Palma.—A chance meeting between the President of the International Sail Training Association and Pat Bullock of Majorca’s Joves Navegants, resulted in the local charity’s yacht, Galaxie, being entered in this year’s Mediterranean Tall Ships Race on its course from Spain through to France and Italy.
Thirty-nine grand vessels crossed the line at Barcelona, all racing for Toulon. Although 21-metre Galaxie was jostling for position alongside an impressive collection of square-rigged leviathans, she made a great start under the careful helmsmanship of Captain Joan Dicenta Aguirre.
