The IE and LBS Sailing Clubs regret to announce that the 2024 edition of the Alumni Business Cup in Alicante will not be held as scheduled on 13-15 June. Logistical challenges, and the weekend falling during peak season in the Alicante sailing calendar, meant that we would have been unable to deliver the regatta at the advertised price.

While we are disappointed not to be able to host you in Alicante this June, we hope to be able to put together the event at another time in the near future. Thank you for your understanding, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
