In the championship for the world scepter held last July in the French town of Les Sables d'Olonne, the sailboat led by the lanzaroteño Rayco Tabares not only added its fifth title, but also the fourth in a row, following the 2015 wins in Kiel, 2016 in Sotogrande and 2017 in Southampton. The first of the world's cetros had achieved this in 2009 in Santander.

The "Hotel Princesa Yaiza" signed this absolute record in the history of the 8-meter-long monotypes representing the Royal Nautical Club of Arrecife and with a crew of champions on board.

The first picked it up in 2016, as a pattern of the year, after having achieved, at just 32 years old, its third world championship, something that no one had achieved so far.

The Jury awarded by the awards wanted to recognize the 470 female tandem for its spectacular sports career this year, a tour that they sealed with silver at the World Olympic Sailing Championship held this August in Aarhus, Denmark, with which they managed to classify Spain for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Mas, from the Nàutic Arenal Club, and Cantero, from the Royal Nautical Club of Gran Canarias, began to sail together just two years ago, after completing the projects they maintained with their previous partners, and since then they have achieved great regularity. They train in Mediterranean and Atlantic waters, supported by their respective clubs, and their first official competition was the 48th Princess Sofia Trophy, in which they premiered as a team with a third meritorious position.

His last great feat was the silver obtained at the World Olympic Sailing Championship, held this August in Denmark, and his goal is now at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, as his ultimate aspiration today is to be the Spanish ones representing the country in the 470 class and to go home with a medal.
