Half a hundred ships and 300 crew members were at the exit of one of the most participatory tests in the Abra

In its thirty-third edition, the Regata a la Inversa-BBVA was once again a protagonist in the Cantábrico during the first of May organized by the Real Club Marítimo del Abra - Real Sporting Club de Las Arenas in the Vizcayno port of Getxo. The Vizcaina waters of the Abra hosted this meeting in which 50 ships and three hundred crew took part on a perfect day to sail... who celebrated this date most was Gonzalo Arnal's' Lasai ', a Sun Odissey 32, which arrived the first to the finish line with a time of 1 hour 46 minutes and 55 seconds. In the second square the' Bacilón 'of José Miguel Franco was classified, at 5.21, and the third finished the' Gaitero 'of Juan Valdivia more than 7 minutes. Once again, and due to wind conditions, one of the small ships ended up winning one of the most expected dates of the season. This unique competition, in which the compensated times are made before the departure and in which the first boat that crosses the line of arrival is always imposed after more than 8 miles of journey, was won by the' Lasai ', which ended up in front of the' Bacilon ',' Gaitero ',' Marmotinha ',' Blau ',' Irrintzi Lau ',' Go Blue ',' Ramper ',' Kantarepe Iru 'and' Modark '. Since the departure of the classic' Cantarepe 'and' Sapran 'ships, a more than attractive sailing event was held, which is already a tradition on May 1.

28 / 04 / 2017: The dean of the races in Spain "inverse" again in Getxo with the support of the BBVA

The dean of the races "against the clock" or "on the other hand," the BBVA Regata returns to the peach waters of the Abra as every first of May for no less than 33 years. Some 60 boats will appear next Monday at the departure of one of the most attractive races due to the great emotion it offers each year. It is a different, fun and with a certain technical air that makes it different and very competitive... that if it goes well in terms of planning and wind it drives the judges crazy in the line of arrival... because as the compensation of times is given out... it must come with many odds the ships together... sometimes it has been almost impossible to know who was the 14 or 15 or 16... or the 20... as they entered in seconds to the best ten or fifteen ships... obviously these problems with the current technology are resolved with simplicity... but on the ground and visioning the images taken on arrival.

60 ships and 300 crew will be at the start of the 33rd edition of one of the most participatory tests in the Abra
