The Real Club de Regatas de Santiago de la Ribera presented the eighth edition of the Trofeo Centenario on Tuesday, ahead of racing on the Mar Menor on 24 and 25 October.
The event will bring together the Optimist, ILCA 4, ILCA 6 and Snipe classes, with sailors from clubs in the Region of Murcia and other Spanish regions.
The ILCA 4 and ILCA 6 races will count as qualifiers for the Murcia regional championship, one of the sporting features highlighted for this edition.
