A complicated day, the first of the five scheduled... due to the 25 knots of the Northwest that came to mark the anemometer in the race field, on the barlovento-sotavento route, located just opposite the beach of San Lorenzo. Class I and II completed 3 laps with a total of 9.6 miles away, while Class III turned 6.4 miles.

The GS1, patronized by Fernando Alonso ended in second position a minute and twenty-three seconds from the first. For its part, Alfredo Flórez's Taxus MedioAmbiente was third, one minute and one second behind Alonso.

In class II, the University of Oviedo Isastur, by Roberto Álvarez- Bucetas one of the favorites to carry the Trophy, was the fastest of its group for only 8 seconds, in difference in time compensated for the Jarr, of Luis Llano second classified. The Andantino, with Raúl Menéndez to the cane ended in third position.

The university ship of the Civil Navy, the Espumeru, patronized by Alberto Tablón was the best in class III and is also a firm candidate for the victory in its class. The Ita II of Pedro Guerra ended in second position, one of the rivals to take into account for the general classification. Juan Manuel Quevedo, on board the Leonidas finished the first sleeve in third position.

As for the Autumn Trophy of Vela Ligera, on Sunday only a part of the Snipe fleet came out into the water because most of the regatists were outside the region participating in other competitions... Alvaro Alegría and Andrea Ponte won the two sleeves and are the first leaders of the Trophy, the second square with two seconds on it was obtained by José Carlos Alegría and Cristina Fernández, followed by Jesús Suárez and David Torrado, who finished rooms on the first sleeve and seconds on the closing one.
