The Rías Baixas Regata for ORC Cruises and Sportboats, organized by the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, has today seen the "Pairo 8" (José Luis Freire and Luis Bugallo, RCN Vigo) in ORC 1, the "Bosch Service Solutions" in ORC 2 (Ramón Ojea, Maritimo de Canido), the "La Borea Negra" in ORC 3, the "Balea Dous" (Luis Mª Pérez, RCN Rodeira) in ORC 4 and the "Raios" (Raio II) with the "(Raio and the" Raio "(Raio") in the Open category, and the "(Raios Vaio") with the "(Raio" (Raio ").

And all in a day full of strong emotions, of a well of wind on the Costa da Vela that overthrew the advantage that the "April Oils" had at that time, or of a mistake of the "Starfighter" in the buoy de desmarque (touched it) that cost him a penalty just the day that no one could make any mistakes.

It is the Rias, where any miscalculation takes you away from glory. The same Ria who blessed the "Bionic Elk" (José Ángel Quintero, CM San Amaro) as a favorite, led the skipper to remain without a title because Yago Osuna's "Gaifar II" was able to be patient and to sentence in the second half of the trophy. And Sonia Cortázar, in the 2017 photo as a winner in Open, remained unrepeated as a shipowner.

The stage between Sanxenxo and Vigo had to be shortened, as the boat of the Regata Committee raised the flag Lima and the entire fleet followed it in search of a point to give the exit. It would be almost to the height of the beaches of Paxariñas and Montalvo and for the first time with buoy de desmarque, to face Camouco and then to launch to the Costa da Vela. It would be 18.7 nautical miles for groups 1 and 2 and 15.5 for others.

In the dismantling, "Starfighter" (Julio Rodríguez, RCN Vigo), who was a provisional leader, entered the buoy, with a passing advantage for the "Bosch," and he played it, being penalized. A setback. Meanwhile, their rivals ran away, flew away, and the battle changed references. In the Ria de Vigo, the first "April Oils" entered, but a well condemned him. The "Pairo 8" sought the Cies to find wind, found it and flew. The "Solventis" of Malalo Bermudez also stopped and Freire and Bugallo flew towards the resale of the title. After giving in Sanxenxo a week before the Gallego de Cruises ORC to "Solventis," they now rightly defended their victory last summer in a complicated Rías Baixas.

In ORC 3 "La Bella Negra" (Juan José Martínez, CN Castrelo do Miño), he reregistered his name in the Navigant Cup. He was watched with the "Maracaná I" (Luis Suárez, RCN Vigo), as they were tied to six points, and in Subrido he took advantage of it. 56 seconds of difference worth a Rias.

In ORC 4, the "Balea Dous" (Luis Mª Pérez, RCN Rodeira) added to its third stage victory - and was a champion - and the "Bionic Elk" (José Ángel Quintero, CM San Amaro) was eighth in compensation despite sailing at incredible speed and the "Gaifar II" (Yago Osuna, MRCY Baiona), fifth in corrected time, was raised with the title by a point (12 by 13). It is the only champion ship that has not won a single stage - this was taken by the "Moucho," subchampion - but has received the prize for its regularities.

13 / 08 / 2018: Julio Rodríguez the weapon in the Regata Rías Baixas when he beat against prognosis in Sanxenxo

"Balea Dous" in ORC 4 and "Enersys" in Sportboats are already winners of their categories no matter what happens in the stage... that will be held between Sanxenxo-A Pobra, and that will decide the rest of the classes, with change of leadership in ORC 3 and Ramón Ojea close to their third consecutive victory in the Rías Baixas (Photo Juan Caballero)

The Rías Baixas Regata for Cruises ORC and Sportboats that organizes the Real Nautical Club of Vigo already has winner in ORC 4 ("Balea Dous," Luis Mª Pérez, RCN Rodeira), which reproduces the title of 2017, and in Sportboats ("Enersys," Willy Alonso, RCN Vigo "), in the addition of its J70 three triumphs in other days, but in the rest of the class, the" Alcaravan "will come to the final day..." the last act between Sanxeno and the last few years, "that will be decided to the" in the same time of the "the" of the "of the" Pago, "and the" of the "of the" that it is the "of the" the "most dangerous of the"

With an exit close to the island of Rúa after a 45-minute delay, the fleet leaving from A Pobra to Sanxenxo was facing a similar route to last summer at the same stage, for groups 1 and 2, and a little longer for the rest of the units (15.8 miles now compared to 14.6 in edition 54). In a close-up, the fleet began with 6-7 knots and then did not fall from the 7-8. As always, the Basque "Maitena" (Mikel Emaldi, Marítimo de Abra) took his head in real time at the height of San Vicente do Mar, with "Solventis" on his heels, an excellent "Arroutado" (José María Pérez, RCN Portosín) and two ships of the Viguese Nautico, the "Oils Abril" (Pérez Canal brothers) and the leader, "Pairo 8," behind. A scenario similar to the previous day.

In Camouco, the "Maitena" half-minute to Malalo Bermudez de Castro (MRCY Baiona), just over two minutes to "Arroutado," four to the oil ship and almost six minutes to the Farr 39 ML of Freire and Bugallo. Few differences thinking of the time compensated, while the "Starfighter," this year's "cover," was 8: 50 minutes from the representative of the Cantabrian fleet. And there the First 40.7 of Julio Rodríguez (RCN Vigo) was to be done with the triumph. They did not put enough time in him and in the last turn in the beacon tower of Bajo Cabezo de Mourisca held the pull.

Thus, a win in corrected for the "Starfighter," which recovered the lead of the first day, followed in the stage by "Oils April" and "Solventis," 49 seconds and 1: 37 minutes. The "Arrouted" remained a second (1: 38) of the stage podium. In general, Rodríguez's ship amounts to 7 points, with Malalo and the Pérez Canal two (9) and the "Pairo 8" three (10).

In ORC 2, victory for the second consecutive year of the "Inosa" (Francisco Edreira, RCN Vigo) in stage A Pobra-Sanxenxo, although the "Bosch Service Solutions" (Ramón Ojea, Marítimo de Canido), second, has it practically done: it adds 4 points for the 7 Dehler 36 JV of Edreira. The consecutive "Bosch" tricampeonate, 20 miles away.

In ORC 3 "La Burla Negra" (Juan José Martínez, CN Castrelo do Miño) finished third, won in compensation the "Santinimño Lener" (José Luis Alonso, Real Club Astur de Regatas)... and "Maracaná I" (Luis Suárez, RCN Vigo), second, he faces the leader with 6 points, relegating the ship of Martínez to the second square, but tied to points.

In ORC 4, the "Balea Dous" (Luis Mª Pérez, RCN Rodeira) was second and already mathematically champion, while the "Bionic Elk" (José Ángel Quintero, CM San Amaro) punched (fourth in ORC Open) and the "Gaifar" (Yago Osuna, MRCY Baiona), second in compensation in the stage, is placed to a single point in the general (6 by 7).

The 55 Rías Baixas Regata for Cruises ORC and Sportboats organized by the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo lived a second day in which the "Bosch Service Solutions" (Ramón Ojea, Marítimo de Canido) consolidated its leadership in ORC 2 (two stages, two triumphs) and in ORC 1 the current title defender, the "Pairo 8" (José Luis Freire and Luis Bugallo, RCN Vigo) showed its gallons. The Farr 39 ML signed a second position in compensated time and was placed as a new leader. On Saturday the "Starfighter" of Julio Rodríguez, this time the "Pairo 8." The point is, the Nautical's grompola is still at the front.

It was a complicated day for the Regatta Committee. As if it were the feast of the Carmen, the Ria de Pontevedra ran into an involuntary maritime procession. The fog had come in and the fleet had to look for a new starting line. He tried to match the Aguete Sea Club after the start in front of the Naval School was frustrated, but neither. Finally, two hours after the plan, at the height of Sanxenxo, all classes were in action. The tour, reduced to 20.1 miles for the "pure blood" and 18.3 miles for the rest of the classes.

The Viguese fleet shone, but it also turned out to be a great Sunday for the Bermudez de Castro. The "Solventis" (MRCY Baiona), with Manuel "Malalo" Bermudez de Castro (A Coruña, 1972) on the cane, was imposed in compensated time in ORC 1. The "Basque" Maitena (Mikel Emaldi) was again the best in real time (2: 51.38 hours inverted), with the ship of the second Coruñés pattern (2: 54.43) and the "Pairo 8" of José Luis Freire and Luis Bugallo in third place (3: 01.46).

In compensation, after the "Solventis" two ships were placed with the grympola of the Viguese Nautico, the "Pairo 8," at 1: 56 minutes, and the Firts 44.7 "Oils Abril," at 2: 03 minutes. I mean, the favorites got in the drawer together after the first day's surprise.

The battle had been intense. With 4-6 knots, the "Arroutado" (José María Pérez, RCN Portosín) marked the platoon to Cabicastro; in Bajo Camouco it was already the "Solventis" the ship that was in head; after its turn, "Maitena" (Mikel Emaldi, Abra) and "Arroutado" at a minute and a half, "Oils Abril" (brothers Pérez Canal, RCN Vigo) two minutes, four minutes, the "Pairo 8" and six and a half the provisional leader, the "Starfighter."

The afternoon was a duel between "Solventis" and "Maitena" for arriving first in real, while the "Pairo 8" measured distances and "Starfighter" and "Clínicas Gaias" (José María Peiño, RCN Portosín) lost a little bit. At the entrance of the Ria de Arousa there were already more than ten minutes above the First 40.7 of Rodríguez.

And to overcome the party, Roberto Bermudez de Castro, "Chuny" (A Coruña, 1970), at the "Bosch Service Solutions" (Ramón Ojea, Marítimo de Canido), added his second consecutive stage win in this edition. He is a stranded leader (2 points against 6 of "Inosa" and 7 of "Milaneza" luso). Ojea sails launched for its third consecutive Rías in the class.

This time, however, the victory of the Elan 37 came with a short real-time difference of 2: 21 minutes over the second classified of the day, the "Inosa (Francisco Edreira, RCN Vigo).

In ORC 3, he commands "La Burla Negra" (Juan José Martínez, CN Castrelo do Miño) with 3 points after his first place on Saturday and the second place today, but the "Maracaná I" (Luis Suárez, RCN Vigo) imposed itself in compensation and shortened differences to one point (sum a total of 4).

In ORC 4, the "Balea Dous" (Luis Mª Pérez, RCN Rodeira) won again and continues to defend the 2017 scepter. After the mating disaster on the Costa da Vela, it barely has rivals.

In ORC Open, the "Bionic Elk" (José Ángel Quintero, CM San Amaro) was again the first to reach the goal of the entire Rías fleet (2: 35.22 hours), although with less travel than groups 1 and 2, and it dominates its class of street.

In Sportboats, the J70 "Enersys" by Willy Alonso (RCN Vigo) won again, with the Platu 25 luso "Terceira Idade" second and the J80 del Monte Real (Cristina González) third.

For Monday the third act of the Rías Baixas with exit at one in the afternoon, with a beautiful route between A Pobra do Caramiñal and Sanxenxo, with 23.5 miles of journey.

11 / 08 / 2018: "Starfighter" and "Bosch Service Solutions," lead the Rías Baixas Regata in Commud

"Starfighter" in ORC 1 and "Bosch Service Solutions" in ORC 2 are the first provisional leaders of the fifty-fifth edition of the Rías Baixas Regata, which began on Saturday 15 minutes later than planned, without dismarking, pending the best wind for a Vigo- Commud stage finally of 25.4 miles. With three exits per group every five minutes, the ria was dyed with candles.

The day, with spectacular time to follow the fleet from the Paseo de Alfonso XII, that of Bouzas or the pier of Transatlantic, gave a regatta for the memory: the "Starfighter" (Julio Rodríguez, RCN Vigo), winner last summer in the third stage between A Pobra and Sanxenxo, has been imposed in compensated time, placing itself ahead of the a priori favorites of Group 1, in which he defends the title "Pairo 8" (José Luis Freire and Luis Bugallo).

The "Maitena" (Maritime of the Abra), a Corel 45 with the Basque Mikel Emaldi to the wheel, took the victory in real time (4 hours, 10 minutes and 28 seconds), with 7: 22 minutes on the "Solventis" (Malalo Bermudez, MRCY Baiona) and with the "Pairo 8" and the "Oils Abril" (Pérez Canal brothers, RCN Vigo) at 30 seconds and 3: 20, respectively, of the Herculine regatist. But in time compensated the ship representative of the Cantabrian fleet went down to the ninth place from a very tactical race. Julio Rodríguez first took out 10 seconds to the Gaias Clinic (José María Peinó, RCN Portosín), 56 seconds to the "Pairo 8," 1: 10 to the First 44.7 oil and 4: 48 to the GS46 S of Malalo. You thought there'd be no surprises? Well, there are.

A 240-year-old wind accompanied the fleet initially; "Aprilos" had the command to the Costa da Vela, with "Solventis" and "Maitena" very tight and "Pairo 8" to the stalk, sailing with 6-7 knots that sometimes went to 10. In a second group, with the buoy of Subrido as reference, they ran "Bosch," "Starfighter," "Kraken," "Gaias Clinics" and "Inosa." Eolo made mute, the fleet regrouped and sought the northern island of Cis to recover knots. The race was changing. "Maitena" assumed the lead, "Pairo 8" and "Solventis" pursued him with the Pérez Canal, Ojea, Peinó, Julio Rodríguez and the "Txole" of Ignacio Sánchez (MRCY Baiona) in the group of favorites.

In the back, the "Bionik Elk" (José Ángel Quintero, CM San Amaro), armed by Sonia Cortázar - winner in 2017- and of ORC Open, flew to complete its short 19-mile tour (as it is vulgarmente said, he threw down the middle street and went right), before the rest of the fleet stopped in dry on the Costa da Vela for almost two hours. In fact, the 17-metre Baltic 56 of the Coruñesa was the first to reach the finish line at 17: 42 hours (invested 3: 42 hours).

In the group with the longest route, the "Maitena" was turning the Bajo de Camouco beacon with advantage while the "Pairo 8" seemed to escape from "Solventis" and "Oils Abril," but the battle was also fought back: no more than one or two miles from Peinó and Rodríguez, who in the end they were collided in general in compensated time. In Morrazan, the situation was identical. Finally, the "Solventis" overtook the "Pairo 8" Military Naval School in Marin, although the difference was too short: half a minute in real it left them with 3: 52 against it in compensation.

In ORC 2, Ramón Ojea and his Elan 37, champion in 2016 and 2017, sums up and follows: eighth stage victory since in 2013 the Rías was reduced to four days and class domain in real time (4: 34.04) and in compensation, with 14: 43 minutes on the Grand Soleil 37 B "Milaneza," from the Luso Rui Amorim (CVA Porto). Third, the "Ozosana" (Juan Carlos Pérez Olmedo, CN Commud). Ojea had the Spanish oceanic regatist with more disputed World Rits, the Coruñés Chuny Bermudez de Castro. A luxury for the Rias.
"La Burea Negra" (Juan José Martínez, CN Castrelo do Miño) in ORC 3 and "Balea Dous" (Luis Mª Pérez, RCN Rodeira) in ORC 4 were imposed on their groups and defended with solvency the title obtained 12 months ago. From the destruction of the Costa da Vela, the "Centos," the "Villano" and the "Maracaná I" were barely saved.
