The Women's Regatta-Xunta Trophy of Galicia, organized by the Royal Galician Federation of Vela with the support of the Xeral Secretariat for O Sport began with provisional leadership of the crew of Mount Real Club of Yates of Baiona (two first places in the two and four races of the day, plus a second and a third) and much scratch in the river of Arousa.

In fact, two ships had problems: that of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, with the double champion of the world of Vaurien Alejandra Suárez in the cane, broke the rudder in the first manga and would no longer compete; the ship that represented the Vertigo Sailing of Punta Lagoa was hooked in a beacon and remained with the rizón, signing a double DNF in the two initial races and two fifths later put. There were peaks of 28 knots - it went down to 15 in the last two races - with wind of 40 and a "very hard" day for the crews, as the organization explained.

But the championship was a success. Four races, partial victories of the Monte Real (Marta Lino, Cristina González, Rita Hernández and María Campos), two, and two of the Real Club de Mar de Aguete (Claudia Sobral, Paula Fernández, Teresa González and Alejandra Peleteiro), two others, who promise an equal fight during this autonomous phase of the Women's League.

With crews of four regatists in each Elliott 6M, it closes the first day as leader of the ship of Baiona (4 points), with Aguete equal (4) and the regatists of the Royal Nautical Club of Coruña in third position. At the national end of June, also in Vilagarcía, only the champion will go.

The following dates, April 24 and May 8 and 22.
