All British team do battle in Majorca<\/h4>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n

The entire 2020\u00a052 SUPER SERIES<\/u><\/a>\u00a0racing season, together with the first three events of 2021 – St Tropez, Bayonne and Valencia – like so many sporting events, were all cancelled due to Covid restrictions.<\/p>\n

But this week (August 24-28),\u00a0Puerto Portals Sailing Week<\/u>\u00a0<\/a>is going ahead as scheduled, as the world gradually gets back to pre-Covid normality.<\/p>\n

The regatta has attracted sixteen teams from twelve different nationalities with seven invited boats of different generations racing on the Bay of Palma, off the Spanish Mediterranean island of Majorca, alongside the nine 52 SUPER SERIES contenders. It is the largest number of TP 52\u2019s assembled in well over a decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
