After the first two tests, which were left blank by the wind conditions, the organizing committee tried in that third test to complete two tests on the day of Saturday, March 23.

The day at least ended with the planned barbecue for the fleet after the completion of the test that was not completed.
With this in mind, the 'Circuito Mar Menor' is being kept blank waiting for better wind conditions for the third test to take place next Saturday, March 23, at the headquarters of the Club de Regatas Mar Menor Los Urrutia. In the absence of being able to point out in the first two tests for these wind conditions, the organizing committee has plans to be able to complete two tests, although the routes are to be defined, it is studied to be able to complete a coastal route and then a regatta to the wind: barlovento-sotavento.
