The Cousin 38 "Gómez Mostly" of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, armed and patronized by Andrés Soto, has been declared the absolute winner of the Sea of Maeloc Finisterre that ended on the afternoon of Saturday in waters of Baiona Bay, with the organization of the Monte Real Club of Yates and the Nautico of La Coruña. The aim of the organizers was to break the streak of a twenty years without "Finisterre..." since that victory of the "Galicia Star" patronized by Antonio Viejo in 2000.

And the truth is that things weren't easy for the organizers... it was first postponed by the lack of wind, and then to the second to the point the lack of wind was about to send the competition to the end. After the departure of the Herculine city on Friday at 5: 00 in the afternoon, and with soft winds of 10 knots from the north-west, one of the favorites the "Alma do Mar" of Nito Enriquez had a serious breakdown in his botavara... shortly after the height of Malpica, it was the "Zopiro" of Guillermo Blanco who caused low, for a problem in his major candle... and the worst when he was third in real and first in compensated... then also "La María" of Jorge Etcheverría...

Further, the wind at night was coming down, and three abandoned, continuing in regatta the "Fresgarrido" that took the command of the race in real and about six miles away was the "Gómez Mostly..." and thus were reached with a rhythm cansino the "Illas Atlánticas," where the speed of the two ships barely raised the knots... at the end of 25 hours 47 minutes and 50 seconds, the Baltic "Fresgarrido" of José Angel Quintero reached, through the Tower of the National of the Tone, not enough to make up to the arrival of the National Area of the National of the Tone... it was not enough to make it to make up to the 38 at the arrival of the National of the National of the National of the Tone.

The next act of Mar de Maeloc will be the Rías Baixas Regata that begins next day 14, on the eve of its start will be delivered the prizes of this Finisterre at the headquarters of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo.

The beautiful Baltic 56 "Fresh"

The Cousin 38 "Gómez Mostly" patroned by Andrés Soto of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, leads in compensated time the Regata Mar de Maeloc Finisterre, which began at five o'clock on Friday, in the very very maritime center of the herculina city, with soft winds of about 10 knots, of a northwest component. In real time the dominator is the giant "Fresgarrido" armed by José Antonio Quintero, a spectacular Baltic 56, which, except for problems, will surely arrive first at Baiona Bay.

They were 20 long years without the presence of the legendary Finisterre in the national heavy sail calendar... it had been the First 40.7 "Galicia Star" with world champion Antonio Viejo, who achieved the last victory of the honor painting, beginning in 1966.

That is why there was an expectation to see if this "resuscitate" was finally realized. At five in the afternoon, with British punctuality, the Arousano Chuco Pérez Lapuente (Andrés Soto), "La Maria" (Jorge Etcheverría), "Alma do Mar" (Nito Enriquez), "Zospiro" (Guillermo Blanco), "Azahara III" (Agustín Fernández), "Virazón" (Alvaro de Torres), "(Alfonso Vilariño)," and "Alariño" (Alvaro de Torres). The inefficiency that has been heavy since 2000 had been broken.

The fleet must be in the facilities of the Mount Real Club of Yates of Baiona, throughout the morning of Saturday, as the wind predictions, speak of 15 knots from the midnight of the north-east component. In the last hour of Friday, in real time, the first was "Fresgarrido" that sailed at those times with a speed of 6.8 knots practically through Malpica; after the Baltic 56 of Quintero... "Gómez Mostly" to 6.0, "Zospiro" to 5.0 knots and "Alma do Mar" to 5.0, "La María" to 3.8, "Mascato" to to 4.5 and "Virazto" 4.1.

It has had to be no less than twenty years before the legendary race that joined the north and south of Galicia, the Finisterre Trophy... and has "resurrected" from the hand of Mar de Maeloc and the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña... the challenge was no doubt important, but finally on Friday at 5: 00 in the afternoon, in front of the "Coruñese cantons" will leave the fleet to Baiona, to the Monte Real Club of Yates... in total 120 nautical miles, in which is celebrated in the longer waters of the city.
