The history of the Copa Del Rey Audi Mapfre is the chronicle of competitive sailing of the highest level in Spain and the Mediterranean. Thirty editions support a sports event which has tried, from its very beginning, to improve day by day, growing into one of the most prestigious European regattas.
Its origins go back to 1982, when the Asociación Nacional de Cruceros ( National Cruisers Association) and the Real Club Náutico de Palma organized the first edition of the Copa at the Club, an event which was opened to all classes using handicap racing.
