Laguardia & Moreira becomes strong in the leadership of the Sailway Series of J70, after adding to the victory in the first act of the Lucense cane established in Vigo Gonzalo Araújo, the one obtained this weekend in the second act, in this ocation with the Coruñés pattern Malalo Bermudez de Castro to the controls.

After this J70, the Marnatura of Luis Bugallo and Enrique Freire, and a little more backward and equal to points, is seen as a solitaire persecutor: Pazo de Cea de Javier Porto and Valmy Fvo, in which the oceanic pattern Chuny Bermudez de Castro, the globalist Victor Marino and the Olympic medal Nicolas Rodríguez are sailing.

In which it was the second act of the J70 Sailway Series, six sleeves were held... and of them three on the Sunday day... were completed, even though the south-west winds in the Viguese ría were loose (6 knots) and unstable. The six victories were distributed between Laguardia & Moreira de Malalo Bermudez de Castro and Pazo de Cea de Javier Porto (2)... as well as Marnatura de Luis Bugallo and Abril Rojo de Jorge Pérez Canal (1).

Laguardia & Moreira with Malalo to the cane overcame with authority, followed by a Marnatura that has gone to more and that is postulated as the alternative to the leadership of Araujo and Bermudez de Castro. The third in discord is the Pazo de Cea that is competing to a high level, and that is equal to points with the Valmy Fvo of Marina Coruña, which has a super crew.

Later the two Abriles with and Jorge Pérez Canal... in group with the Noticia de Luis Caviedes of the Real Club Nautico of Barcelona, which suffered much this weekend with the wind conditions. The Sailway Series reach their equator after two events celebrated and two remaining ones that will take place in the months of April and May... in which the participation will almost double, with the arrival of more J70 from Barcelona and the incorporation of the numerous fleet based in Cascais- Lisbon, of the hand of Vasco Serpa.

It began with the second act of the Sailway Series in the Ria de Vigo, with very variable wind conditions, which made it very complicated for the Chief Officer, the Coruñés Jaime García... who saw them and wanted to take the day forward... which began with a two-hour delay over the scheduled schedule, and concluded with much controversy. The area chosen by the judges, the northern coast area of the river off Moaña.
