All classes managed to score, even the three laser classes, as well as the masters.

Mala pina offered the Ria de Vigo at 11: 00 a.m., which was the time set for the beginning of the sleeves... to the point the judges ordered the fleet to stay in the port of Canido waiting for the fog to rise. Little by little this was happening, but another problem appeared: the lack of wind. Despite this at the least opportunity, when they blew about 3 to 4 knots from the northwest, the ships were ordered to go down and the competition started with 5 knots. The bad thing is that the little existing wind rolled 40 degrees, and two exits had to be cancelled.
