By not getting the number of registered in ORC 1 set out in the regulation, the fleet has been integrated with the ORC 2, to which belongs the Coello Synergy 40, thus forming a single group: ORC 1-2.

This situation has left the cartagJanuary without the title he has won in his group, as the RCR Cartagena ship has ended in the second square tied with the April Pez (CN Portmán) bat of José María Meseguer, both with 7.5 points. The partial triumph in the last test of the Swan 42 of Portmán has decanted in his favor the balance and be able to take it away. The card, in the last test, has concluded second.

That fact was to be decisive for the end of the Tembra trophy, in addition to the results produced in the last test.

13 / 07 / 2019: "El Carmen Elite Sails" wins the turn to Tabarca and dominates in the Diputación de Alicante de Vela

The second day has been marked by the very bad wind conditions, with a delay of about two hours and with the short tour, with the arrival on the island instead of its usual location in the vicinity of the club

The Carmen Elite Sails, by José Coello, under the grympola of the centenary Real Club de Regatas de Cartagena has taken a giant step to get with the Tenca Trophy Vela Diputación de Alicante by winning in the coastal race to the island of Tenca. A second day which has been marked by the very bad wind conditions, with almost 2 hours behind schedule at 11.30 a.m. and taking place at 1.18 p.m.

That little wind has also forced the race committee to make a difficult decision as the test that marks a before and a later on the Sicantine quote was at stake on the table. The first decision was to annul the first planned test with a barlovento-sotavento stick of 2 dyed and 2 sopas and from there set the course to the island, instead and after the exit and take the beacon of dismarking the fleet has set way to Tabarca.

The second and most important, in view of the lack of wind in almost the entire stretch, has been to shorten the route on the beacon 2 on the island so the fleet has finally completed a journey of 12.4 miles instead of the almost 25 that were established.

A very complicated race for all, although Synergy 40 has been able to work and exploit the ship to the maximum in these difficult conditions to be located in 'comfortable' positions in the fleet's head group that after the dismantling beacon has stretched a lot. After obtaining the compensated times El Carmen has been made with the partial triumph, second in Alicante and it gives a slight and small advantage to face the third and last day with 2 barlovento-sotavento tests.

The cartagJanuary is 2.5 points by 5 that currently holds the Bat Pez de Abril (CN Portmán), second on the return to the island, and 5.5 that has the Valencian Brujo (RCN Valencia) that has signed a fourth place today. The third square on the coast to Tocarca has been for the Alteano Guaguanco II (CN Altea).
