The young sailor Ricardo Fernández, just 12 years old, won the Baitra Children’s Sailing Championship this Sunday after achieving three first places in the five races held over the weekend in the Bay of Baiona. The athlete from the Club Marítimo de Canido did a double by winning the overall trophy and also getting on the podium of honor of the Optimist A.
In this class, intended for sailors between the ages of 11 and 15, silver went to Paula da Rocha, Fernández’s clubmate; and the bronze for Africa Alonso, from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo.
In the Optimist B class, the Club Marítimo de Canido once again demonstrated its power, and revalidated the first three positions that it had already achieved after the first day of testing. Mario Soares, Adriana Pérez Canal and Paloma Pedrosa were first, second and third respectively.
More spread out were the first positions of the Optimist C class, from 8 to 10 years old, in which Jorge Álvarez, from the Club Náutico de Riveira, prevailed. Tiago Vecino and Andrés Barreiro, from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo and the Monte Real Club de Yates, won silver and bronze in the championship.
And in the Optimist School classification, that of the youngest, who start in the world of competition, Canido once again signed another plenary session occupying all the positions on the podium, led by Antonio de Cominges, Rodrigo Pérez and Jorge Troncoso.
The Baitra Children’s Sailing Championship, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales, ended this Sunday in Baiona with the second and last day of tests, which were held in better conditions than in the first stage.
The regattas started a little later than initially planned, but they developed with agility and emotion. The wind, from the northwest component, blew with good intensity during all the races and the quality of the young sailors did the rest. Quite equal between the fleet and a lot of desire to have fun competing.
The end of the championship was put with the awards ceremony for the winners, an act that was held at the Monte Real facilities, with the assistance of the manager of Baitra and sponsor of the trophy, Juan Carlos González; the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal; the president of the Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde; and several directors of the organizing club.
