The 2020-2021 cruise season has closed today Sunday, with the second and final test of the Regata del Socio, which has had a good participation of the local fleet under the ORC 3-4 and Promotion and with two tests, both coastal. On the day of Saturday he made the North, on his way to Pobla de Farnals, with 17.6 nautical miles of tour for all, while today and after the departure, he has enraged the proas made El Perelló, with 12.2 miles, both races with arrival at the mouth of the Club.

On the Saturday day the wind was somewhat weaker, just 5-6 knots, but remaining in the direction of the 010th. This led to a slow but very tactical race. The 'big' (ships with a larger length) knew how to find their way, sailing with a clean wind and after mounting the beacon of dismarking, almost at the end of the spikon, took the head of the fleet.

After obtaining the compensated times, in ORC 3-4 the podium was closed on this Saturday day with Spartano-Chatín de José Rubio, followed by Blue Lizard of Eduardo Tur, and Strategos IV, led by Kiko Torrent. With regard to the fleet Promotion the provisional podium trio was configured with Praia, of Rafel Chirivella, followed by Julia, Juan Antonio Canet and Sueiro, of Antonio Santamaría.

As for today's day, second and last, the wind has been more 'cheerful' with 8 knots from the Northeast, being a race very different from yesterday's, much faster and with very clear decisions from the exit, with a fleet at that time very grouped by the centre of line and that has been stretching much to the beacon of dismarking, which they have taken as starboard and the First 40.7 of the UPV dominating in a clear way in real time. After that step and with these good wind conditions, the fleet has stretched many more.

The wind conditions have also led to important changes today, not only in the general of the day but also in the absolute general, So things, Blue Lizard has been made with the Regata del Socio 2021 (2-1), followed by Spartano-Chatín (1-3), while the UPV (6-2), led by José Antonio Gil, with a good regatta has ended third in ORC 3-4. In Suerio Promotion (3-1), the first square was taken from Praia (1-4), first and second respectively, while the bronze fell into Julia (2-3), adding the results of Saturday and today Sunday.
