In addition to the cruiser categories, the Comunica Trophy included two more groups for J80 and Fígaros monotypes, in which the organizing club’s boats had absolute prominence. Both fleets completed the same route designed for the rest of the ships, starting in front of the transatlantic pier in Vigo, passing through the La Negra and Carallones beacons, and arriving inside the Bay of Baiona.
In the J80 class, victory went to Manuel María Cunha’s Marías, and second and third place for Javier Rey’s Virazón and Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, respectively.

Organized with the sponsorship of the Comunica company and the collaboration of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo and the Galician Sailing Federation, the Comunica Trophy is the first major regatta that the Monte Real Club de Yates celebrates in 2017, after the J80 league that organized at the beginning of the year exclusively for these monotypes.
The next sporting event for the Baiona club is the Spring Regatta – Repsol Trophy, which will be held on April 29 and 30 and May 1 in Baiona. It is one of the most classic tests of Monte Real that this year, in addition, is celebrating its anniversary, as it celebrates its fortieth edition.
