At the end of the day, Rats on Fire won his hand and stood at the head of the provisional general table with 6.5 points, followed by Porron IX just one point behind.

The last day is anticipated exciting with an interesting struggle for victory in the classes ORC 1 and 2

DKtegoria - Phonemovil, by José Ignacio Vicent, who today had the swimmer Alan Cabello on board as a crew, has shown that he still has much to say in this race with a great performance in the first manga that has served him to place himself in podium positions. In the second sleeve it has not been so bright with a seventh position, but it has managed to keep the status quo on the table, which will fight to keep tomorrow in the final day.

The XIX SM Trophy La Reina - Regata Tribute a la Marina - XXX Copa Admiral Marcial Sánchez - Barcáiztegui today has lived its inaugural day with good wind and two tests for all classes except the Open class, which will be incorporated tomorrow in the competition. The day began with the weather part and the collection of patterns, after which the boats have been made to sea to begin the tests, consisting of two trapeze-like tours of eight miles in total.

The wind has blown from the southeast with light roles in both sleeves and an average of 15 knots in the first test and 12 in the second.

Dr. Senís has been made with the victory in the first manga of the day and has been left second in the second showing that he is willing to repeat the victory of the last edition. The Swan 45 is the current advocate of the absolute title of the SM The Queen Trophy, which has its usual Axel Rodger cane, and several members of the Spanish Challenge who participated in the 32nd America's Cup on board. The left behind is one of its main rivals, Rats on Fire, a twin ship under the command of Rayco Tabares, who today has achieved third place in the first trial and a victory in the second, placing himself in a threatening second general square just one point behind. The Nadir mallorcan by Pedro Vaquer completes the podium with a second and a fifth and seven points in its existence. Behind them and tied to ten points are Marina Greenwich of Dominique Luna and Audax Energy of Toni Guiu. The tight classification anticipates a lot of emotion in the coming days.

With two third parties on the two tests, the Alicantino Tanit III - Medilevel de Mª José Vila Valero would be third with a total of six points with the Gaditano Brujo in the fourth general square. Another of the favorites, the cartagJanuary Kundaka - Elite Sails of Synergy Racing Group has been forced to withdraw from the competition after breaking the rudder in the first sleeve.

Those of Gonzalo Calvo have not given truce achieving two first positions in the two trials held which places them at the head of the provisional ranking followed by Iberolimp - Alhambra, by José Vicente Alhambra, who has been third in the first manga and second in the second and with the third square for Enriaero - Puerto de Indias, by Manuel Petrel and Maxi Cruz del CN Punta Umbria, with a second and a third and tied to points with him.
