The Royal Yacht Club of Palma will be organising this inter-island regatta that takes place between Mallorca and Formentera for the 10th year in a row. During the whole week the competitors will be taking to the sea on their journey to Formentera and back again to Palma.The competition - the Pepe Bellver Memorial - starts in the waters of the bay of Palma this Saturday, 5 September at midday, and heads over to La Savina in Formentera and competitors return a week later on the 12/13 September.
There are some 40 vessels making the crossing and in good conditions it should take about 12 hours to travel the 75 miles - in a low wind it can take up to 20 hours. So if you are in Mallorca this Saturday, why not head for Palma for the start of the race?
We can offer you flights to Mallorca and hotel accommodation along the Paseo Maritimo overlooking the marina - just give us a call, send an enquiry. We can also organise accommodation for you on the island of Formentera.
