PORTOSIN
- The mist became a fundamental key for the development of the only
try-out validated on the first day of the Platu 25 world championship,
which began today in the “Ria de Muros- Noia”, organized by the Royal
Nautic Club of Portosín. After
an adjournment on land, due to the wind low intensity, the sailors of
the teams participating in the intercontinental event took the
opportunity to catch up on the carp enabled as the Race Village. Around
two in the afternoon, the First Official of the Platu 25 World
Championship, lowered the AP flag and ordered to set sail. Forty-five
minutes later gave the first Top or start signal, in which was necessary
to apply a general call since most of the boats were offline.
In
the second one, that it was valid, they took the two possible options
for the Platu, navigate both sides of the field, a circuit type mounted
between buoys windward - leeward, where the buoy closer to the wind was
at a mile from the committee boat, meaning, 4 miles in total were drawn
between two upwind legs and two sterns. The wind was 290, meaning,
northwest, and the average intensity of 8 knots.
Great
wisdom of those who chose the right board and risky mission for those
that went to the left. In the first case, great success for the
Portuguese boat “Credite EGS” of the Olympic sailor Afonso Domingos,
from the “Clube Naval de Cascais”, which is positioned as the first
leader. It was followed on the podium in a close fight by the “E para
comer Lugo”, of Gonzalo Araujo, from the Royal Nautic Club of Vigo,
being third the local sailboat of José Manuel Pérez, the “Red Bull
Racing Team”, from the Royal Nautic Club of Portosín. In
the fourth place of the general classification are the Germans of the
Kamlade, of Gordon Nickel, from the Segler Vereinigung Cuxhav, and
fifths the Spanish of the Pazo de Cea, from the Maritime of Canido,
skippered by Laureano Wizner.
The Italian Euz II, reigning World champion , is located on the sixth place. "Today
we knew it would be a pretty hard day, our goal was to have a good
start and make a good first upwind. We were lucky to get it right
..."commented Hugo Rocha, the Credite EGS tactician.
"Today
we achieved the goal of the day that with these difficult conditions
was to stay in the leading group. In the first upwind leg we were right
going to side with more pressure, and from then we remained in the fight
for the try-out with the Portuguese boat of Domingos/Rocha, but at the end we couldn’t overtake it", clarified the skipper of the “E para comer Lugo”, Gonzalo Araujo. Tomorrow the star is scheduled again at 12 noon, always depending on wind conditions.
