I. PUIG AND ITS CONNECTION WITH SAILING
Throughout its more than 100 years of history, Puig has
maintained a natural connection with water sports, especially
sailing. The fashion and fragrance company founded in
Barcelona by the Puig family in 1914, identifies with the
intrinsic values of this water sport; and this passion is shared
by everyone – in the company and the family.
In the beginning. As the sponsor of the Copa del Rey from
1984 through 2006, Puig worked hard to make this event one
of the most exciting, elegant and prestigious sailing events
on the international yachting circuit. In the same spirit, one
of the family’s company yachts, Azur de Puig, participated in
the world’s most exclusive regattas for more than 15 years.
Based on this track record, the Copa del Rey success was
extended with the creation of the Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona
regatta, which embodies the connection between Puig and
sailing.
“With the Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona regatta, year after year, Puig
confirms its dedication to the city
and to the world of sailing.
This competition is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate the international impact of Barcelona and our
company through a totally unique
event.”
Marc Puig, Chairman and CEO, Puig
This regatta was created in 2008 out of a desire to revive the
nautical spirit and tradition that has been so much a part of
Barcelona throughout its history. It is an event brimming
with beauty, elegance and tradition, showcasing the great
historic value of the boats that come to compete.

II.PUIG VELA CLÀSSICA BARCELONA – 9TH EDITION
With every edition, the Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona has become
recognized as one of the main regattas on the international
classic sailing calendar. The exclusive atmosphere of the
event and the prestige of the competitors it attracts are only
two of the reasons why year after year more yacht owners
and sailing connoisseurs are becoming unconditional fans of
this event.
More than fifty classic and vintage boats from Spain and
countries such as England, France, the United States,
Germany, the Netherlands and Italy will provide a vast
array of nautical splendor rarely seen in major cities such as
Barcelona.
9th Edition. This year, from July 13 to 16, the Barcelona
Royal Yacht Club will host an event that is difficult to
evaluate in terms of the historical legacy relating to the
boats involved. One-of-a-kind boats more than a hundred
years old, and more recent ones adapted to the pureness and
traditions of artisan shipyards, will gather together.
Some of the ships have interesting stories to tell. Like the
Moonbeam IV, which had the privilege of hosting Grace
Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco during their honeymoon
in 1956; or the Manitou, built in 1937 and converted into
the presidential yacht for US President John F. Kennedy.
Another legendary vessel habitually seen in Barcelona
waters is the Marigold, a classic cutter launched in 1982
and magnificently restored, which was one of Charles
Nicholson’s first designs.
Based on the International Mediterranean Committee (CIM)
Regulations, the regatta is divided into three categories
according to the year in which they were built: Vintage
Boats, Classic Boats, and Big Boats.
“There is nothing more seductive and enslaving than life at sea.”
“The days during which the Puig regatta is held each year occupy a very
important part of our crews’ annual
agenda. Vibrant, thrilling and unique...in the most appropriate setting
imaginable, this city with its unbeatable atmosphere and long nautical
background. It’s a must-attend event
for all lovers of the nautical world.”
Joseph Conrad, writer
Antonio Bellés, captain of the Islander
At the helm of these ships will be a select group of sailors
who, in addition to competing with the same discipline and
determination as they would for any other nautical sport,
will adopt the style and elegance that can only be seen in
this unique event, steeped in history, competitiveness and
excellence.

III. A COMPANY WITH A SPECIAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH BARCELONA
The history of Puig is closely linked to the history of Barcelona.
From the company’s very beginnings to the present day,
Puig and Barcelona have had a shared history and destiny.
They have grown together, each one an inseparable part
of the other’s identity for a century. It is therefore not at
all surprising that the firm has maintained its headquarters
even when it became a major international corporation.
Furthermore, nine years ago, Puig put Barcelona back on
the coveted list of major Mediterranean cities that host
prestigious international sailing competitions.
A bit of history. The first sailing competition organized in
Barcelona was held in 1883, but it was not until 1886 that the
city began to regularly host regattas involving small racing
boats. In 1929, the same year as the Barcelona International
Exhibition, the city hosted the World Mediterranean
Cruise, marking the start of the city’s career as a center for
numerous boat races. It was also during the first third of the
20th century that some of the boats participating in the Puig
Vela Clàssica Barcelona Regatta were launched.
The ninth edition of the Puig Vela Clàssica Barcelona offers
the general public a rare opportunity during any given
year or place in the world to see historically and culturally
significant boats in action, an experience usually reserved
for a privileged few. Once again, Puig will offer the world a
totally unique boat show that will provide an opportunity to
demonstrate its passion for sailing and its high esteem for the
Catalonian capital.
No other city in the world hosts a regatta of classic boats of
this caliber. Only Antigua, Antibes, Newport Rhode Island,
the Isle of Wight and Cannes hold regattas of this kind.
During this period, the city becomes the global epicenter for
this type of sports event. The dates for this event, July 13
to 16, were identified as the most appropriate because the
vast majority of the world’s classic sailing ships are already
enrolled in premier nautical circuits along the Mediterranean
coast.
“People who do not know that a sailboat is a living creature will never
understand anything about boats
and the sea.”
Bernard Moitessier, writer

IV. THE REAL CLUB NÁUTICO DE BARCELONA
With more than 140 years of history, the Real Club Náutico
de Barcelona (RCNB) is a major reference in the world of
Mediterranean sailing. The club is a founding member of
the International Mediterranean Committee (CIM), the
Spanish Yacht Club Association (AECN) and Barcelona
Sports and Culture and is affiliated with such organizations
as the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV), the Catalan
Sailing Federation (FCV), the Real Asociación Nacional de
Cruceros (RANC), the Catalan Jetski Federation (FCM) and
the Asociación de Naveganst Solitaris.
The RNCB has sister yacht clubs in various European
countries and a range of reciprocal membership agreements
with clubs and organizations such as the Yacht Club de
Monaco, the Yacht Club Italiano, the Yacht Club de France
and the Circolo del Remo e della Vela italiano.
“It is one of the most important naval events at the international level;
a unique opportunity for the entire
nautical family to enjoy their ships
in the exceptional environment of
Barcelona’s Mediterranean bay.”
Félix Escalas,
President of the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona
“[...] And he realized that no one
is ever alone at sea.”
Ernest Hemingway, writer
The RCNB has won several prizes honoring its career as a
sports organization. In 1999, it received a Royal Order of
Merit gold plaque from the Spanish government, and in
2003 it was awarded a gold Medal for Sporting Merit from
the Barcelona City Council. It received the Royal Spanish
Sailing Federation’s Golden Anchor Award in 1998, was named the best Best Catalan sporting body by Mundo Deportivo
in 1997, and has been awarded a Golden Sail by the Catalan
Sailing Federation on numerous occasions.

V. SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS
Royal National Cruising Association
International Mediterranean Committee
Spain’s Royal National Cruising Association was established
in 1974 and represents the owners of cruising boats with
regard to the technical aspects of time allowances for regattas.
The scope of its authority includes the entire territory of
Spain. It is the only association of its kind in Spain and, for
many years, it was the keeper and representative in Spain of
the IOR and then the IMS international measurement rules.
The Comité Internacional del Mediterráneo (CIM) was
founded in 1926 by three legendary yacht clubs: the Yacht
Club de France, the Yacht Club Italiano and the Real Club
Náutico de Barcelona.
www.ranc.es
The CIM currently includes classic yacht owners’ associations
– AIVE (Italy), AFYT (France), RANC (Spain) and AMBC
(Monaco) – and various national sailing federations. Together
they constitute the executive and technical committees.
The CIM’s priority is to implement the means to uphold the
maritime heritage and thus ensure the continuation of both
Classic and Vintage yacht racing.
http://www.cim-classicyachts.org/
Royal Spanish Sailing Federation

VI. A LIVELY, EXCEPTIONAL VILLAGE: A
WORLD CLASS SPORTING, CULTURAL, AND
SOCIAL EVENT
July 13 to 16, all the social life revolves around the Village,
a leisure spot in the heart of the Real Club Náutico de
Barcelona. There will be mid-morning pre-race meetings,
seafood lunches, post-regatta refreshments, and cocktail
receptions as the sun slips below the horizon every afternoon.
“When socializing, everyone enjoys
each other’s company.”
Charles Baudelaire, poet
The Village is an exceptional place to meet and relax just a few
strides from the sea where the regatta’s opening ceremony,
awards ceremonies and closing festivities will all be held. This
is where the ships’ crews and owners – with local authorities
and representatives from national and international society
– enjoy a laid-back atmosphere.
Music by The Tutsies will bring these few days of sports and
leisure to an end.
Major sponsors such as Nespresso, Coca-Cola, Estrella
Damm, Gramona or ISDIN will gather this year in the Village
each day during the regatta to mingle with the participants.
“The Village is the perfect place to
relax and get to know the crew members from other boats at the end of
each day during the regatta. We live
and breathe sailing here; we don’t
feel like rivals, but more like colleagues who share the same passion for
sailing and are together enjoying the
view of the sea in the heat of such an
exhilarating city as Barcelona.”
Andrés de León, owner of the Yanira
“We are very proud to be able to participate each and every year in this
special regatta. This large fleet of
majestic ships, excellent organization and a grand finale party... creates a rather unique bond.”
Luis Martínez Doreste,
sailor and singer for The Tutsies

VII.THE LEGENDS THAT ADD SPARKLE TO
THE REGATTA
Manitou
Class: Vintage; year built: 1937; designer: Olin Stephens;
owner: Manitou 1936 INC; club: Newport Yacht Club
Manitou was commissioned in 1936 by James Lowe, designed
by Olin Stephens and built by Davis & Sons in 1937. She was
originally designed to sail on the Great Lakes and won the
Chicago Mackinac Race in 1938, 1940 and 1941. In 1952
she was donated to the United States Coast Guard Academy
where she was used as a training vessel to teach the cadets
seamanship and working together as a crew. It was then that
the vessel came to the attention of John F. Kennedy, who
chose her for Presidential use. The US President spent so
much time on board Manitou that she earned the nickname
“The Floating White House”. Afterwards the vessel passed
into private ownership and was kept on the East coast for the
past 40 years, where until recently she was the key exhibit of
the National Sailing Hall of Fame in Annapolis. Her current
owners have put her through an extensive refit and upgrade
in preparation for competitive racing.
Moonbeam IV
Class: Vintage; rig: Gaff Cutter; sail number: 8; designer:
William Fife; year built: 1920; builder: Fife & Sons; owner:
Clyde Marine; club: YC Monaco
Moonbeam IV is one of the few classic gaff cutters still sailing
today. Designed by the renowned William Fife III and built at
the Fife & Sons yard in Scotland, she was commissioned by
the lawyer Charles Plumptre Johnson. Construction started
in 1914 but because of World War I she was not launched until
1929. Moonbeam IV is considered one of the most beautiful
yachts in the world, not only externally but also for her
luxurious details, including polished Palo Santo hardwood
flooring/paneling, Persian rugs, antique lamps and leather
upholstery. In 1926 she was sold to Henry Sutton. The new
owner raced her for a decade and after World War II she
competed in the Mediterranean. In 1950, Prince Rainier of
IX EDITION | 13 TO 16 JULY, 2016
Monaco bought the vessel and named her Deo Juvante, the
motto of the Grimaldi family. The Prince and his bride Grace
Kelly spent their honeymoon on board. In 1960 the yacht
was sold to Hannibal Scott, who used her for charters in the
Mediterranean, but she gradually deteriorated. In 1995, her
current owners found her in Greece and decided to restore
her. In the winter of 2005 she was taken to Tunisia for refit
and has been competing in the Mediterranean since 2006.
She is currently based on the French Riviera and is one of
the few survivors of the golden age of sailing.
Mariette
Class: Vintage; rig: Twin-masted Schooner; sail number:
8; designer: N. G. Herreshoff; year built: 1915; builder:
Herreshoff; owner: Clyde Marine; club: Royal Cornwall
YC
Mariette is one of the last large schooners designed by N. G.
Herreshoff and was built in 1915 by a Boston businessman.
Among her many adventures, she was requisitioned by
the US Coast Guards during World War II to serve on the
West coast. After the War, she was converted to a staysail
schooner and transported to the Caribbean where she was
probably one of the first classic yachts to be chartered. In
the 1970s she was acquired by a Swiss banking syndicate
and crossed the Atlantic to make her first appearance in the
Mediterranean. She underwent refits in 1980, 1995 and
2010. In 1995, she was given her original gaff topsail rig,
restoring the yacht to her former glory. Mariette competes
in classic regattas worldwide. She recently established her
base in Falmouth for winter lay-up ahead of the hectic
Mediterranean regatta season.

Kelpie
Islander
Class: Vintage; rig: Gaff Cutter; sail number: 2; designer:
Alfred Mylne; year launched: 1903; builder: JG Fay & Co.;
owner: Pelham Olive; club: RAF
Class: Vintage; rig: Ketch Marconi; year built: 1937; builder:
G.L. Watson & Company (Scotland); owner: R. Albiñana;
club: RCN Barcelona
Built by JG Fay & Co of Southampton in 1903, Kelpie was
designed by Alfred Mylne as a Solent 38-foot class to race
with the 42-foot Linear Raters. The story goes that the
owners who commissioned the new class decided to do so
with a dinner honoring the passing of Queen Victoria. In
1922, Kelpie was involved in Erskine Childers plot to run guns
into Ireland to use against the Irish Free State government.
Kelpie survived World War II with her keel intact. After a
string of South Coast owners she returned to the Dartmouth
Yard of Nash & Holden where she benefited from 15 years
of careful renewal and thorough maintenance ensuring her
survival and current condition. Kelpie is one of the most
impressive yachts of her era still sailing. In full sail she is an
impressive sight and is fast and manageable.
Islander was built from Burmese teak left to dry naturally
in the open air for eight years before building started. Her
owner, Tom Blackwell, a former captain of the merchant
navy, was a solitary character with few friends, who rarely
spoke of his past or family and never invited anyone
aboard. With Blackwell at the helm, Islander achieved a solo
circumnavigation record. Blackwell would circumnavigate
the globe twice and after three years return to Durban
(South Africa) to repair, paint and prepare the boat for the
next voyage. On his third attempt, Blackwell was obliged to
dock at Durban due to her ill health. He had to sell Islander
because he did not want his family to inherit her and the
sale was negotiated on deck for $35,000. Her new owner,
the Durban lawyer John P. Mathews, took Islander to New
England for an extensive refit. In 1981, Luís Garí found
her covered in dust and half abandoned in the Carabela
boatyard in the Poblenou district of Barcelona. In January
1989, Islander was bought by her current owner and is now
moored at the RCN Barcelona.
Eilean
Class: Vintage; sail number: 449; designer: William Fife III;
year launched:1936; club: Yacht Club Savoia
Eilean was built in 1936 at the Fife boatyard in Fairlie, to a
design by the octogenarian William Fife III. The boat’s first
owners were the brothers James V. and Robert W. Fulton of
Greenock, who were members of the Royal Gourock Yacht
Club in the 1970s. Eilean was acquired by John Shearer, an
architect who transformed her into one of the most popular
charter yachts in the Caribbean, berthed at English Harbor
in Antigua. John Shearer made 14 Atlantic crossings with
Eilean between the Caribbean and Europe, many of them
single-handed. Eilean began a new life in 2006 when her
current owner, Angelo Bonati, spotted her in English Harbor
in Antigua and bought her.
IX EDITION | 13 TO 16 JULY, 2016
Hallowe’en
Class: Vintage; rig: Cutter Marconi; sail number: 2; designer:
William Fife & Son (Fairlie, Scotland); year launched:
1926; club: Royal Irish YC
Hallowe’en is a Marconi rig cutter built to the 15-meter rule,
which in the year she was launched won the Fastnet race,
setting a record which stands to this day for the original
course. She raced in the Mediterranean and later, with a new
Norwegian owner, the Atlantic, under the name Magda XII.
Prince Olaf, the future King of Norway, was a regular guest
on Hallowe’en. During the 1940s and 50s, under the name
Cotton Blossom IV, she raced in America, winning numerous
regattas. In the 1980s, she was donated to the Classic Boat
Museum in Newport, Rhode Island where, thanks to the
generosity of a private individual, she underwent a refit.
Hallowe’en started life as a Marconi rig, was subsequently
converted to a gaff rig, and in 1993, when undergoing a
9
refit in Barcelona was restored to her original Marconi
rig configuration. In 1999 she was sold to a Dutch owner.
Her designer William Fife III described her as “the perfect
gentleman’s yacht... a jewel”.
Malabar X
Class: Vintage; rig: Gaff-rigged Schooner; sail number: 10;
designer: John G. Alden; year launched: 1930; club: RCN
Barcelona
Malabar X, the tenth in a series of schooners designed by
the renowned American naval architect John Gale Alden
for his personal use, is one of the most important vessels
in the history of yacht design. She was the last of Alden’s
personal schooners and the most successful of the boats
he designed for himself, marking the peak of the naval
architect’s career. In 1930, Malabar X won the Bermuda Race
in her class, and in 1932 won it again with her designer at
the helm. In 1991 she fell victim to Hurricane Bob, when she
was dashed against the mooring, causing serious damage.
Shortly after she was purchased for $35,000, according to
Lloyd’s Register, and was totally rebuilt in close cooperation
with Alden Design Corporation, and the original parts of the
boat are easily recognizable. Malabar X is now registered in
Barcelona and cruises gracefully around the Mediterranean
flying the Spanish flag.
IX EDITION | 13 TO 16 JULY, 2016
Vanity V
Sail number: K5; designer: W. & R. B. Fife; year launched:
1936; builder: W. Fife & Sons
Vanity V was designed in 1936 by the naval architect William
Fife III when he was 79 years old. Her first owner was J.
R. Payne, one of the best helmsmen of his day who was
also an accomplished violinist. Payne disliked the interior
design because it had several fully fitted cabins for cruising,
whereas he wanted a yacht to compete in 12-meter races.
From 1947 to 1960 she belonged to Sir Hartley Shawcross,
the Attorney General for England and Wales, who berthed
her at Falmouth in Cornwall and installed a new engine.
In 1961, she was sold to Captain Michael P.R. Boyle. From
1965 to 1996 she was kept in France with a new name,
La Pinta and took part in regattas like La Nioulargue, now
known as Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. Robert Daral and JeanPaul Guillet bought the vessel in 1997 and gave her back
her original name. The yacht was totally rebuilt closer to
the original design. She has changed hands several times
since 2001. Her latest achievement was winning the 2007
America’s Cup in the 12-meter class.

APPENDIX I: THE CLASSICS OF THE CLASSICS
by Leonardo García de Vincentiis
When the classic ships get together for the Puig Vela Clàssica
Barcelona regatta, there’s not the slightest doubt that what
dominates the stage is the visual feast, the breathtaking
panorama this fleet offers when moored at the docks of the
Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, parading in front of the
public at the Dársena de la Fusta, or with all sails unfurled
in a crazy regatta display for the Barcelona beachcombers.
Onlookers’ eyes revel in the rich colors of the varnished
wood, shining brass or chrome... and the keenest admire the
gear that has fallen by the wayside, unused, the absence of
reels, or electric winches when there are no winches “at all”.
There are boats which are still active today yet were
christened before any planes, cars or trucks even existed. They
appeared when high society people of the times rode around
in horse-drawn carriages and were just getting acquainted
with electricity... Boats that have sailed throughout history
and we have known ever since are still successfully racing
and thrilling their sailors, whereas their contemporaries
in terms of fishing, cargo and war ships are just memories
now, or lie silent in museums, in the best cases... That’s what
makes these ships different from all the others, even for the
spectators who admire them from the shore.
Today, executing traditional maneuvers as simple as folding
a genoa at the bow of a boat while sailing seem to be things
of the past. Let alone hoisting a gaff sail! And participation
in these meetings is constantly increasing, along with many
owners’ enthusiasm to go all out and make their boats,
whether big or small, shine on their own.
Classic boats have a heritage value that their owners have
only just recently started to discover. The value of preserving
the history of a bygone era which somehow comes to life
before our very eyes thanks to their presence.
So what makes classic yachts so appealing? By definition
they are antiques. One could compare them to classic cars,
which also have their fans and competitions. But at the same
time, there’s a big difference between antique cars and boats:
No one today would think of using a fifty-year-old car on
a daily basis. Much less ones from the 1920s and 1930s…
yet, the boats from this era and even earlier, sail on a daily
basis, and not just for shows and regattas, but also for their
owners’ pleasure cruises off to distant islands, just like any
modern boat.
IX EDITION | 13 TO 16 JULY, 2016

spokesman for the Asociación Española de Barcos de Época
y Classics (AEBEC)
and of the Real Asociación Nacional de Cruceros (RANC)

ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER IN ASSESSING A CLASSIC BOAT AND ITS RESTORATION:
1. Almost all period ships belong to the “bronze era”,
meaning that the deck fittings are of this material, naturally or, more recently, plated. From the mid-1950s,
stainless steel started to take over.
2. Similarly, in terms of the knots the trend is toward
ultra modern materials such as mylar or kevlar, that
don’t fit at all with rigs which are eminently elastic.
3. Few boats still use cotton sails, but the feel and “smell” offer a very unique experience that distinguishes
the classics.
4. On the deck of an old boat, the central and lateral
floor boards always have angular joints as opposed to
rounded ones. Rounding corners is a modern custom.
5. Generally, in the biggest and oldest period ships (pre1930s), the boons are hung from the top timbers.
Whereas in more modern ships, the boon is a smooth
fender.

APPENDIX II: CLASSIFICATIONS
VINTAGE YACHTS
These are boats built from wood or metal in accordance with
original plans and launched before 31 December 1949.
They are divided into three classes by type of sails and rigging:

CLASS A: vintage boats with gaff-rigged sails also
known as gaffs.
•
CLASS B: vintage boats with Marconi (Bermudan)
sails and ketch, yawl, or schooner rigging.
•
CLASS C: vintage boats with Marconi sails and sloop
or cutter rigging.
CLASSIC YACHTS
These are boats made from wood or metal in accordance
with original plans and launched before 31 December 1975.
Boats built as part of a series will not be accepted in this class.
They are divided into two classes by type of sails and rigging:
•
CLASS B: Classic boats with Marconi (Bermudan) sails and ketch, yawl, or schooner rigging.
•
CLASS C: Classic boats with Marconi sails and sloop
or cutter rigging.
BIG BOATS
These are vintage or classic boats measuring 25 meters or
more.
A minimum of three boats must enter to form a group.
IX EDITION | 13 TO 16 JULY, 2016
TYPES OF VESSELS
Sloop: a single-masted vessel normally
rigged fore and aft with mainsail and jib.
This boat, used by navies, was a small, fast
sailing boat that carried military orders
from one boat to another.
Cutter: a vessel with a single mast located
some one-thirds of the way from the
transom with a sail plan of mainsail and
two jibs.
Yawl: A double-masted vessel with either
Bermuda or gaff-rigged sails. The main
mast is placed in the middle of the vessel
and the mizzenmast, which was very small,
at the stern, behind the rudder wheel.
Ketch: A double-masted vessel with
either Bermuda/Marconi (triangular) or
gaff-rigged (trapezoidal) sails. The main
mast is placed on the back third of the boat
and the mizzenmast is located at the stern,
behind the ship’s wheel.
Goleta or Schooner: a sailing boat with
two or more masts rigged with different
types of sails. The mainmast is located at
the stern, behind the ship’s wheel and it
is bigger than the foremast, positioned at
the bow, in the front third of the ship.
The two masts may also be the same
height, but the one in the stern always takes the mainsail
and the one in the bow, the foresail. The sails originally
hoisted on this type of ship were gaff-rigged, also known as
Gaff sails, although many crews preferred Bermuda rig sails.
13
TYPES OF SAILS AND THEIR SHAPES:
Gaff-rigged or gaff:
(generally the mainsail).
trapezoidal
sail
Bermuda or Marconi: triangular sail.
Mizzen: “driver” sail or stern mast on a
yawl or ketch.
Jib: generic name for all cutter and
triangular sails that are joined together or in
a stay on the foremast, which is to say that
they extend from the head of the foremast
to the jib boom or bowsprit.
