In the category Techno 293 OD, the regatist Claudia Lorenzo, followed by the Canary Islands Cristina Marcello, will lead the competition.

As in previous days, there are no changes in the first F18 posts where the Germans continue to lead the classification without giving the other participants greater options. The first, once again, Helge and Christian Sach and second place Justus Wolf with Max Said. A turn, yes, in the first adapted sailing positions 2.4, which now has Finnish Anna Liisa Oxby as first ahead of her eternal rival, her compatriot, Jussi Ahlstrom.

On the other hand, Rosa Padron and Luis Poladura achieved the final victory in this competition in the Hansa 303 Double class.

03 / 12 / 2016: The Olympic Sailing Week with local domain began in Las Palmas

Local domain on the first day of the Canary Olympic Week of Sailing. The sailors of the Royal Nautical Club of Gran Canaria head the first posts in most of the categories that were disputed today. The lack of wind became one more protagonist on this first day. The Regatas Committee gave the way out on different occasions as the wind was jumping but the "gilded" appeared and was chosen to stop competing. The wind roles from the north, south and west complicated and marked this Saturday in the bay of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The fleet was in the water about four and a half hours. The results of the evidence that could be disputed are as follows. In Laser Standard Joel Rodríguez, a leading regatist of our Club, he was first left while Zan Luka Zelko of Slovenia is second. The classification of 29 is as follows: the navigators of the Club Andrés Barrios and Néstor Vega first and Alejandro Cantero with Jesús García, in second position.
