Javier de la Gándara consolidates his leadership in the Banco Sabadell Class J80 Trophy

· With the results achieved this Saturday in Baiona, the sailor from Vigo distances himself from his rivals and places Okofen one step away from winning the trophy

Luis de Mira’s Namasté completed two good races today and managed to sneak into second place on the provisional podium closely followed by Miudo

· The Banco Sabadell Class J80 Trophy organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates will be decided at the end of the month with the last day of testing on Saturday 26

Baiona, November 12, 2016.- Aboard the Okofen, the historic sailor from Vigo, Javier de la Gándara, consolidated his leadership this Saturday in the Banco Sabadell Class J80 Trophy, which disputed its third day in the Bay of Baiona with very complicated conditions for navigation.

Very intense showers at times and a very light and very shifty wind greatly hindered the work of the regatta committee, which was able, despite everything, to start two tests for the J80 fleet called by the Monte Real Club de Yates in its league of autumn

There were two windward-leeward routes in which the monotypes, with few exceptions, achieved very different results. In the first race, Miguel Lago’s Virazón clearly prevailed, moving away from the rest of the boats from the opening minutes and comfortably crossing the finish line in first position.

In the second race, however, Virazón had less luck and fell to fifth place, just the opposite of Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who rose from sixth to first and reaffirmed their leadership of the competition.

With 11 points in the general classification, De la Gándara’s crew moves away from their rivals and Okofen is one step away from winning the Banco Sabadell Class J80 Trophy, which will be decided at the end of the month on the last day of tests.

As for the rest of the qualifiers, it is worth noting the performance of Luis de Mira’s Namasté, who entered the provisional podium after abandoning the fourth place that he had been dragging since the start of the championship and moving up to second, unseating Miudo from that position, skippered by Tiago Roquette from Porto.

Also to be distinguished on this third day are the crew of Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes, one of the most regular, with two second places in the two races held; and the incorporation of a new boat to the J80 fleet of Baiona, in Cansino, owned by Fernándo Yáñez and Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui, which will compete from now on with the rest of the monotypes.

Thus, with De la Gándara’s Okofen in the lead, Luis de Mira’s Namasté and Tiago Roquette’s Miudo in second and third position separated by just one point, and the rest of the fleet more grouped in the rest of the positions , the excitement continues to know who will finally win the Banco Sabadell Class J80 Trophy from the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The J80 class returns to the water this Saturday in Baiona with the Banco Sabadell Trophy

· The one-design regatta organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club crosses its equator this Saturday with Javier de la Gándara leading the trophy

On board the Okofen, the sailor from Vigo was placed at the head of the provisional classification after winning the first day of tests held in October

· The Portuguese crew of the Miudo will try to improve their position in the table and close the gap of just two points that separates them from the provisional leader

The Banco Sabadell Trophy returns to Baiona this Saturday with a new day of regattas for the J80 monotypes, which will be held from three in the afternoon in the waters of the Bay of Baiona.

The competition, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates, crosses its equator with Javier de la Gándara leading the trophy. The sailor from Vigo was placed at the head of the provisional classification after winning, aboard the Okofen, in the first stage of tests, held last October.

After the suspension of the second day due to lack of wind, the regatta committee hopes to be able to start, this Saturday, several windward-leeward routes, in which the one-design fleet will compete in real time. If the weather forecasts are met, the wind this time will not be an impediment for the sailboats to compete in the scheduled tests.

In addition to Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who leads the table with 4 points, we will also have to pay close attention to the Miudo’s Portuguese crew, led on this occasion by Tiago Roquette, who will try to overcome the barely two points that distance them from pride of place.

Somewhat lower in the provisional classification, although separated by more than 5 points from Okofen and Miudo, are Pazo de Cea, skippered by Javier Rey; and the Namaste by Luis de Mira.

After this Saturday’s day in Baiona, the Banco Sabadell Class J80 Trophy will only have one last day of tests left before the final awards ceremony, which will be held on the 26th at the Monte Real Club de Yates.
