The Iberdrola League Consolidates its Role as a Platform to Promote Women’s Sailing

The day in Palma began with five round robin matches between the eleven participating teams, which served to define the six classified for the Medal Series. For the first time in the competition, three decisive races were held instead of a single final assault, which increased the excitement and equality.

The Balearia del RCN Palma reached the Medal Series as a clear leader, followed by the Solgreen del RCN Valencia and the CN Arenal, together with the team from CN Vilanova, the RCN Gran Canaria, and the RCMA-RSC. With a fourth place and two seconds in the Medal Races, the Balearic team maintained the lead and took the champion trophy in the Iberdrola League of Palma.

The Podium: RCN Palma, RCN Valencia, and CN Arenal

The Solgreen of Elena de Tomás, representing the RCN Valencia and the CN Arenal, won the silver medal and continues as one of the favorites in the general classification of the 2025 Iberdrola League. In third position, the CN Arenal finished, with the 420 women’s world champions, Neus Fernández and Martina Gomila, who climbed two positions in the table.

A Benchmark Event in the Bay of Palma

The Real Club Náutico de Palma, host for the first time of the competition, organized a high-level event thanks to its experience in the Women’s Cup of the Copa del Rey MAPFRE. The regattas were held aboard the Blue Sail 24 monotypes, with crews of five sailors, guaranteeing equality and spectacle in the bay.
