Palma de Mallorca, 16 January 2012.- The 43rd edition of the Trofeo Princesa Sofía MAPFRE, first ISAF SWC European stop will be held in the bay of Palma from 31 March to 7 April with a new racing programme including two official training days.
 
 
The most international regatta in Spain and registering the highest participation with over one thousand sailors from fifty nations carried out a consultation process with the international Olympic team managers and the Olympic classes associations in order to keep improving the regatta. In accordance with the interviews carried out during the bid process for the 2013 and onwards ISAF Sailing World Cup, the regatta was considered by many as the best ISAF Sailing World Cup event. From 2013 and onwards the new SWC will include only two European events which are the Semaine Olympique Française and the Mallorca regatta (all interviews are published at the regatta official webpage www.trofeoprincesasofia-mapfre.org].
 
 
Based on the comments received, the organisers of the Trofeo Princesa Sofía MAPFRE have scheduled two official training days before the start of the competition. Training races for Women’s Match Racing will be on 31 March and 1 April and classes sailing in fleets will have their training race on 1 April. Equipment stamping and measurement as well as team registration are also scheduled during these two days with racing taking place from 2 to 7 April, during the Easter week.
