complicated race day in the Bay of Palma.
Today was a very difficult day for everyone in the Cup of Spain J80. Three tests with different conditions. The wind has been very complicated, ongoing roles, wells, and without much order. Those who were more ready and went to the caring role on the left were those who sent in all three races.
greatly surprised me is Carlos Espinosa Iurisnautic Juanlu Serra at the helm . Very solid, they are always ahead of the fleet with good speed and very good starts. They have some new sails for the class of Banks who paint beautifully. Carlos Martinez and his Mapfre not surprising since they have a great track record, but it is surprising to see the ability to finish consistently among the best as they come out. The can see the 20 two minutes after the start, but always get up there. A Rayco lacks speed, the boat is not going and can not develop their full potential, so everything has something saved, a role nobody sees pressure for him there, a talent that keeps him near the top despite being with junk. Another strong team is the Turismo do Algarve Rocha Hugo Gonzalo Araujo at the helm. It goes very fast, and now the last race showed off dramatically. Went offline, turned around the viewer, left behind the entire fleet, and after dodging two tacks well, rode first on the windward side to win the race. Rayco reminded me in her good days in Lanzarote.
The rest of the fleet is good until the tenth, twentieth and right to loose the rest, but the top six are very good. Juan Luis, Hugo, and Gonzalo, Rayco, Carlos Martínez, Nacho Way, Van der Ploeg, make the first posts are very hard. We see that the class is starting to get serious. The teams are very thorough and trained. In all the leading crews are familiar names, medals, world, etc ... comprises shipboard functions. Cruise will sail as a cane and tactical driving.
three more tests tomorrow if time permits. The bad part is, little wind and from all directions. Three crews will play the championship by four points. The outcome tomorrow at 12:: 00h.
Note official organization.
struggle between the top three overall.
Day very technical.
The second round of the Cup in Spain was held today in the waters of the bay of Palma. If the first day the wind was generous in the second has been a little more lazy and capricious, because the general instability of the front across the peninsula and has arrived in Palma.
began
blowing from the northeast to go changing direction to the southeast where he remained engaged. This has allowed the day has been mostly technical and very tactical, where the top crews are shining examples.
The first output was at 13.05, and the Committee had to make two changes of course by the instability of wind, and that was more -14 knots at least -10 -. Since the output TURISMO DO ALGARVE with the Portuguese tactician Hugo Rocha and Galician Gonzalo Araujo at the helm, were able to take full advantage of the conditions and sign a brilliant victory. The second place IURISNAUTIC Carlos Espinosa showed that the lead in the opening day was not a gift and that they were still in the fight. The third position of MAPFRE, placed the winner of the recently held PalmaVela Mapfre race on the podium.
was important no more mistakes as in the day, was discarding the worst result and some had to leave a good ballast result of puncture points made.
At 14.50 the committee gave out the second test, and siding with the southeast wind of 10 knots. Departure and race without problems and MAPFRE display of Murcia Carlos Martinez also made clear that the outsider would be important to ultimate victory. The second was the local OPERA SEASON, the third Spaniard NEXTEL ENGINEERING world champion Ignacio Camino while leading IURISNAUTIC hitherto could only be the third, yielding momentáneamente el liderato por solo un punto al MAPFRE.
Todo quedaba pendiente de la tercera y última prueba del día y sexta del campeonato, cuya salida se produjo a las 16.05 con viento de la misma dirección e intensidad que la segunda. Fuera de línea del LO DIABLO que fue descalificado por no volver a retomar la salida. De nuevo lucha sin cuartel entre el TURISMO DO ALGARVE e IURISNAUTIC por la victoria parcial y de la general. Finalmente la victoria en esta prueba se decantó a favor del TURISMO DO ALGARVE con un regular IURISNAUTIC en segundo lugar, mientras que el tercer escalón del pódium era para otro barco local, concretamente el HM HOTELES de Javier Chacartegui, con la propietaria Majorcan hotel chain on board. Puncture on this occasion for MAPFRE could only sixth.
With these figures, and after six races held, the overall IURISNAUTIC was commanded by a total of 12 points, with second place for the MAPFRE with 15, the third for 16-TURISMO DO ALGARVE , and the fourth ship is the world champion and Lanzarote Hotel Princesa Yaiza but with 26 points, and the fifth for the other world champion Spaniard NEXTEL ENGINEERING.
Thus it appears that Sunday morning has a passionate sports day because victory is the need to fight the top three separated by 3 and 1 points respectively, but we can not rule out any other competitor. Although IURISNAUTIC and still can afford a slip as their worst result is discarded sixth place, although it is not advisable.
