Nacho Aja was second to two points of the winner and Tanis Rey-Baltar third.

The ships of class 420 and Feva finally entered into liza after being unable to compete for the adverse weather conditions on the initial day of Saturday, in which there were very strong and variable winds. They sold Aier Carreira and Alfonso Bareño (RCMA-RSC) in Feva, ahead of the Asterians Covadonga Fernández and Carmen Simal. This prestigious Trophy was won in class 420 by the hondarribitars Mikel Peña and Manex Albizu, with two points of advantage over the local regatists Gabriel Oraá and Nacho García-Santamarina.
