Maurovich, Quirante, and Llorens Dominate the 11th Julián Vilás Foundation Regatta

This weekend, the 11th Julián Vilás Foundation Regatta was held, reserved for vessels in the Optimist, Ilca 4, and Ilca 6 classes. The event was organized by the Ibiza Yacht Club in collaboration with the Balearic Sailing Federation and sponsored by the Julián Vilás Foundation; which once again committed to the celebration of this nautical sports event for children and youth sailing classes in its eleventh edition.

The competition consisted of four races completed on Sunday, March 30th. Racing was not possible on Saturday, March 29th due to strong gusts recorded in the Talamanca area, with strong northeast winds between 24 and 32 knots, forcing the postponement of the start of the races, which began on Sunday morning with a north wind of 8 to 14 knots intensity, optimal conditions for practicing this sport.

After the competition held in the waters off Talamanca Beach, Ian Maurovich finally was the best in the Optimist class, totaling 4 points in the overall final and reaffirming the victory achieved last year.
