The EuroLaser Masters Cup 2017 is launched in Calella de Palafrugell
Day of reception of regatists participating in the Euro Laser Masters Cup - XI Trofeu Palafruguel - Memorial 'Pitus' Jimenez at the Club Vela Calella. Throughout the day the race office has had a frenzy activity, with the record of the athletes who have been arriving in Calella de Palafrugell.
The participants are coming, on a radiant day, that began with a strong tramontana, with an average of 25 knots of pressure, which has not prevented many in the middle of the afternoon from going out to test their boats. In the morning you couldn't do the train race.'The water near the beach is calm, which deceives the real situation of the sea, because within a short half mile, outside of the one they call the Port Bo, the wind reigns with a force of 25 knots'. As the population of Calella is oriented to the South, it is completely protected from the wind of the North. In any case, the 'water committee' has been checking the race field for tomorrow and at the middle of the day, many of the regatists arrived have come out to test their boats, when the wind has rolled to the South and their intensity has fallen somewhat.

The race is part of the Euro Masters Series 2017, a circuit coordinated by the European section of the International Laser Class Association (EurILCA), although the sports event overcomes the strictly sporting side to convert this annual event, in Calella de Palafrugell, instead of fraternization and friendship of many regatists, to remeet again in this privileged environment of the Costa Brava. Calella de Palafrugell becomes during these days, the preferred appointment point of the sailing veterans.
