Carlos Ordoñez y Leticia Pelayo revalidate the title of Champions of Asturias of Snipe. José Palacio is again second, on this occasion accompanied by Alberto Suárez, the third square was obtained by Jaime Álvarez Hevia and Juan García-Ovies.

The scheduled sleeves were not held on Saturday because the loose wind and roll prevented a stable race field, with a minimum of guarantees to be able to dispute the tests. On Sunday, however, the two sleeves planned with Northeast between 8 and 10 knots of intensity were celebrated, the sea with wave formed more than 2 meters high, which sometimes caused the fleet to disappear on the horizon, on a summer day.

The two sleeves were very contested, with changes in the fleet's head. Carlos Ordoñez and Leticia Pelayo, who defended the title, held a fight without barracks, with José Palacio and Alberto Suárez, who in one of the sections led the race. In the end Ordoñez and Pelayo crossed the first line of arrival in the two trials and are again, champions of Asturias.

The second square was obtained by José Palacio and Alberto Suárez, who would finish second in the two sleeves. The third position was also very disputed, between Jaime Álvarez- Hevia and Juan García- Ovies on the one hand, and Francisco Silvela and Carlos Alvarez on the other.

The balance bowed in favour of the couple formed by, Alvarez-Hevia and Garcia-Ovies who finished third in the two trials, pursued by Francisco Silvela and Carlos Alvarez, rooms in the sleeves and in the general.
