The festival end and trophy delivery of the 33rd Ifach Peñón Trophy in its second test, as well as the Salvador Mir Trophy will take place on June 4 at the Royal Nautical Club in Calpe

The First 50 Ithaca IX (RCN Calpe), armed by Manuel Galician, has been the brilliant winner of the 33rd Ifach Peñón Trophy in ORC 1. A triumph that, in addition, is awarded to him by the Trophy Salvador Mir as the absolute winner in the general of all classes. Along with the ship of Galician, the Aleph IX in ORC 2, with 1-4 partials, as well as the Aurora in ORC 3, with two triumphs, and the No te Nom in ORC 4, have also been proclaimed champions of this edition, after signing a second in the first trial and a triumph in this second.

It was better not to develop this second test in the Peñón Trophy of Ifach, which has had the very special collaboration of Port de Formentera, Marina de Formentera and Ports de Balears and that although the bow wind at certain times was somewhat annoying, especially in the last stretch with that happy Llebeig, it led the Plis Play to arrive at the nautical of Calpe at 5.30 hours, about 7.30 hours to complete the 64 miles of journey between Formentera and Calpe, almost the same as in the first stage with a minimum difference of 7.36 hours in the second test (7.36 hours).

These wind conditions made it very complicated to the Swan 80 of Vicente García, winner in real and compensated in the first test, since the fleet "ran" much ago Calpe, so time left Garcia's without options in adding a new partial triumph.

The second to take the arrival in Calpe was the other 'big' of the fleet, the Swan 75 Alzira- Moraira of Agustín Gregori, stopping time at 19.07 hours, 1.30 hours later than his older brother, the Swan 80.

After the arrival of these two units the drip of ships to take the arrival was constant, especially in the larger ones. Spaniard was the third, followed by the Ithaca, Limbo, Svinga 3, these two ships of ORC 2, and Jeffertje II. The last ship to take the arrival line was Mary Poppins (1 h. 32 '- Sunday 29).

Once the test has been closed and the times have been compensated, the winners of the second test of the 33rd Ifach Peñón Trophy, Formate--Calpe, have been Ithaca IX in ORC 1, Svinga 3 in ORC 2, Aurora in ORC 3 and No te Nom in ORC 4.

Thus, in addition to the two tests, the winners in the absolute general by category have been the Ithaca IX (RCN Calpe) armed by Manuel Gallejo; Aleph IX (CN La Vila) by Joaquín Pérez in ORC 2; Aurora (RCN Calpe), led by Javier Lledó in ORC 3 and the No te Nom (RCR Alicante) in ORC 4, a ship armed by Francisco Tornero.

The Salvador Mir Trophy, which is awarded to the absolute winner of the general that embraces all classes has fallen into the First 50 Itaca IX of Manuel Gallego with partial 2-1. Plis Play occupies the second square with 5 points and Jeffertje II is the third one adding 7.

The thirty-third edition of the Ifach Peñón Trophy completes its first test of the two planned, so you already have its first champions, which will defend their leadership on this day of Saturday, May 28, with the second test between Formentera and Calpe, whose output has occurred at a point under good conditions of wind that have been rising in intensity, so this last stretch is Llebeig of bow will make them arrive very fast to Calpe.

As far as the first one is concerned, with the departure last Thursday, the weather parts were completed. The Plis Play by Vicente García is the only one who got rid of that low pressure that greatly slowed the arrival of the fleet, as well as doing it very slowly until well into the early morning. After five hours on Saturday the last boats entered the port: Amelia in ORC 2 and Archimedes, of the class ORC 4.

After the compensated times, the ORC 1 podium was closed with Plis Play first, followed by Ithaca IX and Jeffertje II. In ORC 2 Alpeh IV, Limbo II and Tagomago II occupied the three podium squares, while Aurora, Etreus II and Dijor in ORC 3 and Calama, No te Nom and Espitós One in ORC 4, they climbed into the drawer in their respective categories.
