Sunset+Vine is to distribute five 26-minute highlight programmes and news services for the 2026 52 Super Series.

The 52 Super Series is in its 15th year and this year has three new teams joining the circuit

In a series first, Lanzarote will host two regattas, where stronger, more consistent trade winds on the Atlantic should ensure fast racing. The climax of the season will be back in Valencia in early October.

The season is already under way, having opened with Puerto Portals Portal 52 Super Series Sailing Week in Mallorca at the start of May. The Rolex TP52 World Championship in Porto Cervo, Sardinia is now on, racing from 15-20 June.
