We discover the history of Hispania, the legendary vessel of Alfonso XIII

Don’t miss this Friday’s episode of Passion for the Sea! Passion for the Sea has returned to Canal 4 TV and Canal 4 Radio, starting a new phase that builds on more than ten years of experience dedicated to covering all the latest maritime news from the Balearic Islands, featuring top guests and a full agenda of events.

This Friday, we set sail into history to discover one of the great jewels of Spain’s maritime heritage.

We welcome Eva Sardá and Jonathan Syrett, managers of the Hispania Project, to talk about the fascinating restoration of a legendary vessel built in 1909 for King Alfonso XIII and considered one of the most valuable pieces of classic sailing in the international scene.

This historic sailing yacht, designed by the legendary Scottish naval architect William Fife III under the 15m JI Class rule in 1908, has once again become a symbol of the importance of preserving our maritime culture.

All this and much more this Friday at 12:00 in a new episode of Passion for the Sea, broadcast across all Canal 4 radio stations (88.4 and 89 FM in Mallorca, 90.3 FM in Menorca, and 91.1 FM in Ibiza and Formentera), and at 21:30 on Canal 4 Television.
