Vision Nautica was also in the island of Mallorca (Spain) from July 30th to August 8th, 2004 to attend IMS Regatta "Copa del Rey de Vela" organized by the Royal Nautical Club of Palma.


This is the most important regatta of the IMS circuit because of the large number of national and international boats racing (120+) as well as for the high level of the skippers and teams participating. Most of the crews are professional and/or Olympic sailors. Also, the European royalty sails here. King of Spain, prince and princess of Spain and King of Norway are among the skippers in this high profile regatta.
