Due to the current situation of the global pandemic, the Organising Committee of the Palamós Christmas Race officially announces the cancellation of the 2020 edition of the traditional Olympic classes' regatta.

After 45 years, this year, exceptionally, the Organisation has been forced to make this difficult decision due to the constant increase in infections as well as the lockdown measures and mobility restrictions that would have impeded the normal development of the regatta.

Unfortunately, we cannot host our annual Christmas meeting in Palamós this coming December but the Christmas Race team will continue to work so that we can meet again, with all necessary measures, next year.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you all in Palamós from 18 to 22 December 2021.
