The exit has been marked by intense rain and a wind that has remained between 6- 7 knots on a 240º (SW- Southwest) axis towards the island of Tenca with first step control

The strong storm and the justified wind of 6-7 knots of the 240º (SW-Southwest) have been the main protagonists in the setting of the 300 Miles A3 Moraira Trofeo Grefusa 2022. The weather part already indicated that the exit would be complicated, with a fleet that has not reached the end of the 20 ships due to these adverse weather conditions.

After the long, very attached to the ship committee and grouped the vast majority, the strong rain has also not wanted to give truce to anyone. Only and almost arriving in Alicante the sun has given a brief break, but back to rain strong in the vicinity of the island of Tencarca, first step of control. After leaving the island of Alicantina, the fleet will bow to the island of Venadrell in Ibiza, then to the island of Columbretes in Castellón and towards the arrival line located in the vicinity of the Moraira Nautical Club.

At 8: 00 in the afternoon, after five hours of crossing the fleet continues to sail very grouped, although the Valencian Waypoint (Pogo 40S), of the RCN Valencia led by Juan Merediz, sails further off the coast, staying first. A position that can be said to be shared with the Swan 75 Alzira Moraira (CN Moraira) and the Swan 45 Brujo (RCN Valencia) both maintaining a nice struggle, sailing to the 40 of Merediz.

In the centre of the fleet they sail to the stela of these three ships the Jeffertje (RCN Calpe), a Grand Soleil 46, M8 (RCN Valencia) and closer to the latter Tanit 4 Medilevel (RCR Alicante) and Baraka Mar (RCN Torrevieja). The rest of the fleet is located quite a distance from this group that heads the 300-mile fleet A3 Moraira Trofeo Grefusa.

The forecasts point to the fact that it will be a slow race, provided that the planned parts are fulfilled at this time, so the first ships are expected to arrive to the nautical Moraira well into the night of Friday to Saturday, or even in the first lights of Saturday.
