The new ship of the Navy in which the King will sail is already training in Palma to participate in the King's Cup Mapfre sailing

The article discusses the upcoming Copa del Rey Mapfre sailing race in Palma, highlighting the participation of King Felipe VI aboard a new naval vessel acquired by the Spanish Navy. This marks a significant moment as the ship, named 'Hispania,' represents the navy's investment in competitive sailing and training for cadets. The race features 101 boats from 19 countries, including top international sailors and past champions. While the Hispania is considered a strong contender, it faces tough competition from other high-performing vessels. The king has been eagerly anticipating this opportunity, though his recent absence from training due to Spain's political tensions surrounding the Ceuta crisis has raised some uncertainty.
