The 49th Trofeo de Vela Conde de Godó featured the usual ORC classes and the J70 fleet, and as a novelty the ORC A Dos (Double Handed) class was incorporated, giving projection to this modality for the celebration of the ORC Double Handed World Championship in September 2023 by the Real Club Nàutic de Barcelona.
