Trofeo de la Reina
July 5th to 7th, 2019 – Valencia (SPA)

Created in 1988 with the name of Trofeo Almirante Marcial Sánchez-Barcáiztegu, at the end of 1998, the Board of the Club and the Spanish Navy asked Her Majesty The Queen of Spain for authorization to join the name of the Trophy, who accepted the request in December 1998. Therefore, in 1999, the race was renamed: TROFEO DE SM LA REINA - COPA ALMIRANTE MARCIAL SÁNCHEZ-BARCÁIZTEGUI - HOMENAJE A LA ARMADA ESPAÑOLA.

The 2019 one was the 21th edition of the regatta and over a total of 46 attending yachts, there were 8 Swan One Design boats attending the race in Division ORC 1:
ClubSwan 50 ONEGROUP
ClubSwan 50 AIFOS 500
ClubSwan 42 PEZ DE ABRIL
ClubSwan 42 DRALION
Swan 45 RATS ON FIRE

The CS50 Aifos 500 was helmed by the Spanish Navy and its participation was part of the celebrations for the 500th worldwide circumnavigation by Elcano and Magellan.
Swan 45 Rats on Fire was awarded with the ClubSwan Award for the best-placed Swan. In fact, Rafael Carbonell's Swan 45, of the CN Arenys de Mar, has signed an impeccable performance in ORC 0-1, with three first places, a second and a third, proclaiming the win nine points ahead of second-place ClubSwan 42 Dralion.
