Jane Abascal from Santander and Henrik Andersin from Finland led their crews from the Bribón Movistar Clásico and the Evelina to the top of the podium in the competition organized to commemorate the arrival of the caravel Pinta in Baiona
In the Open class of the modern 6 meters, Pedro Campos’ Bribón Movistar (Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo) and Eugenio Galdón’s May Be XIV (Royal Club de Regatas de Cartagena) took silver and bronze, respectively.
The Mena of Violeta Álvarez (Royal Yacht Squadron) and the Titia of Mauricio Sánchez-Bella (Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo) finished second and third in the classification of the 6 meters classic
The awards ceremony for the regatta organized by the Baiona City Council and the Monte Real Yacht Club was attended by the Xunta de Galicia Secretary for Sports, Marta Míguez
The Bribón Movistar Clásico of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, skippered by the Santander Olympic medalist Jane Abascal, and the Evelina , from the Finnish club Nyländska Jaktklubben, with Henrik Andersin in the lead, won the two golds that were shared out this Sunday in the 525th Anniversary Regatta of the Arrival of the Caravel Pinta.
Both crews reached the last stage of the competition as leaders and were able to seal the classification on a day that offered the international 6-meter fleet enviable conditions for sailing, without rain, with little sea and a wind that started from the first moments, both in direction and intensity.
In the category of the oldest boats, the Bribón Movistar Clásico of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, with Abascal at the helm, was undoubtedly the best. He signed three first places in the four contested races, and only let himself be snatched one sleeve by the Mena de Violeta Álvarez, of the Royal Yacht Squadron (Cowes, United Kingdom) who, despite completing a very good regatta, had to settle for silver . The bronze went to the Titia of the President of the Spanish Association of 6 meters, Mauricio Sánchez-Bella, who gained momentum on the final day and rose from fifth position to third.
After receiving the grand prize of the competition from the General Secretary for Sport of the Xunta de Galicia, Marta Míguez, Abascal took stock of the regatta. It was, according to the Olympian, “an exceptional weekend, with incredible sailing conditions, a perfect wind and great organization from Monte Real, which I am very fond of because they always make me feel at home”.
In the other category in contention, the Modern 6m Open, the victory went to Henrik Andersin’s Evelina , from Nyländska Jaktklubben. The Finns showed what they are capable of on the water and crossed the finish line three times as first.
He only managed to beat them, on one occasion, theRogue Movistar by Pedro Campos, from the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, who passed his first tests in competition with flying colors after the remodeling carried out on the sailboat. The boat sailed today with different sails than those of the first day, older but more similar to those that the sailboat will finally have, and tomorrow it will return to the Rodman shipyard for some small readjustments for the next regattas. The May Be XIVof the Real Club Náutico de Cartagena completed the podium of winners of the Open category taking the bronze of the competition.
Once the 525th Anniversary Regatta of the Arrival of the Caravel Pinta in Baiona has finished, the 6-meter fleet established two years ago in Sanxenxo will continue to prepare for the European Championship, which it plans to attend from September 3 to 6 at the French town of La Trinité. Previously, from July 28 to August 4, the 6m will participate in the 37th Copa del Rey MAPFRE, which this year included them, in its classic and modern divisions, as an invited class.
If the recovery of King Juan Carlos from his knee operation progresses as expected, the monarch emeritus, who could not be present this weekend at the Baiona competition due to medical recommendation, will attend both competitions aboard the new Rogue Movistar , with whom his team hopes to achieve great results. Let us remember that last year, in the Bribón Movistar Clásico , Don Juan Carlos was proclaimed world champion of the class in Vancouver.
Meanwhile, the Monte Real Club de Yates will continue with its 2018 sports calendar, which has as its next appointment the Galician Solitaire and Two-handed Championship. The regatta, which will be held on June 2 in the Rías Baixas, will once again be the Rafael Olmedo Memorial in honor of the man who was president of the club for more than 40 years.

The Rascal Movistar Classic of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, skippered by the Olympic sailor Jane Abascal, was placed this Saturday as the leader of the Regatta for the 525th Anniversary of the Arrival of the Carabela Pinta, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates and the Baiona City Council to commemorate the event.
The boat built by José Cusí, who last year was proclaimed world champion in the 6-meter class with King Juan Carlos as skipper, managed to lead the classification after signing two victories in the two races held in the Bay of Baiona .
It also did so with a certain margin over its most direct rival, Violeta Álvarez’s Mena , of the Royal Yacht Squadron, who has the provisional silver pending what happens on the final day tomorrow, Sunday.

In the category of the Open, the most modern boats in the fleet, the victory of the day went to the Finnish Evelina , owned by Henrik Andersin. It is the first foreign boat that joined the Spanish 6-meter fleet to prepare for the European next September in France, and it seems that it has taken the navigation measures very well in the Rías Baixas.
In the regatta he managed to beat the Bribón Movistar of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, which Pedro Campos tested this Saturday for the first time in competition after the modifications made to the boat. Structural changes that, according to Campos, have allowed them to already see results in the water.
“The sensations -says the historical pattern- they are very positive. Today, for example, although we couldn’t win due to a mess with an off-line, measuring times we have seen that we have been the fastest, and above all, we have rolled the boat, which was our priority. Tomorrow – assures Campos- we will go out with different sails and we will readjust all the details that we have been detecting this afternoon in the tests” .
The provisional podium of the Open class is completed by the May Be XIV of the Real Club de Regatas de Cartagena, skippered by Eugenio Galdon.
The competition ends tomorrow, Sunday, with the last two tests, starting at half past twelve, and the awards ceremony for the winners, at five in the afternoon at the Monte Real Club de Yates facilities.

The Monte Real Club de Yates will bring great figures of sailing in Spain to Baiona this weekend to commemorate that the Galician fishing village was the first in the old world to receive the news of the discovery of America. The Arrival of Pinzón to Baiona aboard the caravel Pinta, in 1493, has been the perfect excuse to bring together, 525 years later, historic sailors around a classic boat competition.
Among them we will see a history of Spanish sport, the Olympic sailor Jane Abascal, one of the first gold medalists in an Olympics (Moscow, 1980, in the Flying Dutchman class). The 66-year-old from Santander has also been the Spanish champion of the Snipe class, the Vaurien world champion and, in 1994, he received the Gold Medal of the Royal Order of Sports Merit. After haggling with King Juan Carlos last September in the Prince of Asturias Trophy, Abascal returns to Baiona to take charge of Bribón Movistar .
Jane Abascal haggled with HM King Juan Carlos last year in Baiona
The new Rogue XVI , which debuts tomorrow, Saturday in competition, will be taken care of by one of its main promoters, Galician Pedro Campos, another of the national sailing legends and the only sailor to have won five consecutive world championships. The president of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo is an old acquaintance from Monte Real, of which he is also a member, as he was the patron of the first Spanish team to participate in the Copa América after the challenge presented by the club from Baiona. In the 525th Anniversary Regatta , he will focus on testing all the technological innovations that have been added to the new Rogue , such as a 14-meter fiberglass pole or a steering wheel that replaces the usual rod.
Pedro Campos will be in charge of debuting the new Bribón in competition
Campos en el agua will have to deal with another legend, also Galician, Javier de la Gándara, from Vigo, who will take command of the Aída, a 1939 ship that has been the fastest in the German fleet of its class . After several seasons focused on regattas in the J80 class, Gándara now enters the 6-meter class with the aim of demonstrating, once again, his great ability to masterfully control any type of sailboat. In his youth he stood out in 420 and Snipe, and over the years he added marks to his record in different boats and competitions. His speed record in the Tour of the World in 1989, his victory in the Rolex Fastnet Race in 1993 and also in the Tour of Europe explain why he is one of the most successful sailors in the world.
The historic Javier de la Gándara will compete aboard the Aída
Along with Campos and De la Gándara, there is a third Galician skipper whose sports curriculum gives him a prominent place in the competition, Miguel Lago from Vigo. Winner of the Fastnet Race on the Galicia 93 Pescanova and a Tour of Europe aboard the WOR 60 ocean class, Lago can also boast of having achieved three victories in the prestigious Sardinia Cup and several world championships. He has sailed on the Telefónica , has been a crew member on the Bribón , and has crossed the Atlantic on more than one occasion. Completed the Route of Discovery aboard the Santa Maria, the first catamaran built entirely in Spain; and years later, in 2013, he repeated the feat aboard the VO70 MAPFRE, with which he managed to set a new record on the route, crossing the Atlantic Ocean between Palos de la Frontera and San Salvador in 11 days 7 hours. 38 minutes and 40 seconds.
Miguel Lago in Alibabá II in the latest edition of the Prince of Asturias Trophy
In the Regatta of the 525th Anniversary of the Arrival of the Caravel Pinta to Baiona , Lago will compete leading the crew of the Alibabá II, the sailboat of the British owner Peter Dubens, of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, with which two years ago he won the Prince Trophy of Asturias.
Among the rest of the skippers will be the naval engineer Iñigo Echenique aboard the Caprice , from the Club Marítimo de Canido, a ship restored after it was found abandoned in a chicken coop. Cesar Elizaga will take charge of the Ian , a ship from 1929, one of the oldest in the fleet; and the commander of Iberia Mauricio Sánchez-Bella will do the same with the Titia , which last year was proclaimed runner-up in the world. The Evelina of the Finnish Henrik Anderson or the Mena will be other boats that enter the competition.
The tests of the Regatta 525 Anniversary of the Arrival of the Caravel Pinta will begin tomorrow Saturday at half past twelve in the Bay of Baiona and, thanks to the proximity to the coast of the regatta field, they can be seen from the sandbanks and mountains more next.

The new Bribón boasts of having a marked Galician accent, since in addition to being built and remodeled in Galician shipyards, it has Javier Cela behind it, responsible for site engineering; and the historic sailor Pedro Campos, as its main promoter.
“As a result of the recovery of the class in Sanxenxo, we decided to embark on the construction of a new boat with which we could show Galicia’s strategic position in the sector and all its technological capacity. And the new rascal – says Pedro Campos – is the best example of what we are capable of doing in Galicia.”
Among the numerous technological advances that have been applied to the sailboat, designed by Juan K, is a fiberglass mast, the first of its kind to be built in the entire history of the 6m. The intention was to be able to debut it in the world championship held last year in Vancouver (Canada), where King Juan Carlos became world champion in the 6m class, but they did not manage to arrive on time and finally it will be in Galicia where he haggles for first time.
The goal is to test the boat and its innovations ahead of the European Championship to be held in the Brittany town of La Trinité (France) next September, in which the monarch emeritus plans to participate.
Before that, next weekend, we will see him compete in the Regatta 525 Aniversario de la Arribada de la Caravel Pinta , which will continue throughout the weekend. The tests, in which boats of the 6m class will participate exclusively, both in its classic and modern versions, will be held inside the bay of Baiona, very close to the coast, with the aim that anyone who wants to You can enjoy the beauty of sailing these sailboats.
In the official presentation of the event, held this morning at the Monte Real Club de Yates, the vice president of the club, Alejandro Retolaza, showed “very proud that Baiona has been the place chosen for the first official competition of the new Rogue, and that it is also done in such an important regatta -he said- with which one of the most important anniversaries of the fishing village is commemorated”.
The president of Monte Real, José Luis Álvarez, stressed the close collaboration that the club has had for years with the Baiona city council, with the aim of “making our town a unique place to visit, to live in, to sail and enjoy with the candle”.
The mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal, looked back and recalled the Discovery Regatta that Monte Real organized in 1972 and the challenge that it presented years later to the America’s Cup to highlight Baiona’s relations with the American continent and talk of the prolific history of the club in the organization of regattas, something that, according to “guarantees that this weekend’s event will be a complete success.”
At the press conference held this morning at the Monte Real Yacht Club, the deputy delegate for sports from the Pontevedra Provincial Council, Consuelo Besada, and the provincial head of the Xunta de Galicia’s sports service, Daniel Benavides, also took part. Also present were the councilor for culture in Baiona, María Iglesias; and the director of Bodegas Terras Gauda, Enrique Costas, and the managing director of PSA Retail Vigo, Daniel Martín, as collaborators of the event.
The booming 6m class from Galicia to the world
The 6m had its golden age in the 1920s and 1930s, when they led international regattas, and even competed in the Olympic Games in Paris (1924) and, later, in Helsinki (1952).
In Spain there was an important fleet, especially in the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean, which achieved a certain reputation in Europe, but in the 50s and 60s, with the arrival of lighter classes and less expensive construction, they ceased to be so attractive. , and did not regain their popularity until the 1980s.
Today, the momentum of the class is more than evident, with a notable growth of the national and international fleet, and in this panorama, Galicia, and in particular Sanxenxo, has been acquiring more and more prominence. Numerous owners and crews have trusted Pedro Campos and his firm commitment to the class, and have chosen Galicia to keep their boats in Galician ports, repair them in Galician companies and compete in the Galician estuaries.

THE 6M
The 6m had its golden age in the 1920s and 1930s, when they led international regattas, and even competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics and later in Helsinski 1952.
In Spain there was an important fleet, especially in the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean, which achieved a certain reputation in Europe, but in the 1950s and 1960s, with the arrival of lighter classes and less expensive construction, they ceased to be so attractive and they did not regain their popularity until the 1980s.
After having had a class of their own in the 2016 and 2017 Prince of Asturias Trophies, with a presence among the crews of King Emeritus Don Juan Carlos de Borbón, this year they repeat in Baiona in a competition organized exclusively for the 6m.
The crew of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, led by Javier Aguado, won the championship this year after finishing third in 2017
Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen was the best in the Galician fleet and achieved a meritorious third position in the championship organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club
· The Bosch Service Solutions of the Club Marítimo de Canido skippered by Santiago Estévez and Ramón Ojea won the grand prize of the Repsol Trophy
The Maui Jim Sunglasses of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander is the new champion of Spain in the J80 class after winning the national class that was held during the last four days in the bay of Baiona.
The Cantabrians, with Javier Aguado at the helm, picked up their winners’ scepter on Tuesday from Repsol’s Deputy Director of Marine and Fisheries, Carlos Sánchez Nieto, and José Luis Vázquez, president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, who this year held of organizing club and host of the national of the class.
After finishing third in last year’s edition, those from Santander managed to get rid of the thorn in the championship and took Cantabria the big prize in a very close competition, in which they barely beat their teammates by one point and one of their stronger rivals, Jaime Piris’s Mercury, who came second.
“It has been a long championship, with all possible wind conditions to haggle. There are teams that have gone better in strong wind conditions and others with a breeze, but the ones that have triumphed are those that have been versatile in all situations”, declared Javier Aguado, skipper of the Maui Jim, who was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the local fleet: “it has grown a lot and they have proven to be a benchmark with a very high competitive level”.
In fact, the bronze in the Spanish J80 Championship went to a local boat, the Okofen of the historic Javier de la Gándara, the best of the entire Galician fleet that competed in the Repsol Trophy. Wearing Monte Real necklace, the Galicians remained in the top positions from the beginning of the competition and finally achieved a meritorious third place.
In the competition for the big boats, the Cruiser-Racer Class , the victory went to Bosch Service Solutions, skippered in the first two races by Santiago Estévez and with its usual skipper, Ramón Ojea, in the final regatta. After a tough one-on-one with Pedro Pazos’ Oral Group Galimplant, the crew of Canido’s Elan 37, who had had to settle for silver in the previous edition, was finally able to win the Repsol Trophy gold. Those from Sanxenxo took second place and the Youkounkoun from the Portonovo Yacht Club, led by Eduardo Segade, was third.
In the Cruiser Class the roles were also reversed with respect to the 2017 edition. The Balea Dous de Rodeira, who had been second then, took the victory this year; and the winner of the previous edition, Jean Claude Sarrade’s Fend la Bise, from the Monte Real Club de Yates, won silver. Both received their award from the Mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal, who also presented the bronze to Albarellos de Fernando Rey, from the Portonovo Yacht Club.
In Class A Two , victory went to Vigo at the hands of Salaño Dos, skippered by Jacobo Vecino and with Brenda Maure completing the crew. With two first places and one second in the three contested races, they emerged victorious and got the best score for the Rías Baixas de A Dos Circuit , a new five-event competition created this year by the Monte Real Club de Yates, the Real Club Náutico de Portosín, the Náutico de Portonovo and the Liceo Marítimo de Bouzas. The Ay Carmela of Juan Martínez-Pazo and Rafael Martínez-Almeida, of the Portonovo Yacht Club, won the silver trophy and the bronze went to Javier Rey and Jorge Justo aboard the Q Talento Consultores, of the Monte Real Club of yachts.
In the J70 Class, which participated in the Repsol Trophy for the second consecutive year, the winner was Noticia by José María “Pichu” Torcida, from the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, who sealed the rankings on the last day, rising from fourth to first position, and leaving Alfredo González’s Marina Rubicón in second and Luis Bugallo’s Marnatura in third.

· The third day played this Monday in the framework of the Repsol Trophy of the Monte Real Yacht Club turned the classification upside down and the podium remains open for the final rounds that will be held tomorrow
· The Cantabrian team from Maui Jim Sunglasses , led by Javier Aguado and wearing a pendant from the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, rose to first place in the championship, ousting the Basques from AD Grupo Garatu
Olympian Jaime Piris’s Mercury slipped into second place, leaving Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen and Jesus Amaliach’s La Gallofa tied on points in third and fourth position
· After a day of rest, the rest of the fleet participating in the Repsol Trophy will return to the water tomorrow, Tuesday, to participate in the final test and the awards ceremony that will be held in the afternoon at the Monte Real Club de Yates
Maximum emotion in the Spanish Championship of the J80 Class that is being held these days in Baiona and that lived its third and penultimate day this Monday marked by a great rivalry in the water, with the crews giving their best to win the great state award.
After the bad weather conditions recorded on the second day, with a lot of rain and rough seas, the day dawned today sunny but with very little wind at the scheduled time for the start of the day, which caused several postponements before being able to give the starts to the three tests that were finally held.
Among the fleet, a lot of irregularity and very different positions in the contested races. There was no clear protagonist, and there were many upsets in the provisional classification, which left the podium wide open for the final day that will take place tomorrow, Tuesday.
The Cantabrians of Maui Jim Sunglasses , led by Javier Aguado, and wearing a Real Club Marítimo de Santander pendant, rose to first place in the championship, unseating the Basques from AD Grupo Garatu , which fell to fifth place. “We like to see ourselves in the lead and we will try to play our cards well for the final, but there are still tests and everything is very close” assured Aguado after seeing himself as the winner.
The leader of Maui Jim found the wind roles registered today in the Bay of Baiona complicated, something that Galician Javier de la Gándara also suffered with his Okofen. After first crossing the finish line in the first test, he suffered two bad rolls that prevented him from achieving the results he expected. “It is a very strong fleet, very competitive, says Gándara., and when the wind drops, it compacts and navigation becomes complicated”.
The Galician team is third behind the Mercury of the Olympian Jaime Piris; and tied on points with the fourth classified, which is La Gallofa de Jesus Amaliach, both from the Real Club Marítimo de Santander.
Thus, the Cantabrian fleet is, for the moment, the strongest in the national J80 that takes place in Baiona, with three boats cast in the Top Five, two of them with provisional gold and silver.
The competition ends tomorrow, Tuesday, with the last tests of the championship, on a day in which the rest of the boats participating in the Repsol Trophy will go out on the water again, both in the ORC classes (cruiser-race, cruiser and two) and the Figaro class.
The final point will be the awards ceremony for the winners that will be held at four in the afternoon at the facilities of the Monte Real Club de Yates, which acts as host and organizer.

Hard fight between Basques and Cantabrians for the J80 Spanish Championship that this Sunday saw its second day in the waters of the Bay of Baiona, framed in the Repsol Trophy of the Monte Real Yacht Club.
On a day of overcast skies, many downpours and rough seas, the Cantabrians of the Maui Jim Sunglasses , from the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, managed to come within just one point of the Basques of the AD Garatu , who are still leaders despite signing a fifth and sixth place today in the two contested races.
“We would have signed before leaving to finish the day like this, as leaders” , assured the Gipuzkoan skipper, Iker Almandoz, after finishing today’s tests. “The regatta starts again tomorrow and it’s going to be a lot of fun, because there are boats that are fighting very hard for the championship. I can only say that the atmosphere is great and that there are many crews sailing really well”.
Favored by the application of a discard, another team from Santander, La Gallofa , took possession of the third position in the championship this afternoon, from which they ousted Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen who, in fifth position, continue to be the best placed in all the Galician fleet.
And completing the top five of the classification, in fourth place, is another Cantabrian boat, the Mercury of the Olympian Jaime Piris, who seeks to repeat a title they achieved in 2011 after having failed last year, in which they were runners-up.
Other monotypes competing for the Monte Real Repsol Trophy, the J70s, returned to compete this Sunday at the Cíes Islands anchorage, where two tests were held with very changeable conditions, with a lot of wind at times and calm at others.
El Noticia de José María “Pichu” Torcida sentenced the day with a brilliant performance and two first places that helped him rise from fourth position to the head of the classification. Luis Bugallo’s Marnatura , which came first, fell to third place and Alfredo González’s Marina Rubicón remained second.
In the cruise competition, which faced a longer route than in the initial stage, sailing to the Tofiño lighthouse, the crews that were in second position managed to jump to first place. They are, yes, tied on points with the seconds, so the emotion is maximum for the final day on Tuesday.
Bosch Service Solutions from Canido, which was second in the cruiser-regatta class, is now in the lead after unseating Oral Group Galimplant from Sanxenxo. And the Balea Dous de Rodeira managed to take first place in the cruiser class, beating the Fend la Bise de Baiona.

The forty-first edition of the traditional Monte Real Yacht Club Spring Regatta got off to a strong start, which this year is once again the Repsol Trophy and hosts the J80 class Spanish Championship.
On the first day of tests for the national title, held this Saturday in Baiona, the contenders for the title of the J80 monotypes competed for three tasks inside the Bay of Baiona. They did so in very good conditions, on a day with little cloudiness with a northwesterly wind that remained stable and always above 12 knots, even reaching 15 at times.
The Basques from the AD Grupo Garatu, armed by Juan Vázquez, were the protagonists of the day, with a brilliant performance in all the tests. With Iker Almandoz at the helm, the sailboat manned by Íñigo Jáuregui, Íñigo Sánchez and Borja Ponte, signed three first places in the three routes and became leader of the classification.
In second position was another of the favorites to win the championship, Javier Aguado’s Maui Jim Sunglasses. The Menorcans, with aspirations to revalidate the title they won in 2016, started somewhat weakly, with a fourth place in the first test, but managed to overcome the following ones and with two seconds they took over the provisional silver.
The Galician crew of the Okofen, led by the historic Javier de la Gándara, closes the provisional podium. Wearing the organizing club’s pendant, Gándara and his team demonstrated why they were the best J80 Galician team last season.
In addition to the J80s that are competing for the Spanish Championship of the class, cruisers, figaros and J70s participate in the Repsol Trophy this 2018, and all of them took to the water on this first day of competition. For the former, the regatta committee designed a route of just over 13 miles through the Vigo estuary, which was hotly contested in the cruising-regatta and cruising classes.
The Oral Group Galimplant of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, skippered by Pedro Pazos, won on this first day by just 7 seconds, which it managed to beat Bosch Service Solutions of the Club Marítimo de Canido, which is second overall in the cruise class- race. One of the boats that promised to put up a fight in the competition, Rui Ramada’s MBA Atlántico, had to withdraw shortly after the start due to a problem between the Carallones and La Negra beacons.
In the cruise class, the leadership is for the Fend la Bise of Jean Claude Sarrade, of the Monte Real Club de Yates; which is closely followed by one of its biggest competitors, the Balea Dous of Luis Pérez, of the Real Club Náutico de Rodeira.
In class A Dos, after a spectacular start and start of the route, Victor Carrión and Ana Sardiña’s Menudeta had to withdraw from the test due to a problem with the spy, leaving Jacobo Vecino and Brenda Maure’s Salaño Dos and Q Talento Javier Rey and Jorge Justo fighting for first place. Finally it was the Salaño who was placed at the top of the provisional podium.
In the Figaro class, which also completed a coastal route of about 13 miles, the victory of the day went to Elena Raga’s Serralleiras. The Erizana skippered by Alberto Iglesias and the Silleiro of José García de Miguel, are second and third respectively.
And in the J70 competition, which took place at the Cíes Islands anchorage, the provisional classification was very close, with the first four boats separated by just one point of difference. José Luis Freire’s Marnatura, skippered by the young Luis Bugallo, is in the lead with 8 points. It is followed by the Marina Rubicón of Alfredo González, with 9; and Denis Cherevalenko’s Joy Full, who arrived from Tallinn, closes the provisional podium with 10.
The Repsol Trophy continues tomorrow, Sunday, in Baiona with the second day of tests at an earlier time. At eleven o’clock in the morning, the starting horn will be given, inside the bay of Baiona, to the first of the three races scheduled in the J80 Spanish Championship. An hour later, at twelve noon, the tests of the J70 will begin at the Cíes Islands anchorage; and at one o’clock it will be the turn of the cruisers and the figaros, who will once again dispute a coastal tour of the Rías Baixas. In the afternoon, once the competition on the water is over, the Monte Real Yacht Club will offer the crews participating in the Repsol Trophy a seafood dinner and a beer and gin and tonic tasting.
