The RCR regatist of Alciante achieved the 3rd place in Vigo, with a participation of 247 regatists last November. As early as 2019, between 1 and 5 January, Campos was able to finish the 20 in Andalusian waters of El Puerto de Santa Maria, a race that brought together a total of 155 participants. Already close to his house, in the Trophy Euromarina Optimist Torrevieja, with 368 registered the young regatites concluded in place 33 of the absolute general and already in the last, disputed this weekend in Palamós, has managed to end in place 55 of a fleet that has reached the 533 participants.
The equality between the circuit fleet, one of the most prestigious within the Optimist class, has been evidenced by the very short margins in the ranking, proof of this has been the fourth, fifth and sixth place in which they have been equal to points, with 257, the Maayan Shemesh fema of Israel, the Pau Mesquida (CN S'Arenal) ballet and the Portuguese Guilherme Capaco, although its different partials have provided that they occupy their respective positions in the general ranking.
But from behind the margin has also been short. Mar Mesquida, also from the nautical S'Arenal, achieves a score of 255 points, while the Irish Rocco Wright ends eighth with 241, 2 less than the Belgian Kwinten Borghijs and 5 from the Swiss Sam Nokes that closes the top ten of the general.
