Third day of excellence in the bay of Cadiz to fire the four kinds of light candle that have competed during the first three days of the 49 Nautical Week of El Puerto de Santa María. With the first leaders already placed in the palmarés, tomorrow Friday it will be the fleet of Cruciero that captures all the protagonism, with the first tests for this class in 'the dean' and the simultaneous beginning of the twenty-sixth edition of the Regata Juan de la Cosa. For both, the curtain rises at 4: 00.

The young Patricia Bañez is confirmed absolute champion and female Sub 16 in the Optimist class. RCMT regatist Punta Umbria gets a large income without her main rival in the target, the young Arturo Arauz of the CN Puerto Sherry, having been able to do anything to avoid it. The title defender signs the absolute subchampionship and gets the male title by validating a third on this final day. The podium is completed by the young Adriana Serra, of the RCMT Punta Umbria, who comes out the big door as the winner of the test that has put an end to the race. The Sub 13 championships are also confirmed by Rodrigo Luis González of the CDN Punta Umbria, who signs a seventh place in the general, and Alba Moreno of the CR Madrid, from the tenth absolute square. Among the smallest - category Sub 11 - the winners are Mar Infante, a member of the RCMT Punta Umbria team, and Javier Soto of the CN Puerto Sherry.

The effect of the crew of Fernando and Carlos Flethes in the 420 class, where the regatists of the CN Puerto Sherry have access to the first place to proclaim themselves champions of the Nautical Week and the Cup of Andalusia. As we advanced the previous day, the outcome in this class was not going to be easy and to solve on their side, the Flethes brothers are using the last victory that is the one that allows them to solve in their favor the tie with the crew of Lucía Páez and Angela Merello, absolute subchampions and female champions. The podium is completed by the crew of the RCN of El Puerto de Santa María, formed by Felipe Sánchez and Pablo López.

Carlos de Bricio puts his name on the title of Nautical Week champion in the Satin a Vela class and links this title to that of the champion of Andalusia achieved a few weeks ago. The regatist of the CN Sevilla was fired with two seconds but he uses the income and the lack of regularity of his rivals to confirm himself winner. They follow one and five points José Vicente Citation, winner of the two final tests, and Ramon Calero, both representing the RCN of El Puerto de Santa María. The Andalusian skates will host the Spanish Skate Championship that is held in the waters of the Gaditan Bay next week.

There are also no surprises in Laser Radio, a class in which Alfonso Moreno, from the CR Madrid, wins. Two seconds have served the visitor to beat Francisco Manuel Bolaños (CN El Trocadero) in the final day, and Jesús Parejo, of CN Sevilla, second and third, respectively. Among the girls, Lucía Van Stuivenberg, of the CN Elcano, is a regatist who also takes advantage to raise a position and stay at the gates of the absolute podium.

Impeccable victory of Juan José Fernández in Laser 4.7, where the regatist of CM Almería wins six of the eight tests with two seconds in the rest. Fernández, regatista Sub 16, is imposed on "his elders" and club companions, the Sub 18 Adriano Giménez and Eduardo Percelay, who accompany him by this order in the winning drawer.

Finally, the Laser Standard fleet was one of the most working with three tests today, which have been the only change of bronze for the CD athlete Flea Snipe de Cadiz, Carlos Corral, who rises a position to accompany on the podium the onubense Guillermo Flores and the portuense Arturo Martínez, the leading champion and subchampion leading his team 'Hospital Frontela Injerto Capitar' to the top of the race. The performance of Corral, a Grand Master sportsman who won one of the tests of the farewell with the others at the hands of Flores and Martínez.

19-08-2020: Decisive day at the Nautical Week of El Puerto de Santa María de Vela Ligera

The Thursday morning will in many cases be a decisive day to resolve the titles after an intense day lived in the waters of the Gaditana Bay

With a total of 15 more tests, on Wednesday the Nautical Week of El Puerto de Santa María resolves its second and penultimate day for the classes of Vela Ligera that finish their performance tomorrow Thursday. The Laser, 420 and Optimist classes were joined today by the Sailing Skates to which the race serves as training for the Spanish Championship, which is held in the same waters next week under the organization of the Andalusian Sailing Federation.

The pattern of the CN Sevilla, Carlos de Bricio, has not given truce and won the two tests in the premiere today of the class Satin to Vela. The current champion of Andalusia of the class also puts three points to his immediate follower, Ramón Calero, of the RCN of El Puerto de Santa María, 3rd and 2nd, and six to José María Alarcón (CV Bahia de Cadiz) third with a 2nd and a 6th on its score. From here on, equality is maximum, with the fourth place at the hands of Rafael Ruiz (CV Bahia de Cadiz) with the same points as Alarcón, followed by Vicente Climent (RCN of El Puerto de Santa María) and Alfonso Merello (CN Puerto Sherry), fifth and sixth respectively.

Patricia Bañez is still in charge of the Optimist class after a day in which the young regatist of RCMT Punta Umbria was valid for two seconds. Bañez comes to the final day with relative comfort but is obliged to remain fine as the four points of advantage have them on Arturo Arauz (CN Puerto Sherry), a regatist who in addition to defending the title usually grows with pressure. Arauz was one of the winners of the day, as a winner and not because he had fit in at all is Adriana Serra (RCMT Punta Umbria) to whom to rule out from his locker an offline allows him to climb from the tenth ninth to the third provisional position. At two points is his teammate María Castillo who rents the same points to Luis Castañeda, of CN Elcano, sixth, followed by the first sub 13 that is now Rodrigo Luis González, of CDN Punta Umbria.

The onubense is once again made of his and collides among the elders and puts more than ten points with his immediate follower. There are also changes among girls, among whom Alba Moreno, from the CR Madrid, now commands. Among the smallest - category Sub 11 - the first is Mar Infante, a member of the RCMT Punta Umbria team, and among the boys he accesses the first position Javier Soto of the CN Puerto Sherry.

The 420 class has been the protagonist today for the enormous competitiveness shown among the candidates for a title that will certainly be one of the most expensive of the week. In this class, the new leader was decided on the third and final test - sixth of the champion - that the crew of Lucía Páez and Angela Merello (CN Sevilla) won to untie the three with the crews of Fernando and Carlos Flethes (CN Puerto Sherry) and that of Felipe Sánchez and Pablo López (RCN of El Puerto de Santa María).

The crew of the host club played with a room in that test and moved from defending the provisional leadership to occupying the third place with seven more points than the Flethes brothers, who were only separated by one point from the girls after entering seconds into the test.

In Laser Radial, the regatist of the CR Madrid, Alfonso Moreno, is kept in the head, which, although it breaks its unbatibility, uses the rents and is valid a second and a first today to remain comfortable at the head of the provisional general classification. It also holds in second place Jesus Parejo, of the CN Sevilla, but both were today overtaken by Francisco Manuel Bolaños, of the CN El Trocadero, who with two wins and a third one rises to the third square and puts the subchampionship to two points.

With a greater detachment of the elders, the young Manuel Belizón of the CN Elcano, goes down a place to the fourth but keeps his options intact with only two more points than his predecessor, while his club partner Lucía Van Stuivenberg does the same and stands fifth to continue to shine among the girls.

In Laser 4.7, three first of the regatist of the CM Almería Juan José Fernandez are directly at the first place, in a privileged position for the outcome as he rents nine points to his club partner Adriano Giménez.

The third place and three is now for the first girl, the young Rocío Van Stuivenberg, of the CN Elcano, forced to continue on a streak to stay on the podium as it has with the very same points to stalk the almerian also Eduardo Percelay. It has not been a good day for the first leader of the week, the regatist of the CN El Trocadero Ivan Páez, who falls to the sixth place.

Finally, the Laser Standard fleet today carried out two more tests that add up to four and the onubense Guillermo Flores is held in the head. The regatist of the CN Rio Piedras is the first one to go first and discard a second and comes to the final day with two points of rent on his partner in the team 'Clínica Frontela Injerto Capitar', Arturo Martínez, which adds the same inverted partials.

In the third position, Ángel Contreras (RCN of El Puerto de Santa María), although in his case he is staggering after a day in which he has been overcome by the athlete of the CD Flea Snipe de Cadiz, Carlos Corral, with two septos from the first front to a fifth and a third from the Gaditano who put him to the podium doors with the same points.
