The 2012 edition of the PalmaVela yacht regatta will take place in Palma di Mallorca, from April 18 to 22, hosted by one of the most prominent European yacht clubs, the Real Club Nautico de Palma. With the first edition in 2004, this popular regatta has quickly started to attract sailors from all over the world.
The 2012 edition is due to see 110 entrants, representing in excess of 15 countries, reinforcing itself as a spectacular opening to the Mediterranean season. With the aim to bring sailing closer to the public in general, this regatta has gathered all kinds of keeled yachts, several one design classes and the beautiful classic and vintage yachts.
The Swan entries, competing under IRC ratings, will enjoy exhilarating racing in the waters of Palma in the Maxi Racer, Mini Maxi and ORC classes.
PalmaVela is the event chosen year after year by many yacht owners or event organisers to present their new yacht. Such is the case of the new Swan 60 sailing yacht Bronenosec entered by St. Petersburg Yacht Club and sponsored by Gazprom. Other Swan entries include:
Alpina, Swan 80, Alpina by Finimmo
Bronenosec, Swan 60, Alpenberg S.A
