The harsh wind conditions have prevented the development of the first three races provided for in this national meeting. The regatta committee came to have measurements where the 28 knots were reached in the bay of Las Palmas, which together with strong waves, forced the regatta officer of this competition Javier Pérez- Lafuente, to extend deferral by moving the fleet to the ground.

At 16: 00, new measurements were carried out and in the face of the persistence of the wind, the final decision was made to suspend the day as the forecast of hard wind was to continue until the sunset.

During this day some participants have suffered breaks on the way to the site of the competition, so this deferral on the ground has served many participants to replace and adjust equipment, for these difficult conditions. Tomorrow Saturday, three new tests will be tried if the wind allows.

The award was awarded with the participation of the national secretary of the class Snipe Fernando Celerán, Rafael Bonilla president of the Federation Canaria de Vela, the Commodore of the RCNGC Fernando Juárez and vice comandoro Micky Hernández

The nautical grancanary not only adds a new national triumph to its palmaris, but also gets the full podium of this national quote, by classifying itself in the first three positions of the general crews of its regatta team. Samuel Beneyto and Margarita Iess were sailing together for the first time, as the two are regular regalists of the ILCA class.

But they achieved in record time the necessary compenetration on the double ships, which together with an enviable setting up of the ship, assured them a speed plus in all the steps, allowing them to win all contested races.

For the configuration of the rest of the podium, however, it was necessary to wait until the last minute, as it was on the ground where the official protest committee had work, with an incident in the seventh test. The regalatists Francisco Silvela / Mauro Şlez- Regueral (RC Astur de Regatas-RCN La Coruña) arrived second on the provisional of this last day, the result of a regular work, with a slight advantage over the two grancan crews with which they have been fighting during this championship: Ian Hopkins / Carlota Hopkins and Ruben Naranjo / Rafael del Castillo.

But a right of passage not fulfilled by Silvela and Glez- Regueral in the first stern of the penultimate race, cost him a disqualification and as there are times that things that go wrong, can go even worse, a break in the boat at the height of the obese in the last test, forced them to withdraw without the possibility to rule out the latter unintended.

In this way the Hopkins brothers jumped from the third to second place on the provisional podium, tying to points with their club mates Rubén Naranjo / Rafa del Castillo. Triumph for the organizing club by placing three of its representatives on the podium.

The Vascos Manolo Rey-Baltar / Borja Reig embroidered on this last day their participation, holding a second and third position as partial, allowing them to climb one more position, placing themselves in the fourth position of the absolute general.

So, the game on this day has been in the rest of the table positions, with several changes in the provisional classification. The brothers Ian and Carlota Hopkins (RCNGC) with the partials (2º-2º-4º-5º-7º- (13th)) punctured in the last test and went down to the fourth position of the provisional, to a single point of their teammates Rubén Naranjo / Rafa del Castillo, with a powerful beginning (3º- (8th) -3° 2º-5° -6º) that has allowed them to rise to the provisional podium. The crew Silvela / Mauro Glez.-Regueral give the jump to the second place, thanks to a regular work ((6 °) -4 ° -2 ° -4 ° -2 ° -2 °).
