Early August saw the Hublot brand navigating through the royal waters of  Palma de Mallorca. The scene was set for a memorable 29th Copa del Rey  (King's Cup) competition: 90 yachts from all categories took to the  starting line throughout the week. The sporting calibre of the teams was  unprecedented and the weather conditions brought a touch of  unpredictability to the event, with constant, sudden changes in the  wind. It was a true test for the sailors from all over the globe, for  whom this represents the most prestigious and competitive event in the  Mediterranean. With the participation of yachts such as the TP52s Matador, Cristabella  and Bribon, as well as Mini-Maxis Alegre, Container and Ran, along with  Prince Felipe of Spain's own IRC 52 CAM, the Copa del Rey attracts many  spectators each year to the event held on the stunning Balearic island.  Guests were invited to stylish evening events on the terraces of the  Real Club Nautico, to mingle, take in the enchanting summer ambiance and  enjoy the musical accompaniment.The winners in each category - the owners of the Matador, Ran, Rats on Fire, Tanit IV and Lelagain yachts - were presented with a magnificent Hublot chronograph by King Juan Carlos of Spain during a prizegiving ceremony held in front of the breathtaking cathedral of Palma de Mallorca (watchquote, 2010).
