The third place is occupied by Joan Freixa (CN El Balís) and the first female is Lluïsa Puig (CN L'Estartit) which occupies the sixth position to the general.

The Finn class was planning to start the competition today, but the strong wind that was blowing on the coast of the Maresme, of a southwestern component above 20 knots of intensity, finally made the fleet stay to port.
