The "Inosa" of the Nautical Club of Sada, patronized by Francisco Edreira, winner of the Rías Altas 2016.

An irregular day of wind, to be no less, the fourth and final stage of the Rias Altas- English Court. The Dehler of Francisco Edreira "Inosa." the arrival in front of the sports facilities of the Real Club Nautico de La Coruña, obtaining a compensation of 08-06-04, just 00-20-45 less than the Gomez M.H. who patrons Andrés Soto, who was the second in real, not in compensation. The silver in the Cedeira--The Coruña was for the "Argallan." of the Club Marítimo de Oza that achieved a correction only 00.05.24 superior to the leader, being the third place for the "Mascato" by Enrique Vilariño, who has made a great race. So far the valid entries as the rest of them failed to enter... so the "Inosa." the 43 edition of this veteran race in stages, which is far from regaining the protagonism it deserves in the Spanish heavy candle, was raised with great comfort. May what is happening in this historic race be passed very soon... a past to forget and soon.

Third Day

"Inosa," by Francisco Edreira, is being untouchable in this edition of the "Rías Altas- The English Court," since yesterday he again won the Sada-Cedeira race, with a compensated chrono of 06.44.18. Although in real time the "Gomez," by Andrés Soto, of the Nautico de La Coruña first entered, he only took a little more than seven minutes to the ship of the Nautico de Sada, and this one was made for a compensated time with an advantage of 08.57. Between them is the absolute victory after the barefoot of the first stage. The bronze of this third stage was for the "Argallan" at 21.16, the fourth square for the "Mascato" of Enrique Vilariño at 26-04 and the fifth place was in favor of the "Alma do Mar" at 35.20. In Cedeira ten ships were able to enter, choosing to withdraw "La María" from Miguel Angel Fernández. So the general heads the "Inosa," with 3 points, and the second is the "Gómez," with 6 points.

Yesterday's race, between Sada and Cedeira, began at the scheduled time, with a wind of ten knots from the northwest. At the height of the mouth of the Ria de Ferrol these conditions changed, making the fog its appearance which made it difficult in many integers to navigate to the port of Cedeira. At the height of Corporal Prior "Inosa" and "Gómez" kept a prudent distance with the rest of the fleet. To the south of the Cape came a strong wind that encouraged the race and so they were coming very soon to Cedeira, where the award of this stage took place in which it collaborates with the Coruñés Nautico, the Cedeirés Concello. As it closes the fourth and final stage of the 43 Rías Altas- The English Court, between Cedeira and A Coruña, with 26 miles of tour, with departure also at 12: 00 in the morning.

Beautiful picture of the "Gómez" through the mythical Tower of Hercules.

Last hour from Malpica... Sada road... at 5: 00, 14 miles ahead.

It is now 1.30 p.m. on Friday and the wind has not made its appearance on the coast of Malpica. The judges' ship has decided to sail little by little with "the intelligence signal" up and order to be followed by the eight participating ships. To wait for the Eolo Of slabs.

This was the news at that time, but now a podo over 30 minutes ago has started the second stage, but with only 14 miles. The wind fault, which is something we can't control. It is a 10-kt north that has allowed the fleet to sail towards the beautiful Ria de Sada.

The first stage: only entered time "Inosa" and "Gómez"

Image of the exit from La Coruña. The Mascato is still going very well and is in the general room.

Departure at three in the afternoon from La Coruña with a loose north, with eight ships at the exit. On the turn of Guisanda the head was for the "Gomez." Along the 23 miles the wind shone by its absence from above all Punta Langoseira. At the last minute only two ships had crossed the arrival line: "Inosa" (Dehler 36) by Fran Edreira del Náutico de Sada, "Gómez" (Prima 38) by Andrés Soto of the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña. There are still three ships in a race at the edge of 10: 00 p.m. and the conditions are very bad with closed fog in Malpica... but they didn't make it, so with the quoted ones it was over. The "Mascato" by Enrique Vilariño, who made an excellent exit, turned to Guisanda in third place, but accused the lack of wind and entered the engine in Malpica. The departure for the second stage, Malpica- Sada, will be at 12: 00.

Before

The Rías Altas- El Corte Inglés Regata begins in the waters of the north of Galicia in which it will be its 43 edition, making it one of the Spanish series in stages with the greatest tradition. The "classic Coruñesa" however has not just started properly despite efforts on many occasions. Last year the bottom was reached as only three ships participated... for this year the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña thinks of 15 that we will see if they come true. Among the ships with the most specific weight to highlight the Prime 38 "Gómez Mostly Harmless" of Andrés Soto, as well as the "Victoria" of Jesus Pintos, one of our best heavy sailing patterns.

La Baraja del Mascato

Other units with possibilities to be up are the Delher 36 "Inosa" or the 40 "Mourisca..." but the star of the race will certainly be the "Mascato 47" the ship that Enrique Vilariño will take out with his crew 30 years ago, when almost all were 17 years old. The Contention-33 that was "Ardora" in the late 1970s, and that had a crew composed of Alfonso Paz Andrade, Julio González Babé, Gonzalo Romero, Fernando Escalera, Fernando Massó, Miguel Lago... and that managed to win nothing less than the Count of Godó Trophy and the Count of Gondomar Trophy... has been restored as originally and will be the color note, no doubt. We will follow this Regata on time, aboard the "Mascato 47."

The Baker Command of Rambo... Team Mascato 47: Quique and Caco Vilariño, Jorge Etcheverría, Sebastián Rico, Juanito Nogueira, Hector Guimaraens, Willy Blanco, Carlos Landa "Landita"... and the absence of Jaime Abella for the time being
