The 37th Jornadas Náuticas Pitiusas got underway on Friday, 9 October 2026, with KIM taking the provisional overall lead after the opening stage between Ibiza and Formentera.

The regatta, organised by Club Náutico Ibiza with main sponsorship from Insotel Hotel Group, Trasmapi and Marina Ibiza, has brought together 31 boats competing across four ORC groups.

KIM, skippered by Yann Lythgoe and representing El Portet de Dénia, leads the published overall standings on a tie-break after finishing the full-course race ahead of Jeffertje 3 and L’Immens.

A Longstanding Ibiza Sailing Tradition

The Jornadas Náuticas Pitiusas are among the established fixtures of the islands’ cruising calendar. The event traces its origins to the Vuelta a Ibiza y Formentera regatta and the Jabeque de Oro and Jabeque de Plata trophies, whose early editions date back to 1974. The competition adopted its current name and format in 1989.

With two stages remaining, KIM and Atlant del Vent are level on points at the top, setting up a closely contested finish across the waters of Ibiza and Formentera.
