Will it be Julio Rodríguez of Madrid?... this is his merengnona crew, posing with the trophy Juan Sebastián Elcano

The Magical of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, made good its favorite status and took the Guardian Regata of Cruises ORC and, therefore, its patron, Julio Rodríguez, was awarded the "Cabezón," as the Navy knows to the bust of Juan Sebastián Elcano, with which it commemorates the fifth centenary of the first round of the world. The day turned out to be quite different from sabatine.

The fleet, reduced to seven units (the Aldan, a Navy First 40.7, would no longer leave Marin), regained 15.20 miles from the 9-kt wind tour from 220 to 315 (southwest to northwest).

At a quiet stage, the Magic gave no choice to its main opponents. He first arrived in real time (2: 40: 17) and saw how Bon 3 and Ay Carmela exchanged positions on the stage podium and also on the general. That one, a J109 by Victor Carrión (CN Punta Lagoa), went down to the third drawer of the day and this one, a J80 (Juan Martinez- Pazó, Bouzas Maritime Liceo), went up to the second of the day and from the final classification.

Poca was the fight: the Swan 42 Cs gave almost 40 minutes to Bon 3 and about 43 to Ay Carmela, which in compensated time were almost six minutes (5: 46) over Ay Carmela and 12: 26 at the cost of the ship of Carrion.There was no more.

In the final general, the valuable trophy of the fifth centenary remains in Vigo. Subchampion would be the lyceist and third, the Bon 3. By classes, Magical (ORC 1-2), Bon 3 (ORC 3-4) and Ay Carmela (ORC 5) triumphs.

The bad weather forced to change the stages of the Guardian Regata-Trophy V Centenary, for Cruises ORC, whose organization share the Marin Military Naval School and the Royal Nautical Club of Watch. El Magical, a Swan 42 Cs that weapon and patron Julio Rodríguez (RCN Vigo), was imposed in both real and corrected time.

It needed less than two hours (01: 56: 09) to cover a 13.9-mile-sotavent barlovento in the Pontevedra River, followed by the J109 Bon 3 (Víctor Carrión, CN Punta Lagoa) and the Aldán, a First 40.7 of the Navy (Juan González, CNR Marin), which invested 2: 14.43 and 2: 29.08, respectively.

With a reduced fleet of ten units... with a wind of about 20 knots of 210, the Magical leads the general, with the Bon 3 in second place and the Ay Carmela (Juan Martinez- Pazó, the Bouzas Maritime Liceo), winner of the Regata Costa da Vela in A Two, falling into the third square in corrected.
