Palma de Mallorca, August 18, 2011
On a day that promised great sailing conditions, everything was ready for the regatta, the boats, crews, the sea. Everything except the wind. This second day of competition the wind did not appear and the boats were becalmed in the waters of the Bay. A long day has ended well after 18:00 pm, with a very high temperature, perhaps the hottest day of the month, in which the buoy Cala Blava has been quite a feat.
This second race began with the promise of a good wind that appeared by 15:30, but died out at until about 17 hours. This loss of a day's racing in the regatta puts a spanner in the works for the organisers.
The spectacle of the XXVVII Trofeo Almirante Conde de Barcelona is not only the yacht racing on hte Bay of Palm but also see the spectacle of so many classic yachts docked at the Pier promenade and the Swallows.
Once such stunner is the 29.09 metre Moonbeam IV, a classic gaff cutter designed by the famous William Fife III and built between 1914-1920 in a Scottish shipyard. In 1950, Prince Rainier of Monaco purchased the yacht and re-christened her with the family motto Deo Juvante (with God's aid). She hosted the Sovereign and Grace Kelly on their extended honeymoon around the Mediterranean.
