The brand new TP52 Bribón is sailing in Valencia

The brand new TP52 Bribón was launched on Friday and immediately went out for her first sail off Valencia's coast. The Bribón was designed by Rolf Vrolijk, built at the King Marine boatyard in Valencia and fitted out during the last couple of weeks at the Desafío Español base.

Given the particularity of the boat and team - the King of Spain Juan Carlos is considered the de facto owner - there is little information made public. As a result, we can't provide further details on the first test sails.
