43rd Copa del Rey MapfreRegatta party

The 43rd Copa del Rey Mapfre was sailed in Palma from late July to early August 2025, and that year it shared the calendar with the ORC European Championship. For the regatta party at the Real Club Náutico de Palma, the meeting point was the club’s swimming pool, with the boats moored a few metres away.

At the water’s edge we built a truss stage with the sound hung on both sides and a grid of spotlights, moving heads and circular light fittings. On the terrace we put large-format LED screens that alternated regatta imagery with graphics for the music, and in front of them stood the DJ booth, white and carrying the sponsors’ logos.

The set-up was done in daylight and tested at dusk. Once night fell, the pool turned blue and purple and beams of light rose above the harbour. There was a live guitarist and a DJ set, with a camera operator filming at the foot of the stage, in front of a dance floor full of guests dressed in white.
