points. Second is the Italian “Euz II Monella Vagabonda” helmed by
Sandro Montefusco, with 23 points.

Cascais, with 29 points. “Red Bull Racing Eyewear” helmed by José Manuel

“Brillamar”. The strong Spanish boat “Bribon Movistar” had to be
content with a seventh place, with a strong recovery after breaking
several of their riggings.

deep storm affecting Galicia’s coast was felt in the area, with few
rain, but with groundswell and unstable wind that failed to stabilize,
without a clear direction The AP flag wasn’t lowered until
mid-afternoon, indicating to set sail to try and start the first race,

forced to suspend the regatta, before the first arrival to leeward. At
that time, the “E para comer Lugo”, helmed by the Platu 25 Spanish
Champion Gonzalo Araújo, was first, followed by “EUZ II Monella
Vagabonda” owned by Francesco Lanera and helmed by Sandro Montefusco,

of Portosín, with great excitement, as the sailboat of Araújo only
surpasses the “Euz II Monella Vagabonda” of Sandro Montefusco, by a
single point.
"It's
being a difficult tournament for us, we had a very high number of
breaks, some important and this has affected us especially in 5 of the 8
races sailed", says Marc de Antonio, skipper of the “Bribón-Movistar. "Actually
in those races that we didn’t have many problems and we could sail
normally we ended up in second place in all of them. Tomorrow we will
take the field in high spirits and go all out”, concludes De Antonio.
