Luis Bugallo: A star born
It ended in the incomparable Mia de Vigo, the European Championship of the class J70... perfect the organization of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo and of the Association of Owners of the class... the time accompanied, with a variopintic participation, with a high quality, canals of high prestige and a strong Hispanic representation, of more than 20 ships that in the end, were one third of the total of the participants that reached a garrison as important as suggestive: 69.
In the sea, with the waves of the medieval poet Martín Códax by witnesses, the show was impressive... in the sports part struggle between two crews above all for the continental scepter: one of the new world and one of the oldest... the first of the United States and the second of Italy...
During four days of competition it was the Americans who seemed to be going to do with the gold... but on the fifth and final day the transalpines turned to the tortilla, for that we are in Galicia, and told the Americans that the gold was going to Italy.
So far the story, which I have told more or less correctly... but to those of the candle, to whom we love this sport and we are of this land... lack the most striking, lack the third absolute square for a Galaic crew, with amateurs and much youth, with a commander in chief like the cup of a pine, with Luis Bugallo in command.
What they have managed to do these days in the river of Vigo, and especially today, Luis Bugallo and his "boys," has been something that has become part of the history of the Galician and Spanish candle... what has happened today between the waves of the "Mara de Vigo de Martín Códax", has opened a new chapter in our cruise candle, in our heavy candle... just like that day that Javier de la Gandara broke into the seas of all the world, as a maystatic pattern of "Fortuna," astonishing his own and strangers.
Luis Bugallo is an upward value, with quality and youth by raudals... those who know him know of his potential... especially José Luis Freire who had the right and the bemoles to leave him the handlebars of his competition ship "Pairo 8" when he was only 17 years old...
This for the Viguese redhead was like a bank guarantee for a company, because soon for its good performances, it aroused interest throughout Spain and was part of the Spanish team for the Young America's Cup, which led the Catalan Club Núutic Cambrils.
Today a young Viguese sportsman has made history for the Spanish candle in the Ria de Vigo, being the best of the pléyade of more than 20 teams that have represented Spain, with consecrated patterns and magnificent crews. Luis Bugallo and his crew have finished with the support of José Luis Freire a Velistic chapter... and above all they have begun to write a new one, in which international successes are surely waiting for us.
Congratulations to the "Marnatura" for its bronze medal at the European Vigo!
