exciting, high-seas adventure", said Javier Vasallo, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Buena Vista
International, the international film distribution arm of The Walt Disney Company in Iberia. "This is the first time
Disney is participating in this fabulous sporting adventure, and we are thrilled it is all commencing here in Spain".
