The classic sailing test linking Getxo with Castro began with more than 30 ships and an 8-mile online race

The first test of the 2025 Castro Cup in which it took much of the Basque and Cantabra fleets began with some delay in the Vizcaina waters of the Abra, due to the loose wind, and ended in Castro after 8 miles. The initial moment of the departure was very emotional with the memory given by the organization to Luis Miguel Chamero, 'Luismi', a crew member of the Maitena who died a few days ago.

After the test that started with the north-north wind of 5 knots, with more than 30 participants, the Yamamay leader of the general, is first in the Regata class, the Andarax Bi of Josu Portularme in the Cruise class I, the Kohen of Juan Carlos Estefanía in Cruise II and the Vissi of Juan Llano in the J80 class. They are the leaders of the Cup Castro de vea that started with an online race between Getxo and Castro.

This Sunday, from 12.30 p.m., a test dating from 1907 is decided in the waters of the Cantabrian town. The more than 30 Vizcaina and Cantabra crews are looking to raise one of the most beautiful trophies in this sailing sport. If you win a canteen boat, the Cup that represents a sailor holding a buoy will remain in Castro; if you do it you will be at the Real Club Marítimo del Abra - Real Sporting Club, which organizes this historic championship next to the Real Club Nautico de Castro Urdiales.

The first race began in the outside Abra peach water at 1.50 p.m. The Yamamay of Javier Gallo, winner in 16 editions, is the leader of the general classification, with the Kenex of Ignacio Giménez second and the Rat Pack of Javier CHA varri third. The Cup Castro is 118 years old and is one of the most persecuted trophies by the Basque and Cantabra crews in this final section of the 2025 calendar. The computation of the two days will determine the winner of this test with so much solera.
