Samuel Beneyto from RCNGC continues leader, Arnau Gelpí from CN El Balís takes the second position and third is the Swedish Lagerberg.

After the second day of competition, Samuel Beneyto (RCNGC) does not give up the leadership (RCNGC) followed by Arnau Gelpí (CN El Balís), winner of this competition last year. The third place has been for the Swedish Calle Lagerberg in the only race that could be made today.

The harsh weather conditions have marked this second day of competition in the 31st edition of the AECIO Trophy. The strong wind in the early hours of the morning and the great swell in the bay of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, delayed the beginning of the competition. Finally, thanks to the wind down to 12 knots, at 4:00 p.m., the yellow group started and at 4:10 p.m., the red group. This leg ended with 8 knots of wind.

The best strategies among the sailors were the ones that gave them the best results in the overall results of this Wednesday and the race course was located in front of the area of the courts of the capital of Gran Canaria.

Since yesterday we can say that there are 7 nationalities represented in this important competition, as one of the children competing has preferred to do so under the flag of their country of origin, Finland. Therefore, the countries that compete until tomorrow in the waters of our coast are: Sweden, Russia, Belgium, Poland, Ireland, Finland and Spain.

Regarding the Autonomous Regions we have sailors from Galicia, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Cantabria and Baleares. From Canary Islands we have representation of several clubs of Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

There are four tests that have been made since the beginning of the competition counting today’s discard test for the sailors.
