Especially at this time in the regatta in preparation for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo will feature the top crews (according to the organizers, only to Mallorca intend to bring about a thousand sailors from 55 countries).

Mixed crews (which in the days of “Princess Sofia” will be racing concurrently with the men) will primarily youth, with the prospect for the Games in 2024. Some teams, in particular, the UK, Switzerland and Spain, have already begun work in this direction.
