The Rei en Jaume Regatta, a competition that reaches its thirty-sixth edition and will be held between 8th and 10th September, unites the towns of Salou and Santa Ponça, recreating the itinerary that, in 1229, led Jaime I to the island of Pantaleu first to later reach the Majorcan coast and begin the conquest of Majorca.
The regattas' sports programme will start on Thursday 8th September, with the skippers' meeting and the welcome dinner for the participants at the Salou YC. On Friday 9th September, the participating boats will gather in the bay of the Catalan town, from where the departure is scheduled and the awards ceremony will take place on 10th September.
The development of the regatta can also be followed live through the Santa Ponça Yacht Club website, www.cnsp.es, thanks to the sailing-tracking system that provides GPS devices to all the participating boats so that they can broadcast a constant signal throughout the journey, thus guaranteeing greater safety during the journey.
