From the Strait of Gibraltar to Saint-Tropez. Quique Díaz, the sailor from La Línea, is back competing on one of the major stages of international sailing, this time aboard the Meerblick, the Cape 31 owned by Otto Pohlmann, at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2026.
Having cut his teeth on the waters of the Strait and at the Real Club Náutico de La Línea, Díaz continues to gain experience on some of the major international regatta circuits. Among these, his participation in the legendary Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race stands out – one of the world’s most demanding ocean races, which he completed in 2024 aboard the Xanthus.
