Forty-five ships sailed off from Arrecife to very complicated conditions provided very open race, with many wind shifts and many options for the crews.

From the first day of the fight for victory is focused on two crews. Felipe Gustavo, and Rayco-Gonzalo. The other favorite, Cristian Alfredo and Nano-Oliver, punctures were strong in first day and was taken down early in the victory. Surprised from day Miguel Guerra and Victor Perez ended the first day third and stayed there in the top five throughout the tournament finishing fourth. Also very good result for Nete-David, who after the Canary Cup came with the moral a bit touched, but that sailed very well and after a first race with an outside line, recovered well and were slowly climbing to finish fifths.

In the fight for victory, Rayco-Gonzalo took advantage on the first day with 3.2 and 1 on-Felipe Gustavo 1,6,3. The second day began well for the local couple with a 2-second after Peter Chichin who won the fourth set, but in the fifth and second day, after leading with some comfort to Gustavo, Felipe, on the last upwind with a field very shifty , left to Gran Canaria for a moment, just enough to rolara and these were placed well and spend a few lengths of Rayco-Gonzalo goal. Then in the final round of Lanzarote made an 8, its worst-Gustavo Felipe test and one who tied for first with both 10 points and everything to the last day. On Saturday, conditions were windy, initially favored the local partner, and it was while holding the whole boat, but the rudder broke and had to retire, leaving the way clear to proclaim Felipe Gustavo-Cup champions Snipe Spain of 2011.

Very good organization of the Real Club Náutico Arrecife, and special mention to the live broadcast of the races . Very good result, and luxury hotel Gustavo Martinez. A good initiative of the Club and its commodore that had major impact on the network with thousands of daily visits to the web.
