The seventh edition of the Hublot PalmaVela will be sailed from the Real Club N?utico of Palma de Mallorca starting on 15 April. Maxis and TP 52 will be in charge of raising the curtain on the regatta at 12:00 hours

The TP 52 class will also have their acid test today, after undergoing the new rule's modifications for the 2010 season.

The current Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre champion, Matador of Alberto Roemmers and Guillermo Parada stands as favorite and will try to repeat victory with sailors such as Santiago Lange or Bruno Zirilli onboard. Swedish Torbjorn Tornqvist's Artemis is likely to be Matador's main rival, with Paul Cayard calling tactics and New Zealander Cameron Appleton as strategist. British boat Cristabella of John Cook will have kiwi John Cutler as tactician.
