From April 30th to May 3rd 2015 the Gaastra PalmaVela Regatta raced out of the Bay of Palma, this year with a fleet of 140 boats from 16 nationalities.

The 16 participating classes had to wait until the very last day to confirm the first champions of the Mediterranean regatta season.

Axel Rodger from Elvstrøm Sails Spain reports;

“The X 35 Fyord  and the GS 46 Grupo Clinico Dr. Luis senis  won  each one on their Class.  Both of them with a complete set of Elvstrøm sails and both optimized by Elvstrøm Sails members. The X 35 Fyord won with an impressive result of four first places out of four races in Orc1 beating in that way the local and favorite X 37 Airlan Aermec . José Luis Maldonado, the owner and all his team were impressed with the good shape, that he said gave a plus on speed of their new Elvstrøm sails C1.

The Grand Soleil 46 Grupo Clinico Dr. Luis senis  won 4 out of 6 races thus winning in IRC. Luis senis, the owner of the GS 46 was pleased with the triumph result of the team work and having a close cooperation with Elvstrøm sails members to have the boat always well optimized for any handicap in which they are sailing.
