On Sunday, the fourth day of the Autumn of Light Sailing Trophy of the Regatas Club was held in the waters of Gijón Bay. After an hour of postponement in the water, a moderate Northeast was established, which was increasing in intensity until reaching 16 knots points during the second sleeve, on a sunny day and wind sea.

Both sleeves were very contested, José Palacio and Alberto Suárez who left leaders maintain the leadership after first crossing the line of arrival in the two races, followed very closely by Francisco Silvela and Francisco Gómez, very attached to the leaders during the two trials. The third position in the first race was for the Kaiser, by Álvaro Alegría, while, in the second manga, José Luis De la Rubia and Pablo García would end up in third place.

The third was the defeat, after having twice suspended for weather reasons the beginning of the Autumn of the Light Sailing Trophy, at last it was possible to celebrate a manga of the two planned for the day, as the second had to be annulled by a role of more than 90 degrees, accompanied by the rise of the wind and the instability in the field of races.

The snipes were the only participating class because the rest of the competing classes in the Trophy were haggling outside the region.

The wind in the first and only held sleeve blew from the Northeast with an intensity of 7 to 10 knots. However, in the second race the wind rolled south, rising to 17 knots and very unstable, when the Regatas Committee decided to override the current sleeve.

The first to cross the arrival line was the couple formed by José Palacio and Alberto Suárez, without a doubt, one of the favorite crews to take the Trophy. The second position was obtained, the young Francisco Silvela and Francisco Gómez, with very good projection and who sure fought to get up to the top of the drawer. The third square was for Alvaro Alegría and Juan García- Ovies, very regular in all the background tests such as the Autumn Trophy and with clear options to triumph,
