In the Spanish Championship reserved only for national finnists, the Galician of the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña Miguel Fernández Vasco was proclaimed new Spanish champion, to which he comes to add his two Spanish Copas.

The Argentinean curated a series of six out of six, showing clearly his potential... which for many will be worth it to be gold in Tokyo in the Finn class... or at least silver. In Galician waters he made two macadas of which they mark style: the first one to go out of line in one of the sleeves, will manage to return among the rivals to return to the exit by losing several minutes... and reach again the fleet head. This was happening on a Saturday when it was the first race of the Championship.

Already on Sunday in which it was the fourth manga of the event, along with the head group fell into a well in the Coruñesa bay, in the area of the pier of the oil tankers, reaching the beacon of barlovento in the decimegundo place. Nor did this problem take him away from the first place, which he reached at the last stern; it is a pattern of another dimension and so recognized by all its rivals.

The second in discord was always Miguel Fernández Vasco. The coruñés that was the proel of trust of the great Chuny Bermudez at the Star World Cup, in which they had been no less than seven classified, was immense. He accumulated seconds and third parties, exceeding all the Spaniards and being only overcome by Argentina. The Venezuelan Olympic Andrés Lage, who will also be in Japan, had to settle for bronze... the other foreign Olympic, the Japanese Fujimura... was on a high level, but remained in the fifth square, as the Catalan David Terol of the Torredembarra Maritime Club of Tarragona, took the fourth.

In the list of the Spanish Championship, and after Vasco and Terol, another Catalan, but from Girona of the Nàutic Club of Llanfranc: Paco Castañer, was complete. Antonio Parra was the fourth and the Barcelona Roque Terol the fifth, of the Hospitalet Club. It should be noted that patterns such as Rivero, Nieto and Jesús Pintos were also in good line, which were found in the first squares.

The finnist of the Club de Vela Barlovento of Buenos Aires has been three first in the three sleeves held, demonstrating his status as a great favorite.

Good days of wind and sea in Galician waters on the Saturday day, with a beautiful exit to the beacon of barlovento... which was truncated because a role of more than 30 degrees so advised, immediately the judges with Chuco Pérez Lapuente in command raised the flag "N" (similar to that shown to formula 1 in the arrivals), which means "annulment" and again begin. The worst for Fernández Vasco, who was a leader at the time.

The second was the defeat, that was with less wind... however the exit was very fair in which the Argentine finnist took advantage of achieving his first victory. After him, Andrés Lage of Venezuela, being the third place for the Spanish Cup's bicampoon, Miguel Fer4ně Vasco, fourth the world cruise champion Jesus Pitos and fifth the Nipon Yuji Fujimura.

The second with already low but sufficient winds, was almost a broth of the opening, with the difference that the Japanese went up to the fourth square, the Catalan Terol did it to the fifth... on the other hand Pintos went to the 14th and being the sixth other Coruñés, David Rivero.

Nor did Argentina fail in the third manga with another first... and it is that Facundo in the last Olympic Games achieved in the Finn class no less than two first places... Miguel Vasco was in second place, so he accumulates a third and two seconds... in hard fight on the podium with the Venezuelan Andres Lage who accumulates 2-3-3 and the Japanese Fujimura with 5-4-4. The fifth in discord is David Terol Albadalejo of the Torredembarra Club, who was European laser champion.

The level at the Abanca Week, in this Spanish Championship of Finn- Trofeo Xunta of Galicia is very high, for the moment the owner and lord is Facundo Olezza of Argentina... with our bicampeon of the Spanish Cup, the coruñes Miguel Fernández Vasco that is in the position of "silver," being the provisional broce Andrés Lage of Venezuela.

The second day of competition is scheduled for Sunday, in which three sleeves are scheduled in the herculine bay, which will start at the edge of 12: 00 in the morning.
