Conde de Gondomar Trophy Regatta in the Galician estuaries

A historic competition that has been held since 1976, the Conde de Gondomar regatta runs through the Galician estuaries in a wide regatta course.
From Baiona to the Costa da Morte, cross-country regattas and windward-leeward events will be held.
The four days of navigation begin with the mythical ascent to Carrumeiro Chico, in the Corcubión estuary, with a distance of 100 miles in a round trip.
On the following day, the Cíes and Ons archipelagos are circumnavigated, in a route of incomparable natural beauty.
Finally, the windward-leeward routes will put all the crews to the test in an eminently technical day.
This regatta will help you improve your skills at the helm of a VOR60, increasing your confidence when tackling medium-distance journeys. Come and share it with other sailors with the same concerns.
If you want to join our team of professionals and compete for victory aboard a VOR60, join the crew in this challenge.
