yachts as well as the 9th Mare Nostrum Trophy.

“ The Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate the international impact of Barcelona and our company through a totally unique event. With this regatta, Puig reinforces its commitment to the city and to the world of sailing year after year.”
