He concluded the event with the photo of the winning patterns of each group with the Trophy V Centenary... in this case, a symbolic delivery of the most precious award of the Nautical Week and which only have in ownership those crews or ships that earn it three years in a row or five alternates... as this year has not occurred, the patterns of Sirius VI, Olivita and Zalata 2, could only pose with it, together with the members of the Organization

The last day of this edition of the City of Melilla Regata has been the most complicated for the fleet. Changing winds in intensity and direction, which has given more emotion if it fits the last punctuable test for the Regata Ciudad de Melilla and the Copa de España area south.

After almost one hour of deferral at sea, the Committee was leaving at 14: 20 with the fleet heading to 285th and with ten knots of intensity for a 6 '65 mile tour. The roles have led to a change in the course at 300º in the second round. At the same time, the wind was falling in intensity.

The City of Melilla-Club Marítimo took off the spinite and overtook the Sirius VI in compensation. A partial triumph, which did not compromise the final victory of the crew of the Naval Regatta Commission of Cadiz in ORC 0-1.

The duel between Olivita and Paul Fimene in ORC 3 was repeated again, this time with ponyant winds. A protest by the French boat was dismissed and finally a new partial triumph of the Melillenses of the Olivita, which thus became champions of the class, prevailed. Corporal Black One ended third, confirming himself as the third of the general as well.

The competition in ORC 4 set off a spectacular manga final with Zalata 2 and Malacca entering into a goal together after almost seven miles. Triumph in real and compensated for the carthageneros of Zalata 2, who received the recognition of their rivals, the Malagueños of the Mediterranean RC. These positions did not stop changes in the head, so all attention was focused on how the third podium would be defined.

In this way, Spa First achieved third place, but it was not enough to unblock the Kelaya podium, which with the fourth place today was enough to follow as the third of the general. The general classifications were as follows:

GROUP ORC 0-1
1 SIRIUS VI, Jorge Flethes. 6 points
2nd _

GROUP ORC 3
1 OLIVITA, Pancho Cobreros, 6 points

13 / 08 / 2018: Melilla Nautical Week ends tomorrow with almost everything decided

"Zalata 2" in his class in Melilla... the other two mandons "Sirius IV" and "Olivita"

The winners of the twenty-second edition of Melilla City Nautical Week are already on the horizon, after two sleeves have been played on Monday, which have placed closer to the triumph of Sirius VI (ORC 0-1), Olivita (ORC 3) and Zalata 2 (ORC 4)..

The Sirius VI and the City of Melilla- Club Marítimo have been a major event, for moments sailing in match race. Finally, the crew of the Naval Commission of Regatas de Cadiz has added two new first positions, but in both cases it did not reach a minute its advantage over the team of melillense regatas. Both have offered an interesting duel, in which there has been no margin of error.

The Navy crew is placed as virtual champion of the class ORC 0-1 in the absence of a test. For its part, in the group ORC 3 there has also been an intense struggle between Olivita (RCM Melilla) and Paul Fimene (RCM Sotogrande), in fact at the end of the first test the difference between the two in real was fourteen seconds, in favour of the Melillans.

The second test in ORC 3 has been noted by the Paul Fimene with more authority, which has served him to approach the leader, Olivita who has been third. For its part, Cape Negro One (Mediterranean RC) has joined two third positions. The group's general is still led by Olivita, with a two-point advantage over Paul Fimene, and seven-point over the third, Cape Black One.

Zapata 2 (RCR Cartagena) has won the two trials in ORC 4. Its main adversary was the Malacca (Mediterranean RC), which was third in the first manga of the day and second in the second test. The First Spa (RCM Melilla) has had problems with the spi on the sotavento door and this has caused you to lose the third place in the provisional general, in benefit of the Kelaya (RCM Melilla) that has been second in this sleeve.

This Tuesday we arrive at the last day with the forecast to fight a manga and thus complete the road map marked in the race instructions with five tests in total... the departure is scheduled at 13: 30 hours, to proceed at 7: 30 in the afternoon to the closing and delivery of trophies at the hotel Tryp Melilla Puerto... the general is as follows:

13 / 08 / 2018: Melilla Nautical Week: "Sirius VI," "Olivita" and "Zalata 2" leaders after the second test

"Olivita" by Pancho Cobreros leads the ORC3 Class after two days

The second test of the twentieth edition of Melilla's Nautical Week has consolidated Sirius VI, Olivita and Zalata 2 as leaders of their respective groups, following the opening race in cruises: the Regata Dos Continentes, in which the Spanish Navy's "Sirius IV" won at the absolute level.

This Sunday, a single test was carried out, in addition to yesterday's, beginning to define the first positions in each class, with the arrival of the City of Melilla Regata to its equator. A day that has started today at 15: 00, with the departure for the groups ORC 0-1 and ORC3.

The Committee has initiated the exit procedure with a heading of 020 and with an intensity of six knots. Then there have been low and high pressure, which has marked the development of the day. Today the fleet has made a 6 '9 miles tour, which has ended with 8 knots of average.

The output in group ORC 0-1 has had several incidents and off-line. At the time of the start of the competition the Sirius VI has had to change its génova to a break, which has started giving advantage to the City of Melilla-Club Marítimo that chose to leave with the Committee.

At the end of the first dyeing he had already taken the first position on the beacon 1 of the tour. In the end, the Sirius VI added its second partial win, with only 24 seconds of advantage over the City of Melilla-Club Marítimo.

The group ORC 3 is still dominated by the Olivita, which today has marked its main rival Paul Fimene. The Melillense crew has taken all the beacons in first position, after taking advantage at the exit. In this case, an off-line cruise with French flag has forced him to penalize and give away from the first moment. In third position, Cabo Negro One, from Elisa Martínez, has entered.

Zapata 2 and Malacca have starred in an impressive fight for the first place, which has finally been for the crew of RCR Cartagena, ahead of the Malacca, which after the time compensation was more than five minutes away. Third today was the first Spa, of the Carlos Díaz. The provisional classifications are as follows:

GROUP ORC 0-1
