A Legendary Regatta
Over the years, the 200 Millas a2 has attracted top national and international sailors, combining sportsmanship, tactical skill, and endurance against the unpredictable winter conditions of the Mediterranean. Teams from across Europe have already expressed keen interest in participating in this landmark edition.
Furthermore, the organizers remain firmly committed to sustainability, safety, and the promotion of nautical culture—values that have defined the Altea Sailing Club since its founding in 1977.
"The 40th anniversary is a milestone not only for the Altea Sailing Club but also for the entire European sailing community. Hosting the ORC Double-Handed European Championship is a testament to the prestige this event has earned over four decades," said Francisco Fresneda Segura, president of CN Altea.

A core part of Altea Yacht Club's mission is to promote and support sailing and watersports. The sailing school is the main way in which the Club works to promote a love for sailing in both children and adults, while all of the board members in charge of dinghy sailing, yachting, rowing, fishing, diving, canoeing and swimming work hard to provide the facilities and services needed to encourage members and visitors take up a water sport, or improve their skills.
The Club organises high-level sports competitions throughout the year which attract competitors from all over Spain, including classic sailing events such as the two handed 200 hundred miles regatta that began in 1987, and the Altea Bay Open which has been held for over 20 years. The Club also holds fishing contests which are very popular with both children and adults from Altea, and rowing regattas which draw over 500 rowers from all parts of the region of Valencia.
