The Rayco Tabares canary ratifies for the fourth time, and the third consecutive, a world title of such a competitive and challenging class as J80. If in 2016 Tabares went into history in the waters of Sotogrande as the only world regatist able to make with the "triple crown" & # 8211 three world titles, the canary has overcome itself by reaching the glory with which it is its fourth world scepter. Leader from the very beginning of the world, and not at any time, the canaries of the "Hotel Princesa Yaiza" have scored five first posts and five seconds in 14 contested races, making it clear from the first race that they were going for all and with guarantees.

In the last day the Tabares had to go out to control their greatest rival, the French "Courrier Junior" and sail as they only know. Just before we went to sea the canary was sincere: "One more year we came to the last day of the J80 World Cup with options, but regardless of the results we do today I can only say that I am very proud of my team. They're machines, they're my friends, we're a family! From the" Hotel Princesa Yaiza Sailing Team tell you that: Thank you all for so much support and love to our team during this week. And now... in the water. "

The Spanish representation has played a role that makes them maintain their hegemony as dominators of the J80 class. The Olympic champion and world champion of J80 José María Van der Ploeg faced the last day with a provisional bronze but the two excellent races of the French ArMenHabitat of Moriceau Simon, who scored two first places in the final day, gave the bronze to the galo to the detriment of the VSA Communication (fourth to only two points of the podium). The ballar representative "HM Hotels" returns to Spain after the world with a double joy. On the one hand the Chacartegui team notes its best international result by making a fifth in this J80 World Championship and on the other, it is made with the world title in Corinthian category (reserved for amateur teams). The seventh is the Andalusian team "Cenyt Hopital-Mabella Team" by Pepequín Orbaneja and with Juan Luis Páez at the helm. This was the final general of the J80 World Cup, for the first five classified:

11 / 07 / 2017: The Red of J80 dominates the World Cup that is taking place in English waters

After five contested races (two on Monday day and three on Tuesday) the canary team of Rayco Tabares, on board its mono-type boat J80 "Hotel Princesa Yaiza," seems to have enjoyed the English waters of Hamble (Southampton).

The English Solent has been faithful to its tradition of strong wind and wave, conditions in which the Canary pattern Tabares has found itself more than comfortable: "The conditions are being hard and complicated, but we feel comfortable as they are quite similar to those we find on our Canary coast, although it is true that the short wave we find here makes navigation more complicated than with Atlantic wave" commented at the end of the Tabares day. The wind, the sea and the strong currents are playing an important role in this sailing world championship, with a very powerful short wave and wind that has not fallen from the 20 knots of intensity.

In addition to the double first temporary position of the "Hotel Princesa Yaiza" team, the "HM Hotels" by Javier Chacártegui (Spanish champion 2016) is in fourth place in general ranking and second in Corinthian (non-professional classification).

The Andalusian "Cenyt Hospital Marbella Team" that patron Juan Luis Páez is seventh in the general and fifth in Corinthian and the Catalan world champion of J80 Jose María Van der Ploeg on board the VSA Communication is made with the eighth provisional square.
