About the Series

What is the 52 SUPER SERIES?
The 52 SUPER SERIES was established in 2012 and quickly became renowned as the world’s leading grand prix monohull yacht racing circuit. 2022 saw the tenth anniversary celebrations back in Barcelona where it all began at the Trofeo Conde de Godo regatta in May 2012.

And 2024 sees the circuit as strong as ever with an extremely high level of very evenly matched competition at the front of the fleet but new teams still joining up to challenge themselves with two new teams – from France and Brazil – starting out in late 2024.

Each regatta consists of ten windward leeward races. A low points scoring system based on the final standings of each individual race rewards consistency among the fleet.

The “Box Rule” associated to the TP52 Class, means that boats must, literally, be able to fit within a box of certain dimensions. This means that there are no time allowances or handicaps and the boats race in real-time – first past the post wins. The Box Rule is strict enough to eliminate the need to set handicaps, yet flexible enough to encourage small, yearly innovations. The 52 SUPER SERIES is won by teams of skilful sailors, and the setup of the class means that the ages of the boat is of less importance.

The History of the Series
The circuit grew from the ashes of the TP52 MedCup, which finished in 2011 when the principal sponsor withdrew.

The 52 SUPER SERIES was developed as an initiative by three key stakeholders, respectively the owners of Quantum Racing, Azzurra and Rán Racing. They really enjoyed their racing in the TP52, and could see a future in which the owners dictated the direction of the 52 SUPER SERIES. Their aim was to create a racing circuit for like-minded individuals in locations and venues enjoyed by all.
