The 140 registered sailors, of 9 nationalities had to work hard today in the bay of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The first two tests of this Saturday were disputed with little wind of northwest direction, of about five knots, with many roles and with a race course difficult for all of them. The sailors had to be very attentive to the pressure of the wind gusts. The ones who took advantage of these streaks and their roles made a difference.

When competitors started the third race the wind rose to 8 knots with flat sea and sun.

The 420 and 29er events of today and tomorrow are also part of the Canary Championship of these classes, qualifying for the Championship of Spain to be held in Vigo, for class 420 and in Ibiza for class 29er to be played in Easter.
