The Carmen- Elite Sails, armed by José Coello and sailing through the Real Regatas Club of Cartagena, counting on this race with Pablo Meca and Jesús Ros, was proclaimed the absolute winner of the 300 Miles A3 Trofeo Grefusa, organized by the CN Moraira.

Coello's Synergy 40, after a very good way out began leading the test... after the first compasses the fleet stretched to reach the island of Grosa, the moment the wind came to record 22-kt points of intensity used by the ships of larger length to scratch a few miles.

Those wind conditions left many ships without options, choosing to withdraw... the rest of the fleet had a hard and hard job to get to Moraira. The Valencian Ziving Badia (Grand Soleil 46), with Javier Arbona, Bruno García and Willy García, were the first to arrive at the port of Moraira, whose entrance took place after 01,00 hours on Saturday... after it came the Wizard, also from the nautical Valencia, with just 3 minutes difference, being the third Hydra of the CN El Balís, just over 16 minutes from the first.

After getting the times compensated the triumph in the 300 Milas A3 Moraira Trofeo Grefusa and the 3,000 euros were for the cartagJanuary El Carmen@-@ Elite Sails of José Coello. The Cartagena RCR's Synergy 40 was the 6th ship to take the arrival of the 11 who have completed the test on 20 who took the exit.

The second square of the absolute general, in addition to the trophy are taken 2,000 euros, is for Ziving Badia, while Brujo is made with the third square and the prize in cash of 1,000 euros. This is the link to the results.

The 300 Miles A3 of Moraira - Grefusa Trophy have already set out to Isla Grosa, after the 24 hours postponement as a result of the temporal Gloria that has left mark, even at the level of participation, as of the 25 ships that were to take the exit at the end have been only 19 that have faced the challenge of this high race.

The exit has been given in a timely manner at 12: 00 hours, with a wind of Levante that has not exceeded 6 knots of intensity by blowing aft to the fleet grouped by the visor ship, which after expanding the spis, has been decanted on the left side of the race field, looking for a light breeze and clean wind towards Benidorm.

For the time being and save for last-minute changes and according to wind conditions, the Regatas Committee maintains this journey in the form of a triangle. After departure, the first step has been established in Isla Grosa (Murcia Region), waiting for the first units to arrive between 11 p.m. on Thursday or 00 a.m. on Friday 24.

Once this "first step" is over, the fleet will have to take a beacon between Moraira and Calpe and then set its way to the island of Tembra by finally taking a step through a beacon located in the vicinity of the Moraira Nautical Club and from there to the line of arrival.

If the wind forecasts are maintained, at the moment the fleet sails with little more than 8 knots, and with a forecast of about 10-12 knots of intensity from the Northeast with the glowing logic of the night, the first ships to arrive in Moraira will do so from 2100 hours on Friday.
