Sailors will not be able to use GPS, mobile phones, autopilots nor any other electronic navigation equipment. Only sextants and cartographic maps.

To participate in this regatta, the boat must have some basic characteristics: it must be a sailing boat designed before 1989, with a maximum length of 36 feet, an offset keel with the rudder on the keel trailing edge and with a minimum design displacement of 6,200kg.
