For class 2.4, the first 10 of the general class, the same is true of the fleet of the male and female Hansa. However, for the RS Venture class, a format is followed by elimination, where only the first classified of the trials contested so far has secured their presence in the final, the other finalist will come out of the elimination among those who occupy the first 7 positions of the general of his class.

The 12 tests scheduled and disputed in class 2.4 have for the moment had a brilliant domino, which is no other than the French Damien Seguin, his exhibition has been such that he takes out the second classified 16 points, obtaining in its partial 9 first positions, two seconds and the worst, which he has ruled out, has been a fourth.

05 / 07 / 2019: Violet of the leading Kingdom of the Women's Hansa in the World Sailing for in Puerto Sherry

En la jornada del sábado, ultima del formato que se ha venido utilizando hasta ahora, se determinaran que barcos pasaran el domingo a disputar la denominada “medal race” que será la que otorgue los títulos y defina la composición final de los podios de cada clase

On the Saturday day, the last of the format that has been used so far, ships will be determined to spend Sunday to dispute the so-called "medal race" that will be the one that will grant the titles and define the final composition of the podiums of each class

When Ecuador meets this "la Caixa" World Championship of Adapted Sailing that is organizing Puerto Sherry, the Mallorcan regatist Violet of the Kingdom, comfortably leads the female Hansa 303 class, with a 4-point advantage, over the Polish Gornas, with which it was tied yesterday in the first position of the table with 12 points.

Violet Recital of the Kingdom in the female Hansa 303 class, with a first, second and fifth partial, which with the discard of the worst result, makes it add 20 points, 4 less than the Polish Gornas with 28, and which has not had a day as round as yesterday, today has only been able to add two third and a sixth place.

The third square is for Brazilian Gonçalves with 28, very regular is a dangerous rival and that may still be in the fight for the tyrul. The fifth position is for the other Spanish representative, the also Majorcan Jana Mestre, of the same club as the leader and with a total score of 36 points, something far from the podium, but that has not been inconvenient for today to have marked two first positions.

The one that goes as an authentic "bike" is the French Damien Seguin, this representative of the SON of Nantes, is from another galaxy, both for the team that assists him, and for the development of the monotype 2.4 where he sails and the materials he uses. Today the first three have been marked with much difference over the second, which has been in the first two tests the Italian Schizzato and in the third and last the Spanish of the RCM and Tennis de Punta Umbria, Arturo Montes.

Behind the untouchable French navigator already with 11 point less than the second the Italian Schizzato with 21, and third is the Norwegian Erikstad with 24.

The first Spanish remains Arturo Montes, who retains the same position as yesterday, although he has reduced to 4 points the difference that separates him from the third step of the podium occupied by the Norwegian representative.

The rest of the Spanish fleet that continues to keep six ships in the "top ten" is classified in the fifth position occupied by the regatist of Palamós, Jordi Cargol, in the seventh place is also Catalan Paco Llobet and the decimal place is for the local Borja Melgarejo, which has descended from the sixth that he occupied yesterday. At the doors of this provisional top ten is already the pliers of the CN of Javea, Rafa Andarias, who has finally been in the positions that his contrasting category was.

The fleets of male Hansa 303 and RS Venture, are the most tested, because they are the much shorter routes than those of the 2.4. The fact that they have to change ships at the end of the tests of the two groups, blue and yellow, in which they are divided, slow the dynamics of the race that is being very high.

The Canadian dupla Mcroberts-Lute continues to dominate the general of the RS Venture in hard bid with the two Italians Olmi-Di Maria in second place and Gualandris-Giampetro, with 12, 16 and 22 points each. The Barroso Bats of Maria- Vives, have fallen from third to seventh, as in the last two tests yesterday, they were disqualified by protests from their rivals. It is a pity that with the posts obtained in today's three tests, first, fourth and third, they would have strengthened their third position and put a great deal of effort into the second.

Among the male Hansa 303, the Polish Chichocki, remains leader with 10 points, the second place is for the Australian Symonds with 18 and the third for the representative of Taipei Wu with 22. The first Spanish in the 12th place for the Mallorcan Toni Ferra with 47.
