The Organizing Committee announces the cancellation of the 2020 Trofeo Princesa Sofía Iberostar due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and following recommendations from the Spanish and Balearic Governments. This affects all classes (Olympic classes, One-Design, Open Foil and ORC).
 
The organizers of the event, that was expected to be held in the Bay of Palma from 25 March to 4 April, deeply regret this situation but must follow the restrictions requested by the Health Authorities in order to face this global health issue.
