If in the women's Sailing Zendal the little or no wind damaged its development, the fact is that what happened in the Coruñesa bay in the races in honor of the unforgettable Aurelio Fernández Lage was the other side of the coin. Winds that never went down from the 30 knots and that at times over 40 generously... forced the judges first to send the younger ones to the showers (80 ships with the least expert patterns, framed in the blue group) and within a few minutes watching both the president of the Jury, the madrileño Pedro Fernández Alarcón, and the most responsible in the water the Ferrolano Fernandez Souto, decided to do the same with the elite group.

For this reason Sunday will be the second day... unique to dessert and therefore decisive... in which the meteor speaks of winds of 10 to 12 knots from the south rolling to the north, so it is presumed a beautiful day of races as closure of the version A Coruña Nautical Festival immersed in the Abanca Week.

The news of Saturday, without a doubt the brilliant performance of the rescue services of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, with David Conde in command who transformed what became a situation of concern for the wind, in the most absolute normality. With the maximum note for the Red Cross of the Sea and the coaches of the teams of regats displaced to La Coruña (with a total of 18 pneumatic), case of Sanxenxo, Baiona, Vigo, Canido, Portosín... as well as the premises of the herculina bay and Ferrolterra.

It should be noted that the competition was witnessed by one of the largest promises of the Galician and Spanish sailing... the Herculino González del Castillo, who in 2020 at only 11 years old was imposed in the Vigo Week and in the Aurelio Fernández Lage and who currently at 15 years old was already part of the Team of Spain of 420 in the European, being able to qualify for the group of the best. The regatist of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña was on the race field this Saturday to support another young boy whose career looks very good... Alejandro Alonso del Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona with 13-year-old number 1 ranking and Alma Chamorro of Club Marítimo de Canido, which is the dominant among the girls.

The closing of the optimist competition will have its closing ceremony at the edge of five o'clock in the sports facilities of the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña. The event will include the Coruñese concelleiros: Gonzalo Castro (culture and tourism) and Manuel Vázquez (sports) and the presence of the great Aurelio Fernández Lage, representatives of Abanca, the Royal Galician Federation of Vela and the Real Club Náutico itself.
