Since
2010, the "Fed Cup" has been sailed in the J/80 offered by the local
Lanzarote J/80 Fleet, the event has established itself as the best
regatta for Russian Sailing Federation members and has become the
principal event on the sailing calendar for dozens of sailors. The
success of the regatta is guaranteed by several factors- fun boats to
sail; perfect time of year to sail in Lanzarote with big breezes, big
waves and plentiful sunshine; the high quality of the sailing teams; a
combination of fleet racing and team racing offers something for
everyone; the presence of the leading officials of the Russian sailing
community; and the spectacular location of the five-star hotel Hesperia
Lanzarote overlooking the waterfront and the sailing area!The spirited competition on the water with past Russian Olympic Sailing Team members, veteran Russian professional sailors as well as novice sailors first learning the ropes of how to get a J/80 around the race track make for lively discussions during the evening social festivities and, especially, at the famous "fish barbecue" (one of the most popular dinner party events of the week!).
