In the main hall of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo took place the already traditional award of trophies of the two Open of the year, the Repsol and the Autumn, with the assistance of the manager of the Marina and Fisheries of Repsol in Galicia, Inés González, and the delegate of Social Affairs of the Nautico, Belén Estévez

"SND Cormorán" by Francisco Martínez, a flag of the Royal Nautical Vigo Club in ORC 1-4 and the "Marara IV" by Javier Montenegro and Vanessa Martínez, Club Marítimo Rías Baixas in A2, were awarded on Saturday the Open of Autumn of Cruises ORC, which was closed after three Saturdays of competition in which 11 units of six Galician and Luso nautical clubs participated.

The series concluded with a reverse race of 7.6 miles to Lousal, that is, exits of the ships as a cyclist counter watch but with times to defend, which forced patterns and crews to give the maximum.

The "April Oils" was imposed in the afternoon joint (ORC 1-4), but the Pérez Canal brothers, on a day with winds of about 12 knots, had to be used to the maximum to achieve partial triumph. However, his first position was insufficient because the "Cormorán" signed an unattainable 3-2-3 (8 points) for both the oil ship and the "Unus" of Luis García of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, who paid for the failure to compete in one of the two previous days and totaled 10 and 11 points, respectively.

In A Two, the "Marara IV" also won by constancy and regularity. He had signed two second places in the previous tests and with his second place in the third race he had taken the title... because the leader, "Salano dos" of Jacobo Vecino and Brenda Maure of the Nautico Vigues did not compete on the decisive day. The ship of Montenegro and Martínez was able to control their adversaries to finish the 2-2-2 and 6-point series. On Saturday, "Alalunga" was imposed by Rodrigo Rodríguez and Carlos Cárdenas of the Canido Maritime Club.

The fleet of ORC Cruises will take the Ria de Vigo again on 12 January, and with the first day of the Open Repsol.
