Robles-Trittel Win Spanish Cup |
|
 The Real Club Náutico de Santander hosted this years’ Spanish Cup from September 7th to 10th. A record of 27 boats participated from seven regions in Spain, which shows the positive development of the 29er class in Spain after only a few years of existence. 9 races were sailed in moderate wind conditions between 6 – 12 knots. With 9 out of 9 wins Carlos Robles and Florian Trittel (CN El Balís) of the “Team Movistar-Magic Marine” won the title ahead of Martí Llena with Oriol Mahiques (CN Garraf) and Patricia Coro with Cristina Rodes (CN El Balís). Nil Mas with Jordi Llena (CN Garraf) finished fourth, so that all four top teams came from the Barcelona region.
