The tenth edition of the PalmaVela has crowned its new champions on Sunday after three days of competition, although Saturday's day the strong time in the Balearic Islands kept the fleet in the pants of the RCN Palma.

The winners in this special edition, since it has been held in autumn instead of spring due to the pandemic, have been: "Bronenosec Gazprom" (TP52), "Aifos 500" (ORC 0), "Nadir" (ORC 1-2), "Lady" (ORC 3), "Just the Job" (ORC 4-5), "Azuree" (ORC A2), "Mikaku" (J80), "Gunter" (Dragon), "" Disco Volante "(Flying Fithean)," "and" Marifolas "(").

The TP52, the most professional class of the fleet of this PalmaVela, came out in the water with a triple tie on the podium to four points that starred the ship with more Spanish on board - Platoon-, the Russian Bronenosec of Vladimir Liubomirov and Quantum Racing, winner of the last edition.

The ORC 0 class was led this morning by the Spanish Navy's boat "Aifos 500" patrolled by Admiral Jaime Rodriez-Touges, yes, tied to four points with "Pelotari Project" and "Leaps & Bounds 2..." the "Aifos 500" crossed the line of arrival in the first place in both tests, even exceeding a break in the first manga and finally signing what is his first victory in this race.

Similar situation in the category ORC 1-2, with a tie between the "Nadir" of Pedro Vaquer and the "Long Echo" of Barry Sampson, both 42-foot units of the year 2006 and the Nauthor's Swan house, and both with three points in their respective lockers at the beginning of the day... "Nadir" took the cat to the water by winning the sleeve and winning the one that is his first victory in PalmaVela.

In ORC 4-5 "Just the Job" has not given its rivals a choice and has been imposed on each and every one of the three races that the class has completed in this PalmaVela: a coast on Friday and two barloventos / sotavento today. Patroned by Scott Beatti, the CVP Andratx ship has taken seven points to the second "Nautia net," being the winner with the most advantage of the 11 competing classes... for its part, the "Lady" has proclaimed itself the winner of the PalmaVela in ORC 3, imposing itself with only one point of advantage over the Carles Rodríguez and his "L'immens - Laplaza Assessors."
