As a coach I love to bring people together. For the second time, and the first time after the Covid pandemic, I have the privilege to invite you to join me at the Ibiza Gold Cup.
During this ‘belated’ 6th edition, prestigious yachts will race bay to bay and sail the waters of magical Ibiza and Formentera. Every day another surprising hidden venue. Sports and teamwork combined with the most idyllic regatta conditions of the Mediterranean.
Our Yacht
Come aboard of Vixen II, a 78-foot schooner. The 78-foot Edwardian classic sailing ship was built in 1915 and was once the darling of the Newport Sailing Association. It has hosted American royal families such as Kennedy and Morgan. It carries an infinite glory and a respectable history.
The Vixen II, designed by the famous naval architect Nathanael Herreshoff, has a deck length of 65 feet and a waterline length of about 40 feet. A member of the New York Yacht Club and a pioneer of some of the yacht club America's Cup competitors. When the fascinating ancient sailing ship first sailed, it defeated the 1915 New York 40 One-design series, and this victory became the first victory in a series of battles. Over the years, she has participated in a variety of venue competitions, including the Famous Foxy's Wooden Boat and the Boston Harbor Museum Regatta.
From 1999 to 2000, the Vixen II was completely remodeled and the interior was redesigned to maximize the comfort of your stay. The sail area is divided into two masts, and the increase in the size of the sail makes her faster and easier to manage. In recent years, she won the championship in the 2000 Caribbean Sweetheart Race in Tortola and the Classic Regatta in 2002. She proved that she is still the fastest.

VENUE
Ibiza is a Mediterranean Spanish island near the east coast of Spain, 150 km from Valencia. Valencia is the third largest city in Spain, and its old town still retains its antique style.
Ibiza is one of the main islands of the Spanish archipelago known as the Balearic Islands. It is one of the most popular international tourist attractions and is known for its party culture, natural beauty, beautiful old town and sandy beaches. It is known as the White Island for its iconic architecture.
However, even on this famous island, when swimming in a hidden beach, living in a wonderful hotel surrounded by fruit trees or strolling through the secluded landscape, people will still be pleasantly surprised. Ibiza is friendly and warm to all visitors, an open and generous island where you will experience smiles, light, ancient traditions and history. The country and cultural heritage is a more attractive attraction on this land, and the combination of the island's natural beauty makes it a unique place.
