2021-12-11: The wind shows the beginning of the second act of the Nautical Week of Alicante

The second delivery of Alicante's Nautical Week has not had a good start. The very bad wind conditions have left the fleet unable to compete, except for the Raceboard that have closed almost one, as the race committee has had to shorten the course, with arrival in barlovent.

The committee has tried them up to two times for the Optimist A, in the second with a black flag and when it seemed that the barlovento readings were something favorable, in the middle of the stretch the wind has said goodbye, so the test has to be annulled.

The Optimist B, for their part, have also tried, starting an exit with a general call. Then the wind conditions were not favorable, although at certain times those 6 knots allowed some hope to do something, but... The wind was coming and it was going if it was to stay.

The BIC Techno and IQ Foil went out to the race field at about 3 p.m., the moment that it seemed that a slight breeze was kept in the second area of race planned by the RCR of Alicante, located in front of the beach of El Postiguet, but it was also going to be a mirage with ups and downs of pressure.

The Raceboard were hardly able to leave, although reaching the second step of barlovento the committee shortened the route, placing in that step the arrival, so this class closed the day with a "test" that, together with the three of yesterday adds four with the bat Juan Alberto Bohajar leader with 9 points, with a discard, followed by Humberto Martínez (RCR Cartagena) with 8 and bronze provisional for Marc René Arnold Leutscher (RCR Alicante) having in its locker with 24 points.

The 55 Nautical Week of Alicante, organized by the Real Club of Regatas, faces this weekend, the second delivery and does so with the Optimist fleet as the main protagonist, although the BIC Techno, in their respective categories and with 32 registered, as well as the IQ Foil with 14 and the Raceboard with 18, will have their space, especially the latter with the incentive to be a valid test for the Spanish Cup.

The Optimist fleet is the largest, with regatists from the Valencia Community and the Murcia Region, to which the teams of San Sebastián and Lithuania are incorporated. In the Optimist A, 92 regatists are quoted while in the B they reach 100. As a Level 1 test, the alicantine race is valid for the VCV's Autonomical Cup and that is why the best in the Community will be.

Among the favorites: Fernando Puig (CN Jávea); Blanca Ferrando and Carlos Espí (RCN Valencia); Claudia Gómez (RCN Torrevieja) who are joined by the powerful local fleet of the RCR Alicante, highlighting Berta Ramón-Borja, José Eugenio Ribelles, Joaquín Valero or Eduardo Navarro among others.

In the Optimist B, with a new hornada of regatist that will combine their lack of experience with the 'veterans' of this category, the clubs of Valencia, Torrevieja, Denia and Alicante stand out in terms of the numbers of regatists that each club brings. The podium options are very diverse, although some point to the podium case of Marta Ferrando, Carmen Santamaría, Thomas Sanchez, Carla Rivero, Gonzalo Ballester, Marc Puig, Gonzalo Gómez or Julia Molano to quote one of the 100 registered.

Many are the options of BIC Techno, both in the SUB15, SUB17 or Plus, the latter with the highest representation, with 12 regatists. The French Hispanic CW, in Plus, remains a reference, although closely follows the CN Jávea with the highest exponent.

In the SUB17, with a representative of the Madrid territory: Marco Edmundo Martínez (CR Madrid) presents the best in the category, representing mostly the French Hispanic CW team.

A script that is repeated in the SUB15 with two representatives of the same Madrid club: Alba Moreno, champion of Spain Optimist SUB13 in 2020, and Andrea Sira, although now the options of achieving a prominent role pass through the CN of Jávea, as it has three regatists.

Six tests are planned in these two days, with the exception of the IQ Foil that have 10, while the Raceboard have 9 on their agenda.
