Second Day: Little wind and "Movistar" takes in command

The lack of wind was yesterday's note at the XV "Infanta Elena" - Trofeo Abanca Regata, which organizes the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña. The day began with a deferral on the ground so the departure was already delayed in its beginning. Only one of the two sleeves could be held from 1.30 p.m. In this tour, in the class ORC 0-1-2 and 3, and about 6 miles, the "Movistar" was imposed, ahead of the "Inosa," by Fran Edreira, which is held firm for one of the privileged positions in the final classification. Third in this manga was the "U-47," by José María Peinó, while the "Mirfak," with Diego López of pattern, won the fourth place. With these results the provisional general classification leads the "Movistar," with 5 points; second is "Mirfak," with 8 points, and third the "U-47," with 10.

First Day: The Infanta Elena begins with surprise, "Mirfak" leader

The "Mirfak," with Diego López in the cane, of the Naval League of Ferrol, provisionally heads the general of the XV Regata "Infanta Elena" -Trofeo Abanca, after the first two sleeves held yesterday in the Coruñesa Bay, and which organizes the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, with the collaboration of the Spanish Association of Nautical Clubs. The second manga was won by the "Inosa," by Fran Edreira, who imposed himself on "Movistar," by Pablo Iglesias and "Mirfak."

The Farr of the Spanish Navy "Mirfak" patrolled by Diego López has given the bell on the first day

It is worth noting that the "Inosa" which now occupies the fourth place in the general, while the "Movistar" is in the expectation with two seconds on, and equal to points with the Navy ship. Third in the general, with seven points, is the "U-47," by José María Peinó. With these results, the missing days can find some surprises, especially by being able to rule out one of the sleeves, so the Inosa is well placed on the end of the week, and so there is a strong competition between the four ships that lead the general. In the first manga, the "Mirfak," of the Naval Regatas Club, and patronized by Diego López, was surprised to take on the great favorite, the "Movistar," of Pablo Iglesias, but the ferroman ship made a good race. The third was the "U-47," by José María Peinó, and the fourth was the "Inosa," by Fran Edreira, although he had to overcome a penalty, out of line.

At 1230 hours on Saturday, the ships of ORC or, 1.2 and 3 will be released, which will take two tests along the day between the batons (barlovento-sotavento). The other classes, ORC 4, "mini 7" and "Open" (where the classic ships, which are over 25 years old, have also been grouped) will leave at 3.30 p.m. for a coastal tour. The "J-80" is expected to carry out three sleeves, also on a barlovento-sotavento route.

Official submission

The Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña presented in society the fifteenth edition of the race created in honor of the Infanta Elena, which responsored Abanca. This series is remarkable for the Trophy President of the Xunta of Galicia, a trophy created with great interest in the time of the former president of the highest Galician institution, but it has declined very much because it has no echo in the Galician fleet, which is usually limited to the participation of a ship of the Regatas Team of Pedro Campos, read Movistar, and little more. It is clear and necessary that the duty to lift this project should be given to those responsible. The Organization speaks of a participation of more than thirty ships, among which will be ships of all kinds to save the brown of each year: J-80, the so-called "mini" (?), the "classics..." or a race to the "tutti fruti" to which we are already used in both Galicia and Andalusia, in the face of the ever smaller and older fleet we have.

Don Javier, who was a Comodoro del Nautico in the 1980s, is a great fan of the cruise sailing and remarkable connoisseur of the nautical culture. From the Nautico the participation among other ships of "Movistar," patroniado by Pablo Iglesias, recent winner of the Copa del Rey in Palma, as well as of "Mirfak," by Diego López; the Gómez, "by Andrés Soto or the" U-47, "by José María Peinó.
