As was the case at the Meeting of Viana do Castelo last week, the second of the three days of the Meeting International Cidade de Vigo took place without any race.

When only two trials are held for now, the Friday groups remain in force and leader (Jaime Ayarza, RCN Gran Canaria) and second classified (Javier Ojeda, RCN Gran Canaria) will sail in the red group, along with Nuno Meijide (RCN Vigo, 11th), Simón Codoñer (RCN Valencia, 12th) and Aitor Carton (Marítimo del Abra, 13th). In the blue, Miguel Campos (RCR of Alicante), who goes third in the general, has three rivals of the Provisional Top Ten: Mateo Codoñer (RCN Valencia), Marie Pintelon (DOC Belgium) and Álvaro

Alonso (RCN Gran Canaria), fifth to seventh of the table, respectively. And with them, the Viguese regatist Stella Enríquez (RCN Vigo, 19th) and the luso Guilherme Capaco (GCN Faro), which is second in the computation of Viana and Vigo regats, the classification decided by the Atlantic Week champion of Optimist.

Optimist Atlantic Week can end the Spanish domain of the last two editions. The Belgian Kwinten Borghijs (DOC Belgium), who will sail in the yellow group, is leader of the title of the A-B Divisions with 24 points (series 3-1-1-1-2-1 in Viana and 12-3 in Vigo). There's no discards in the week. Capaco, a regatist of the Algarve, has gone down to the second square: he had joined six first places in Portugal, but on Friday he signed a nineteenth and a nineteenth that put him with 37. In C, Mariana Martins (CN Tavira), third in the Vigués meeting, is the interim leader of the Week (25 points), with ten of advantage over Jannis Rauterberg Tomaz (CV de Lagos).

02 / 11 / 2018: Pio, pio... the canaries command in Vigo after the first day of the Meeting of Optimist

The Rías fleet may have had more prominence but Bruno Ameneiro (RCN Sanxenxo), a subchampion in Viana do Castelo, was one of the UFD on the first exit. It cost him 84 points but then he was able to win the second test of his group, the blue one, to go up to position 117. Easy. Much remains to be fought, not in vain the pontevedrés is one of the favorites to get the title of Atlantic Week 2018.

After a quiet afternoon of protests the classification placed Jaime Ayarza, with two first in the red group, and his club partner Javier Ojeda (RCN Gran Canaria), with two seconds, as first and second, respectively, with 2 and 4 points. After them, Miguel Campos (RCR Alicante), who with a seventh and a second in the blue group amounts to 9 points, the same as Brecht Zwaenepoel (Royal Yatch Club van Belgie), who in the yellow group signed a second and a seventh.

The Belgian was seventeenth in Vigo in 2017. Mateo Codoñer (RCN Valencia) won the first test in the blue fleet, but went to the eleventh place in the second race of the afternoon, down to the fifth place in the general.
