Biniasch unbeatable in the WFSS Balearia 2022 Ibiza

The little wind that blew into the race field prevented the fleet from going out to compete on the last day of WFSS 2022 Ibiza. A fact that caused Gunnar Biniasch to get his second consecutive victory on the national circuit in the Open Pro Balearia category. Similarly, the Belgian Regy Dils proclaimed himself the winner of the WetSuitCare Open Advanced category while maintaining his leadership in the general, while the regatist of Ibiza Milton Montalvo went up to the top of the Levitaz Open Amateur podium.

At 11 in the morning the organizing ship, along with the regatists and companions, left the port of San Antonio de Portmany in search of the wind but because the initial conditions did not exceed 4 knots of intensity, the new format of the event was used to discover some of the most famous nautical postcards of the Pitiusas, such as cala Bassa and cala Compte, while the conditions were expected to improve.

Fortunately, the previous day the fleet was able to enjoy the perfect conditions of navigation to compete in this mode increasingly attracts more and more fans of the sailing sport. The first four sleeves were fought in the waters of Compte, where the German based in Fuerteventura, Gunnar Biniasch, conquered five of the seven blankets of the day.
