The turn in La Coruña for the closing event, as far as sailing competitions are concerned, of the Abanca Week and beginning of the concept A Coruña Náutical Festival, which in its second edition will hold four great nautical competitions in the city of Herculina: female sailing, pyragüismo, náutico-wakeboard ski and base sailing. The first of it is the prestigious Trophy Isabel Zendal, which this weekend will bring together eight crews from different Spanish nautical clubs, which organizes the centenary Real Club Náutico de La Coruña.

After the day of training on Friday, the director of the Jano Toro race, will be the one to do as master of ceremonies at 9: 30 in the morning in the draw of the ships for the different tandas; and if the wind meets, the successive races in groups of four ships, will be incited an hour later. Sunday will begin at 9: 00 in the morning, with the final from 11: 00... and the order of the first four teams being established.

For Galicia the crews of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña compete with the Olympic medal Sofia Toro of Patrona and the Monte Real Club of Yates of Baiona that will have Carlota Hernández, a patron of many carats. The Real Club Náutico de Gran Canaria will be one of the great favorites with Cristina Martínez Doreste at the front with an exceptional palmarés in the candle.

By Euskadi two teams, the one that leads the vizcana Joana Abasola and that represents the Real Club Marítimo del Abra - Real Sporting Club (is subchampion of Spain and won this year the Count of Godó in Barcelona) and the world champion of J80, the Donostiarra Olatz Muñoz that leads the team of the Real Club Nautico de San Sebastián... one of the best Spanish canals of the last years; they will also compete in the Club Náutico de Puerto Polensa de Baleares and the Spanish Navy with a crew that will represent the Commission of Vandraz, with the Vandraz, with the Commission of the Vandraz.

It should be noted that the organizers' greatest concern is the maximum equality of the J80 that will be used in the competition: they will compete with five crew members, they will be delivered three candles (major, foque and gennaker), and the allocation will always be by lot... to compete in short-term technical tracks that will have direct judgment. In such a way that the judges will indicate by a system of flags whether or not the ship in question has committed an infringement; the order of the classification, for real time... without any compensation. After the first day that is presumed long and hard, the crews will attend the reception to be held at 8: 30 in the afternoon at the emblematic seat of the Coruñés Nautico, which on Sunday will welcome the closing at the edge of the five in the afternoon.
