Without a doubt the Maritime of the Abra is in another dimension... not because it is the best club in Spain... that it is... but because it knows how no one can bring together quality in everything that it does, identification with its partners and that they also live their events... others have instead become mere advertising agencies of dubious profitability...

The Etnia Barcelona de Peru Múgica, of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, was the one who noted the J80 Sailing Finals, which were held in the Vizcaina waters of the Abra with organization of the Real Club Marítimo del Abra-Real Sporting Club.

After the two days held, with much uncertainty in the outcome, the Etnia Barcelona (11 points) ended up ahead of the two favorites: the Biobizz de José Azqueta, of the Real Club Marítimo del Abra-Real Sporting Club, and the Solintal of Ignacio Camino Santanderino, twice the world champion in this class.

It was the three crews that got on the podium by this order. The Fhimasa Escuela de Vela José Luis de Ugarte, the youth champions, the Dorsia Covirán de la armadora Nuria Sánchez and Rafael Díaz were then classified as the master, the Matrako de Ricardo Díaz-Munio, the Fingolfin de Gonzalo CHA varri, the Vissi de Juan Llano and the Wilco de Diego Guardamino. The winning crew consisted of Peru Múgica, Mario Lobera (trimmer), Manu Fabregas (piano) and Alfredo Martínez (bow).

The Royal Maritime Club of the Abra-Real Sporting Club hosted the first of the two days of the J80 Sailing Finals, with some of the best of the Circuit of this division following the different tests that have been disputed throughout this year.

Three tours were completed in the vicinity of Punta Galea with a south-east wind of 6 knots and a 20-bit streak. After the tests, the Solintal de Ignacio Camino, of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander (8 points), is the leader of this competition. Second appears the Biobizz of José Azqueta, of the Real Club Marítimo del Abra-Real Sporting Club (9 points), and third is the Etnia Barcelona of Peru Múgica (12 points).

The local Biobizz, sixth in the recent Newport World Championship, was imposed on the first tour ahead of its main adversary, a Solintal who accepted the beautiful challenge in the Abra race field and won in the second race of the day.

Both the Santanderino leader and the aspiring vizcino completed this beginning of the J80 Series Finals with a first, second and fourth place, so that the advantage of only one point of Ignacio Camino's crew is maintained over that of José Azqueta.

Close to the favorites is the Etnia Barcelona de Peru Múgica, which was imposed on the third tour, shortened by the committee due to a very steep wind role, followed by the Fhimasa Escuela de Vela José Luis de Ugarte, the champions of the youth world, which is fourth in the classification followed in fifth place by the Dorsia Covirán of the shipowner Nuria Sánchez and Rafael Díaz as patron.

Sixth is the Matrako of Ricardo Diaz-Munio, seventh is the Fingolfin of Gonzalo Miguvarri, eighth is the Wilco of Diego Guardamino and ninth is the Vissi of Marcelo Fernández.
