The shipowner and cane of the DK46 is one of the hobbies to the competition, although it has the spinite nailed to it not be able to win: Every year I aspire to make the podium, that a few years I have achieved it, but it is the proof of home and I have not yet won it, although I have won other important tests such as the Palma Vela or the World Championship in ORC. This year we have sailed very little, but I think like everyone else so it won't be a handicap. I think we have at least one crew to make podium, although there is a high level in the ORC class 0-1.

For the club partner, this is the class. that more represents the club because any partner can compete with any kind of ships, is a very open class. We're all gonna be able to enjoy the competition for three days, which is something we can't usually do. Being part of a race like the Queen is a pass for partners.
