44 Cup Alcaidesa Marina

New to the circuit for 2023 will be the 44 Cup Alcaidesa Marina in Spain. This will be held out of Puerto Alcaidesa Marina in La Línea de la Concepción, right next to the border with Gibraltar where it will be hosted by John Bassadone’s Peninsula Racing team. If the events Bassadone has generously supported in the past out of nearby Sotogrande had Gibraltar in the background, this time the famous 426m tall Rock, that marks the entrance to the Mediterranean, will be towering over the fleet as it races on the neighbouring Bay of Gibraltar. 

“I am honoured to welcome the 44 Cup to our home waters – the Bay of Gibraltar,” says Bassadone. “Having grown up here, I am proud to be able to showcase everything we have to offer from the hospitality to the sailing experience. The Gibraltarian and Andalucian way of life is uniquely ours. It knows no bounds and there are so many exciting things to experience. From prehistoric caves to world famous golf courses and everything in-between, you will be left wanting for nothing.

“I am certain this leg of the Championship will produce some very exciting races and nail biting sailing. The backdrop of the Rock of Gibraltar and the Atlas Mountains in North Africa are known as the Pillars of Hercules and what a fitting setting for the 44 Cup Championship.”

Whether you're in Gibraltar or following from the comfort of your own home, here is your guide to how to watch the racing.
