The Queen, Doña Letizia and Infanta Leonor did not want to lose the first day of regata of 25º edition of the Copa del Rey de Vela, that followed with attention from the yacht "Fortuna". Infanta Leonor, dressed for this occasion in suit sailor, red and black to rays, did not want to lose nor a one detail of the competition. But it is not the first time that the small one, fan number one of her father and grandfather, attends like a spectator, since to her age, enough furrowing to the seas next to her grandmother and her mother in the Regata Breitling. Doña Sofía most of her time passes in the island enjoying the company of her daughter-in-law and her granddaughter with whom she goes like “a girl”.
Unlike the last summer, where we missed the presence of the Princes of Asturias in Palma de Mallorca, this year they have appeared in multiple occasions accompanied by their daughter Leonor, to whom, according to her mummy's commentaries: “Palm is seating very well”. From her arrival to the island the smallest one of the Royal Family has sailed with her grandmother and mother, visited the “Aifos”, of the boats where Don Felipe sails, and has taken a walk next to her parents by the streets of the city.

The regata of the Copa del Rey de Vela turns 25 years
From this Monday to the next Sunday 120 boats will participate in XXV edition of Copa del Rey de Vela that takes place every year in the Bay of Palm. During these 25 years of competition the best boats of the world have met in these waters.
In this first day of regata Don Felipe he raised on board of the “CAM”, although he had made a long trip from Peru, where attended the taking of possession of the new president, Alan Garci'a. This year the Prince will sail every day, unlike the previous edition where he was the great absentee. The King, on the other hand, competes on board "Bribon", like every year, and is one of the great favorites.
Infant Cristina, who is also very found of the sport of the candle, has still not registered to the competition. The sailboat who habitually has patroneado, the “Azur de Puig”, will not participate this year in the regata, but this does not discard that she can leave to sail in another boat like a guest.
