The well-known Mallorcan shipyard Astilleros de Mallorca, builders of the 65m stunning three-masted schooner SY Adix have again teamed up with the Cup as silver sponsors. The yard's facilities allows them to undertake any repair or maintenance work on superyachts up to 70m and their remarkable portfolio of works include many SYC entrants like the 31m Gaia and wild card Win Win.

We're also pleased to announce that Evolution Sails -as well as Gottifredi Maffioli- will be continuing their silver support. Evolution Sails, worldwide makers of custom cruising, racing, grand prix and one design sails, work from production lofts which are among the largest clear span sailmaking lofts on the globe! Furthermore, their loft close to Palma is specifically set up for servicing, cleaning and storing sails for their super yacht clientele.
The innovators behind Gottifredi Maffioli -official suppliers of Extreme 40 and Melges 32 classes- have been developing rope since 1926 and are responsible for introducing ground breaking fibres such as Kevlar, Dyneema and PBO into the racing sailing market. Their products have gone aboard the most celebrated boats, racing regattas such as the America's Cup, the Volvo, the Route du Rhum and the Vendee Globe. And did you know that in 1954 the company developed the first climbing rope made of nylon? These cutting-edge lines were only used by the Italian expedition that conquered K2!
