The team of the Royal Nautical Club of Arrecife got the pass to the European semifinal as subchampion of the Lotteries Trophy and State Bet... the competition will take place from September 23 to 26 in St. Petersburg

The Sailing Champions League, or the European Sailing League, will hold its semi-final in the cold waters of the Baltic Sea from 23 to 26 September.

The European meeting, organized by the Yacht Club of St. Petersburg and the Russian Federation of Vela, will be attended by only a Spanish representative who will be the canary team of the Royal Nautical Club of Arrecife of Lanzarote... it is not an open championship in which anyone can participate but first they are to be classified in the leagues of their respective countries and the team of Lanzarote won its place thanks to the having finished last year in second position of the Spanish League of Vela - Lotteries and State Bet, which is currently leading competition.

The other teams will come out of the competition that will take place these days in St. Petersburg. Together with the champions of each European country, the faces will be seen in the great final that will take place in Porto Cervo from 7 to 10 October of this same year. So hopefully we can have in that final two Spanish teams: the RCN of Valencia (champions of the Spanish Vela League 2020) and those of the RCN of Arrecife (Lanzarote), which depend on the result they get in the Russian semi-final.

This is a very high level competition, with professional teams from all over Europe. The registered countries include Russia, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, France, Croatia, Spain, England and Ireland. The Spanish team will be made up of well-known regatists who come from Lanzarote as Nano Negrín to the cane, Gonzalo Morales and Ricardo Terrades to the trim along with Rafa Lasso to the bow.
