Marina Ibiza hosts and competes in 6th APD Crossing Regatta

Marina Ibiza hosted the sixth edition of the APD Crossing Regatta and also participated in its own vessel.

Upon arrival at the marina, the crews from the 11 competing boats enjoyed a courtesy cocktail at the Restaurante Calma and a full breakfast on the following morning before the prize-giving ceremony.

Marina Ibiza was awarded a trophy for its second-place finish in the general ranking, as well as a secondary prize for boasting the best technological vessel.

As is customary by now, the regatta began off the coast of Mallorca at 11:00am, with the boats setting sail for Ibiza, where the finish line was located, opposite the island of Tagomago. The voyage consisted of 49.2 nautical miles, which the Marina Ibiza vessel completed at 17:37pm, after an intense crossing during which the boat sailed at a speed of between 7 and 10 knots.

The Marina Ibiza team, aboard a DK 46, finished in second place, in both real-time and corrected time, beaten only by the Varadero Valencia Aquarelle Sailing Team boat.

The final standings of the regatta were:

  1. Varadero Valencia Aquarelle Sailing Team – CW 44
  2. Marina Ibiza – DK 46
  3. Atlant del Vent – IMX 45

Upon returning to Marina Ibiza at the conclusion of the regatta, the crews enjoyed an evening in Restaurante Calma, in celebrations that lasted until after midnight.
