The Spanish promises of 49er have shown a high level in the first round of the Grand Prix of Portugal held in Vilamoura... a podium, the second place of Albert Torres and Elías Aretz, a Top 5 and two Top 15 have been the most outstanding results.

Torres and Aretz came to lead the championship but saw their final victory options eroded in the penultimate day, when they had to withdraw from the last test of the day by having a break in the rudder. This result went on to occupy its discards and in the final classification six points have been left behind the Danes Frederik Rank and Jakob Jensen.

Andrés Barrio and Pablo Torrado have gone from less to more during the week and have finished in fourth position, just two points from the third podium drawer. He points out that in the last day they won two partial wins and a third square, their best championship numbers.

The national representation has been wide in Vilamoura, with a total of six crews in the Lusa competition. The results mentioned above include the thirteenth position of Martín Wizner and Pablo García and the fifteenth position of Conrad Konitzer and Fernando Rodríguez. In the 19th place Rafael de la Hoz and José Manuel Ruiz have finished. Finally, Jacobo García and Pol Marsans have been vigesimoquintos.

In 49er FX the most prominent team has been the one formed by Marina Garau and Carlota García, the 17th. Alongside them, Patricia Suárez and María Cantero have also sailed, who have ended up at the 13 General, and Pula Van Wieringen and Elena Barrio, a team that has closed the Top 20 of this category.
