The fastest ships, according to weather and sea conditions, are expected to arrive at the Moraira Nautical Club on Friday evening. There are three possible routes planned by the committee and one of them will be established at the pre-departure pattern meeting. In social terms, the Club reoffers the cash prizes, another of the assets and differentiators of 'the 300'. The first ranking of the absolute general ORC will have a bag of 3,000 euros, 2,000 for the second and 1,000 for the third. But the Alicantino club will also offer two more trophies: one for the first ORC Club and one for the ship with less time invested.

Official presentation

The event hall of the City of Valencia Wine Regulatory Council has been the chosen stage for the 16th edition of the 300 Miles to 3 Moraira - Grefusa Trophy. An event that has had the presence of Cosme Gutiérrez, president of the Regulatory Council; Jesús Martí, representing the firm Grefusa, Rafael Xirivella, vice president of Som Vela - FVCV and Armando Bañón, president of the Nautical Club of Moraira, accompanied by his Commodore, Ramón Martí.

The Action Room of the D.O. Regulatory Board Vinos de Valencia today has hosted the official presentation of the test organized by the Moraira Nautical Club and whose departure is scheduled for Wednesday 18 January at 12: 00

Moraira's appointment has been presented with a record of participation. In the absence of a week for the official closure of registration there are already 25 ORC ships listed. One of the most prominent aspects of the presentation of the test by the protagonists who have highlighted the importance and projection of the race among the shipowners. For the president of the nautical Moraira the race is much more than a sports competition "since it means that the club is still alive and with an intact illusion of continuing to grow in a sports activity that has been able to open way and gap between the shipowners". Bañón also wanted to highlight the important and indispensable support of Grefusa, "without it, it would be quite difficult for us to do many of the things we've been doing, with cash prizes, among other things.". The height race, with about three days of competition according to the wind conditions, will again count on the online positioning of TracTrac as is usual in the last editions.

The meeting, organized by the Moraira Nautical Club, will start next Wednesday, January 18, although earlier, January 11, will be officially presented to the City Wine Regulatory Council of Valencia. The Alicantina citation again has all its ingredients, which have made it in these 16 years an important race because of its hardness and demand, being the first of the high sail calendar in the Valencia Community. The race will have its traditional tour: Moraira, Baleares and Murcia Region, although and after what happened now two seasons the final tour will be established in the meeting of patterns on the same day January 18, already with the most reliable weather parts.

The event organized by the Moraira Nautical Club will be held next January 18 with the emblematic and hard tour between Moraira, Baleares and Murcia Region. The race continues to count on the three cash prizes that are awarded to the first three classified in the absolute general

The Náutico Moraira, which again has the main support of Grefusa in addition to other collaborators, replaces the cash prizes together with the prestigious unique design trophy. The first ranking of the absolute general ORC will have a bag of 3,000 euros, 2,000 for the second and 1,000 for the third. But the Alicantino club will also offer two trophies: one for the first ORC Club and one for the ship with Minor Inverted Time. A little less than two weeks from now the rate of registration is good, keeping the plans of the Organizing Committee to get over 25 registered ships. As of now, there are 17 registered ones. Dale Andar, with the brothers Ricardo and Pedro Imaz and Rodrigo Álvarez, is on this first list, so the ship of Altea will seek in this edition to revalidate the title obtained in 2016. The Imaz and Alvarez took the trophy and the cash prize in the last edition thanks to the 44 hours 23 minutes and 16 seconds they invested in completing the 300 miles.
