With winds of 22 knots during the first day and 12 to 15 knots during the second day, all regatists have faced the same conditions with exactly the same material: a table of 3.65 meters and 15 kilos with 229 litres of volume and an official candle of 5.7 m.

Among the 109 regatists from a total of 14 European countries, the youngest is Catalan Pol Font, only seventeen years old, while the largest is French Asia Jean, seventy-one years old... between the age of one and the other, 14 regatists over the age of sixty, 69 between fifty and sixty; 20 between forty and fifty-six under forty.

The classic windsurfing test follows this Saturday with more races and ends on Sunday with the Sant Pere Pescador- L'Pescador - Sant Pere Pescador.
