The wind conditions have made things more difficult for the fleet participating in the 6-metre Spanish Cup of Xacobeo Trophy in the river of Pontevedra. As on the first day of the race, the wind was made to wait today in Sanxenxo and the Committee was forced to postpone the start of the tests until about 14: 30, when Eolo finally allowed both Classics and Open to add a last sleeve that he gave as winners of the quote to "Bribon 500" and "Seljm."

In the division of Classics, the team patrolled on this occasion by Jane Abascal showed that there are no conditions to resist it. With a very unstable wind that ranged between five and ten knots of intensity, the "Bribon 500" again scored a new partial victory in his locker, and they are already six out of six in what goes on the circuit. In the back, another local team, the "Titia" of Mauricio Sanchez-Bella, was the one who took the second place this time to conclude the appointment in the third podium drawer behind the "Alibaba II" of Mount Real Club of Yates, which has Miguel Lago in the cane and takes the second final position this weekend after adding a third today.

Thus, with a total of six tests completed so far in the circuit of the Spanish Cup - Xacobeo Trophy, the "Bribon 500" remains undefeated at the top of the table with a seven-point advantage over the second classified, the "Caprice" of Iñigo Echenique of the Canido Maritime Club. The third position of the general is the "Stardust" of Santiago Campos (RCNS).

On the other hand, things were tighter in the Open category. Today, the triumph of the only completed manga came to the hands of Violeta Alvarez's "Stella" (RCNS), although the final victory of the weekend and the general of the circuit remains in the hands of Patrick Monteiro's "Seljm," representing the Cascais Naval Clube. The second place is the boat of Alvarez at only one point of the leader and third is the "Maybe XIV" of Eugenio Galdón (Real Regatas Club of Cartagena), which today was a third in his locker... the next appointment for the fleet of 6 Meters will be in just less than a month, on 22 and 23 May, in the waters of Sanxenxo... the general is as follows:

Category Classic
1. "Bribon 500," Pedro Campos (RCNS), (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5
2. "Caprice," Iñigo Echenique (CM Canido), 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + (4) = 12
3. "Stardust," Santiago Campos (RCNS), 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + (5) = 15

Open Category
1. "Seljm," Patrick Monteiro (CNC), 1 + 2 = 3
2. "Stella," Violeta Alvarez (RCNS), 3 + 1 = 4
3. "Maybe XIV," Eugenio Galdón (RCR Cartagena) 2 + 3 = 5

2021 / 04 / 25: Bribon 500 and Seljm lead the categories of the Xacobeo Trophy 6 meters in Sanxenxo

The wind, great protagonist of the first day of the race in the river of Pontevedra this Saturday

Tough day in the waters of Sanxenxo for the fleet participating in the Spanish Cup - Xacobeo Trophy of 6 Meters. As expected, the wind conditions were protagonists in this first day of race and the Committee did not have it easy to complete one of the two scheduled tests. The circuit general, for the time being, continues to be commanded by "Bribon 500" and "Seljm."

In the category of Classics, the "Bribon 500" of Pedro Campos became the fastest and was able to score a new partial victory in his locker, although this time the "Alibaba" of Miguel Lago did not make it easy. The boat of Mount Real Club de Yates, which became fifth towards the middle of the tour, starred in a large stretch to cross the arrival line in second position and only a few metres from the team of the Royal Nautical Club of Sanxenxo. In the back, today's third place was taken by the representative of the Canido Maritime Club, the "Caprice" of Iñigo Echenique.

Meanwhile, in the Open fleet the victory was also not simple for Patrick Monteiro's "Seljm." The team of the Naval Clube de Cascais finally managed to add a first position followed closely by the "Maybe XIV" of the Real Club of Regatas of Cartagena with Eugenio Galdón to the cane, which came to position itself at the front of the fleet at the beginning of the tour. The third place, for its part, was for the local team "Stella" by Violeta Alvarez.

With these results, the general of the circuit continues to be led by the "Bribon 500" in Classics and by the "Seljm" in Open, and in the case of those of Pedro Campos with a seven-point advantage over the second classified... tomorrow Sunday, second and last day with two tests scheduled from 12: 30.
