AIWritten with AI assistance from the sources cited and reviewed by our editors. How we work The twelfth edition of the Trofeo Cantabria Labs Dénia-Xàbia, initially scheduled for 3 and 4 October, will not take place on the planned dates. The organisers of the sailing event decided to postpone it due to forecasts of a storm affecting the area during that weekend.
The suspension was decided for safety reasons: the province of Valencia was under a red alert warning, whilst a yellow alert was in place in the Dénia area. These circumstances led organisers to rule out vessels setting sail under the planned conditions.
The competition was to bring together crews from different parts of the country. Some of the vessels were scheduled to sail from Valencia to the starting point, whilst most of the participating teams were to travel by road from Madrid and other localities on the peninsula.
New date pending
As yet no date has been set for when the regatta will finally take place, although the organisers have indicated they are working to fix a new date when the fleet can gather in the bays of Dénia and Xàbia. That date will be announced later.
The event retains its charitable purpose, with proceeds going to the Aladina Foundation. The Trofeo organisers have expressed their thanks to crews, sponsors and collaborators for their understanding, and have apologised for any inconvenience the postponement may have caused.
