OLYMPIC CLASS

More than 40 US sailors will take to the water in Palma de Mallorca, including Olympians, time-tested pairings, and some new debuts from US teams and athletes for the 55th Trofeo Princesa Sofìa Regatta.  

The regatta, which marks the official European season opener with all 10 Olympic classes in attendance, runs March 30 through April 4 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.  

“The Princess Sofia regatta is always a great kickoff event for the spring season in Europe,” said Molly Vandemoer, Director of Olympic Sailing. “It is an important stop for our athletes, as the first chance for them to qualify for a higher Performance Pathway tier, which determines their funding and team status. And with so many US athletes all in one place, it’s a great chance for the US Sailing staff to get facetime with sailors and coaches before the 2026 season really kicks off.”
