The Mambo, by José Luis García Rivero winner of the first edition of the Spanish Association Against Cancer's Solidarity Regata held last Saturday in Gijón, a test organized by the Real Club Astur de Regatas.

The test was held under the Regata a la Inversa or "against the clock," with steps at intervals corresponding to the compensated time... were 10 miles, in which the participants enjoyed winds of up to 10 knots, with a good sea... this caused the arrival to be very tight, with the fleet gathered.

The round-trip of approximately 10 miles, was held with wind of 8 to 10 knots and good sea, in a fast test where the ships arrived very together to the line of arrival.

The award was then held in the marina, where members of the Spanish Association against the Cancer of Gijón, appreciated the fleet's participation in the test. There were also thanks to Maritime of the Principality and to Janel Cuesta for the sponsorship, and to the marina of Gijón and Oxiplant for their cooperation.
