Tomorrow the sixth event of the International Barcelona Winter Series of J70 starts in Condal City, a high-level competition that has been held monthly since September under an impeccable organization of the Real Club Nautico of Barcelona. The competition consists of seven events and will end in March coinciding with the first series of the International Barcelona Spring Regatta, which will consist of three more events (March, April and May).

Although, for the time being, the most regular have proved to be the canaries of the HSN Sailing Team, Bodega Can Marlés, who are second to the general and the latest event and Noticia, third to the general and winner of the fifth event. Other high-level teams that have won one of the previous series are the German Diva (winner of the fourth series), the Danes of the Sassy (winners of the third event), the Galician Marnatura (who awarded the second event and the Spanish Cup), and the British of the Seriousfun (winners of the first event in September). Other leading teams in this competition are: HangTen, Let it Be or the Portuguese Active Sailing.

On the one hand, the high level of participation has reached 30 teams and a good level in the last series, coming from European countries such as the United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Montenegro and Spain. This winter circuit that is held in Barcelona City, the venue of the next J70-class absolute European Championship, is very successful among the participants due to many factors: climatology, fleet, organization and technology.
