“This is our most emblematic regatta. A classic that represents our club both nationally and internationally. Both the Board of Directors and all the teams are working hard to meet the level of technical demand in the water and also in the social sphere to enjoy the regatta on land, which we consider to be a very important part as well”, values ​​the president of the RCNV, Marisa Arlandis.

“We expect almost 1,500 sailors and we enjoy working to meet the expectations of all of them. Every year we are improving. It is a classic in the annual calendar of national regattas and has become an essential event. The level of competition will be very high. On the other hand, we hope that Her Majesty The Queen will visit us and hand over the trophies herself. It would be a great honor to have her among us”, says Arlandis, who underlines that on a personal level “I will enjoy it on an institutional and social level, but also on a sporting level, since I will be in the water”.

For his part, Rafel Chirivella, director of the regatta, values ​​that all editions of the SM La Reina Trophy “always have something special. This year 2022 it should be noted that we close the cycle of the Magallanes and Elcano Round the World, which has been carried out by the Navy and as is known our regatta is a tribute to the Navy in addition to the SM La Reina Trophy. We have been participating in this centenary by promoting a lot and we believe that this closure is going to be very important. In addition, we wanted to do it in a big way, putting up two regatta fields, classes such as the Swan have been incorporated, which this year will do the World Cup in Valencia after the Queen. It's going to be a great regatta."

The XXIII SM La Reina Trophy - XXXIV Sánchez-Barcaiztegui Marcial Cup will be the prelude to a new round of the Swan One Design World Cup and Nations League, of which the Real Club Náutico de Valencia will host in 2022, with the regattas being held between the 5th and the July 9th.
