He Royal Regatta Club of Alicante is preparing to live two very intense weekends with the celebration of the 58th Alicante Nautical Week of Optimist and dinghy sailing. On November 30 and December 1 it will be the turn for children’s sailing and the Optimist, and on December 6, 7 and 8 for dinghy sailing with the participation of the ILCA, Europe and 420 classes.
In this first weekend of November 30 and December 1, about 200 Optimists arrived from different points of the peninsula such as Andalusia, Comunitat Valenciana, Madrid and Region of Murcia. The regatta is a Level 1 Autonomous Cup.
The venue for the event will be ‘La Cantera’, a place designated for the sailing school and dinghy sailing and where the fleet will be divided into two groups, Optimist A (92 registered) and Optimist B (83 registered). The tests will begin at 12 noon and a maximum of six races will be held distributed between the two days of competition, with no more than four races being able to be sailed on the same day. The trophy presentation is scheduled for Sunday, December 1 at 5 p.m.

The RCRA bets on dinghy sailing
The Real Club de Regatas de Alicante is very aware of dinghy sailing. Already in 2024, the first edition of the Equalite and the Spanish Optimist Championship were organized, in addition to hosting the Comunitat Valencia Olympic Week, a competition organized by the Sailing Federation of the Valencian Community and in which this year the Real Club de Regatas will have the 420, 470, ILCA 4 and WingFoil classes.
“We are developing sporting milestones where we want participation to be large, for the event to have quality and above all to be a reference at the national level and a base for teams that choose the Real Club de Regatas for their preparations,” the club explains.
