The J70 that competes for the Royal Nautical Arrecife Club of Lanzarote "Ono-Eurofrits-Aviko" with Alfredo González in a row, is the leader of the Villalia Spring Series, which began in Galician waters on Saturday with the organization of the J70 Class and the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo. The second square is for the time being for the "Patakín" of the Club de Mar de Mallorca patroniado by Luis Albert, while the third square is occupied by the canary regatist Luis Martínez Doreste of the Real Club Nautico of Barcelona, with "Mercedes Benz." For Sunday from 10: 00 in the morning, second day of this first act in the river of Vigo.

Good conditions of wind and sea, with winds of 6 to 10 knots from the west, and sea curled, which caused a very agile and fast day, the four sleeves planned are celebrated. The partial victories were for four different ships, which gives an idea of the tremendous equality of these Villalia Series: "Patakín" achieved the first, "Marnatura 1" the second, "Merces Benz" the third and the leader with Alfredo González the fourth and last of the Sabatino program.

There was much expectation to witness the debut of the J70 of Luis Martínez Doreeste... the reason to see if the J70 Catalans were in the wave of those who compete in Galician waters. The "Mercedes Benz" came with the Barcelona Winter Series champion's vitola... and began to achieve a seventh place, which he repeated in the second manga. The third was the winner, as he achieved a first... and on the last sleeve he stood sixth: he summed up a splendid third place. On the canary ship in all, nothing less than Ricardo Terrades, Nete Armas and the gold medal Domingo Manrique.

On the Galician side they highlighted the "Marnatura" of a very intoned Luis Bugallo that was the fourth in discord... as regards the northern Galician fleet "Solventis" had a splendid Malalo Bermudez to the cane, being the fifth provisional at the end of the day.

Surprise for two of the great favorites: "La Guardia & Moreira" by Gonzalo Araújo who was 7th and of the powerful "Noticia" of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, patronized by Pichu Torcida who was 8th. The great anecdote of the day starred in the three Orensian patterns: Luis Pèrez Canal with "April Verde" was the 11th, his son Alejandro Pérez Canal with "Bosch Service Solutions" was the 12th (tied to points with his father "and the thirteenth Jorge Pérez Canal... everything was left in the family.
