After a two-day break, the Repsol Trophy – 42nd Monte Real Club de Yachts Spring Regatta returns to the Vigo estuary tomorrow to celebrate the second of the three days in which the competition will be decided.
After the initial stage on Wednesday , the sailboats will have to face two new tests this Saturday with north-northwest winds between 9 and 11 knots. They will open the competition with a windward-leeward starting at half past twelve at the Cíes Islands anchorage; and they will finish it off with a coastal route that will take them, predictably, through Subrido, Bondaña, La Negra and Carallones, to finally finish inside the bay of Baiona, in front of the Parador Nacional.
The Aceites Abril of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, led by the Pérez Canal brothers, is at the top of the ORC 1 classification; and in the ORC 2 class, the leader is Unus del Monte Real Club de Yates, with Luis García Trigo at the controls. In the dispute for the J80 Monotype Luso-Galaica Cup, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen leads the classification; and in the Figaro class, the Bouvento skippered by Luis Alcázar.
In the Repsol Trophy program for tomorrow, Saturday, in addition to the competition in the water, there is a seafood dinner offered by Monte Real, a gin and tonic tasting with the collaboration of Martin Miller Gin and Royal Bliss, and live music with the performance by the Vigo pop music group La Franga.
