GO FIT Leads Trofeo El Mundo Cantabria(Algorta, Spain)- The J/80s in Spain continue their spring series in their various sailing regions. Held over several weekends, these regatta serve to warm-up their teams to world-championship calibre in a very short period of time-- all possible due to the high level of talent in their fleets, giving many sailors the chance to practice and train hard against Olympic and World Champions!
In the Trofeo Primavera being sailed off Punta Galea near Algorta, Spain, the MANDOVI team is setting the pace, having won two races last weekends. MANDOVI now sits in first place with only six points followed by JET SET and FREUS that are tied on ten points each.
Over
in Santander, the J/80s are racing for the title of Champion of El
Trofeo El Mundo Cantabria- in short, "Champion of the Cantabrian
World". A bit tongue-in-cheek, of course, but no less fun and serious
for the top teams practicing for the upcoming worlds just under two
months away in Dartmouth, England.After last weekend's racing, it is David Madrazo's team on GO FIT that is leading with a strong, consistent performance of a 7-2-2-1-2-2 for only 9 total points. Immediately behind him are two J/80 World Champions, with Ignacio Camino on NEXTEL ENGINEERING with a 5-3-1-3-8-3 for 15 pts, good enough for second place, and Pichu Torcida on ECC VIVIENDAS in third with a 1-20-5-7-4-1 for 18 pts. Rounding out the top five are Jesus Gonzalez on RAITAN with a 6-17-7-2-6-5 for 26 pts in fourth and in fifth is Tonio Piris on the familiar YATES Y COSAS, starting out strong with a 3-1-4-5 but DNC'd the last two races for a total of 43 pts.
