TAG Heuer VELA Cup Mariperman Trophy. Four days of fun at sea and culture on land

From September 8 to 11, the Gulf of Poets will become the scene of three different race courses where boats without tonnage certificates from our TAG Heuer VELA Cup, ORC-certified boats, vintage sails, lateen sails, J24 and Meteor monotypes.
