Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Fran Palacio, world champion in J/80, ISB20, and European champion in J/70, describes the Sardinia Cup 2026 held in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, from May 31 to June 7 — the race's return to the international calendar after a 14-year absence.▶ 3:00 Palacio crewed aboard the Garm, a Class 2 boat skippered by Per Roman and directed tactically by Gustavo Martínez d'Oreste; the Swedish team won Class 2 overall.▶ 4:49 The Sardinia Cup uses time compensation rules across a mixed fleet, not one-design boats, and scores by combined team results across two age classes — the older class and a younger class — requiring crews to manage their rivals' standings as well as their own.▶ 10:58 Palacio explains that regularity and knowing when to race conservatively matter more than winning individual races.▶ 10:40 He notes the Sardinia Cup now alternates annually with the Admiral's Cup, which returns to England next year, and that both events are regaining top-tier status on the offshore racing calendar.▶ 5:54 The episode also covers the Isastur-Universidad de Oviedo regatta in the Bay of San Lorenzo, Gijón, in its 28th edition, a charter and training operation by Náutica Puerto Gris based in Santander, a review of Pierre Mathiot's book *Cartas a un joven navegante*, and a historical profile of Spanish admiral Juan de Langara.▶ 3:59
