PRE-RACE IN VILANOVA I LA GELTRÚ

In September 2023, ACE Barcelona, the organiser of the America’s Cup, will host a pre-race in Vilanova i la Geltrú, situated less than 50 km from Barcelona. This thrilling four-day event marks the first competition where all six participating teams will compete in a preliminary competition.

america’s cup experience

Local and international organisers are collaborating to create an immersive space known as the America’s Cup Experience, designed to enhance your enjoyment throughout the entire sporting event. This dedicated area will offer a wealth of information, including historical data about the teams, sailing innovations, and maritime science. One of its highlights is a large 600-square-metre screen where you can watch the exhilarating competitions unfold. Additionally, there will be a designated area for children and a virtual simulation space, allowing you to experience the regattas in a whole new way. The America’s Cup Experience is set to be located in the IMAX building, conveniently situated just an 8-minute drive away from Lugaris Beach.

BARCELONA WORLD RACE

The Barcelona World Race is a distinctive regatta that stands out as the only round-the-world race with two crew members on each boat. Starting and concluding at the port of Barcelona, this event captures the attention of sailing enthusiasts. Organised by the Barcelona Ocean Sailing Foundation (FNOB), the race traditionally takes place annually between January and April. Although the previous edition was unfortunately cancelled due to funding challenges, there are no barriers preventing the tradition from resuming for the upcoming 2024 season.

PRELIMINARY TESTS

Before the 37th edition of the America’s Cup, various preliminary tests will take place. The most exciting ones will be the final preliminary test, the Challenger Selection Series, and other events that will take place in late 2023 and early 2024, yet to be determined. The organisation estimates that there will be three more.

TEAMS’ BASES

Spectators will have the opportunity to observe the construction of the teams’ bases, which is scheduled to commence in April 2023. It is expected that by the summer of the same year, the bases will be fully completed, allowing the teams to settle in and prepare for the initial races. Starting in September, the teams will shift their focus towards intensive training sessions, and reviewing logistics and technical aspects to ensure a seamless and flawless competition. This period marks a crucial phase in their preparation as they fine-tune their strategies and gear up for the thrilling races ahead.

FEMALE AND YOUTH AMERICA’S CUP

One of the major events of this year is the historic women’s sailing regatta, something that has never been done before in a staggering 171 years. A championship for young sailing talents will also take place. Both events will be held at Port Olímpic, which is undergoing renovations to provide the necessary facilities to accommodate the participating teams in these events. The Youth America’s Cup will take place on September 19, 2024, while the Female America’s Cup will begin on October 3.

SOLO MED RACE

The Solo Med Race is a solo race that takes place in the Mediterranean Sea. It debuted in 2022 and is scheduled to return in future editions, as this year’s race will be held on May 7. The organisers of this event are the Club Nàutic de Sa Ràpita (Mallorca), the FNOB, and Base Mini Barcelona.

COPA NADAL PORT DE BARCELONA

Only the bravest dare to participate in this enduring tradition, where even the harshness of winter is not a deterrent. It entails a plunge into the waters of the port of Barcelona, but with a twist—it takes place in the middle of December when temperatures are far from what we are accustomed to!
