This year marks the third edition of this popular race, organised by Port Olímpic together with the Club de Mar Port Olímpic and the Port Sant Carles Marina de la Ràpita
This Thursday, Port Olímpic hosted the start of the Polar, the popular regatta organised in collaboration with the Club de Mar Port Olímpic and the Port Sant Carles Marina de la Ràpita. This year is the third edition of this race, which links Barcelona with La Ràpita and through which Port Olímpic contributes to promoting sailing and making it more open and accessible to the public.
The start of the Polar took place at 2 pm from Port Olímpic. A total of 11 boats are taking part, with around 50 people on board from Marina de Badalona, Reial Club Marítim de Barcelona, Club Nàutic Port d’Aro, as well as from Port Olímpic.
They are expected to sail close to the coast, no more than 12 miles offshore, and arrive this Friday at Port Sant Carles Marina de la Ràpita. In total, they will cover 100 miles. Once in La Ràpita, a prize-giving ceremony will be held for the sailors, who will be welcomed with recreational and sports activities, along with a dinner featuring traditional dishes from the Ebro Delta.
Port Olímpic’s commitment to bringing sailing closer to the public
The Polar is part of a series of actions through which Port Olímpic promotes sailing among the public. In this area, initiatives such as Dijous de vent also stand out, a free activity open to everyone that combines sailing with expert skippers from Port Olímpic and a visit to the Balcó Gastronòmic.
