Three tests for the fleet of 49er FX and four for the 49er. That one couldn't make the fourth race because the wind got ugly. Suddenly, the withdrawal of Paula Van Wieringen (Club Marítimo San Antonio de la Playa) and Mar Gil (Club de Vela Port d'Andratx) at the fifth exit of the championship, second of the day (they broke the major in a turn), has opened the battle for bronze.

In addition, they did not go on the last test of the day and amount to 21 points. With Marina Garau (CM San Antonio de la Playa) and Carlota García (RCM Santander) almost biting the silver, Marcos Fernández (RCN Portosín) and Jaime Framis (CN Hondarribia) have entered the third square (14 points) and the ship of Carlota Hernández (RCN Vigo) and María Teresa Alonso (RCN Sanxenxo), with 20 net points, also has options. After a Saturday with numerous spins, the emotion to the end is assured.

In 49er, Gallegos Martín Wizner (RCN Vigo) and Pablo García (RCN Sanxenxo) hasten their podium options. They are fifths with 26 net points when entering the discard ([6] -3-4-6-6-6-4), but only 4 by Albert Torres-Elías Aretz (RCN Palma), and Andrés Barrio (RCN Gran Canaria) and Antonio Torrado (RCN Torrevieja), third and fourth, respectively. And it is that second classified marches the Uruguayan Hernán Upierre and Fernando Diz, which do not count for the national title (2-4- [7] -3-4- 2-1, 16 net points).

Of course, gold is the Alonso thing. Federico (RC Astur de Regatas) and Arturo (CN Marina del Cantábrico) signed three consecutive victories and a second place for a series 1- [2] -1-1-1-2 and 7 points. The cross of the day, for Conrad Konitzer (CN Arenal) and Simbad Quiroga (RCN Palma), who withdrew in the last two tests of the day. With 28 points (4-1-2-5-7- [9] -9) they still have options, but on Friday they saw the rivals behind their back.
