ORC European Championship 2025 / 43rd Copa del Rey MAPFRE

Preliminary schedule

Saturday, July 26th - Opening of the race office. 

Sunday,July 27th - Traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony by authorities and sponsors will take place, symbolizing the official start of the regatta.

Monday, July 28th - Official practice race.

Tuesday, July 29 to Saturday, August 2 - Racing for the ORC European Championship 2025 

Each day, the preliminary schedule includes either Windward/Leeward (W/L) races or a short offshore race, depending on the weather and wind conditions.

• The short offshore race is expected to last approximately 10–12 hours for the slowest boat.

• The inshore W/L races will each be around 1 to 1.5 hours in duration.

The Race Committee will determine each day whether conditions are more suitable for inshore or offshore racing to ensure the best possible competition on the waters of Palma de Mallorca.

“Spain is one of the main countries for ORC, among the 45 others, where ORC is present around the world. Copa del Rey is one of the most prestigious events in the Mediterranean. So, joining forces and having the ORC International Europeans here in Palma is an honour for ORC, and I think it’s also a challenge for Palma to demonstrate how strong the Spanish fleet is,” said Bruno Finzi, ORC Chairman.
