02 / 11 / 2019: Marc Mesquida de s'Arenal leader of the Meeting of Optimist in Vigo before the final day

The wind conditions in the Ria de Vigo have improved in the second day, although that is with rain, allowing to close three more tests that were left pending for the blue and red fleet, thus completing four tests to give way to the final series.

The second day of the Atlantic City of Vigo Week has been much more benevolent with the regatists, at least because of the wind conditions as it has remained between the 8-15 knots on an axis that oscillates between the 220th and the 240º, although the rain has not given truce, making an act of presence on more than one occasion.

The Marc Mesquida (CN S'Arenal) ballast, in the blue group, has been almost perfect, as today it has added three partial wins in the first three tests, but... In the fourth and last one off-line marked a BFD in his locker. It is for this reason that the shooting has been able to remove that partial by first remaining on the table with 3 points.

In this provisional general classification, the Portuguese Augusto Castelo Branco (SAD) and Francisco Uva (CN Casacais) have been very regular. The first competing the red group and the second with the blue with Mesquida. Castelo-Branco remains only 1 point from the shooting, thanks to the 6-1-1-2 partials. Gva, for its part, has signed 3-6-3-1, keeping a nice match with Mesquida especially in the first test of the day.

Aina Garau (CN S'Arenal), very close to the podium square as it closes its participation with 8 points, occupying the 4th square, is located leader in females. The shooting has sailed in the yellow fleet and if yesterday it achieved a work 3rd square today it has gone from more to less, torn with a brilliant 2nd place, then 3rd and ended 5th in the last of the day.

The provisional top ten is closed with the Portuguese Teresa Quartin (CV Tejo), starting the day with a BFD, but then improving with partials of 1-4, adding a total of 9 points, the same as the third female of the table (6th of the absolute general), the balar Alejandra Lencina (CN S'Arenal). The local Pablo Astiazarán (RCN Vigo) is 7th with 10 points, followed by Pablo Rodríguez (CN Rodeira), Andrés Barreiro (CM Canido), both with 13 points, and in the 10th square Mencía Casas (RCN Sanxenxo) that amounts to 14 points.

Tomorrow Sunday third and last day in which the final series will be held... the meteorology will remain in the same line as in these two days.
