The Valencia Community already has its new autonomous cruise champions. The Rodman 42 Maverta of Pedro Gil, of the RCN Torrevieja in ORC 1 and the Dufour 40 Kalamandurrio of Pablo Nogueroles, of the CN Villajoyosa in ORC 2, have today been proclaimed champions at the Royal Nautical Club of Denia, club that hosts the race this weekend.

A second and last day in the waters of the Diaspora that has been marked by the absence of wind, although there was an attempt by the regatta committee to see that at 2: 00 hours a slight breeze that reached the 6-7 knots of intensity was to allow to close the first of the two planned, but... Once the test was launched and when the ORC 1 was already arriving at the sotavento door and the rest of the classes was doing it at the barlovento pass, beacon 1, the wind said goodbye.

The committee was obliged to annul the evidence. After several attempts and at around 3.30 p.m., in view of the inability to leave and close a test, the time limit was set at 4.30 p.m., the committee decided to send the fleet to the ground and to end the championship.

With the result of yesterday's coastal race we have been able to take out the two titles Autonomy - Generalitat Valenciana Trophy in play: Maverta in ORC 1 and Kalamandurrio in ORC 2. The rest of the classes, by not meeting the number of ships to form class, are awarded the RCN of Denia and FVCV trophy.
