The Marina Real Juan Carlos in Valencia is buzzing with activity as the 9-strong fleet of multihulls is preparing for the inaugural Route des Princes. All participating boats are now in Valencia and will occupy their mooring positions along the channel in front of the Veles e Vents building, giving the public a unique opportunity to be as close as possible to these racing machines.
The schedule calls for a media day on Thursday, following by two days of inshore racing, right in front of the Malvarosa beach and the start of the first leg to Lisbon on Sunday afternoon. Stay tuned right here for much more updates throughout the week.
