The Joaquín Comeche Memorial - La Menorquina Trophy brings together the categories

The Club Marítimo de Mahón hosted this weekend a disputed Memorial Joaquín Comeche - Trofeo La Menorquina that filled the Mahón inlet with wind, colour, competition and, above all, a lot of flavour.

The winners were Heros Pons Riveiro, Toni Mesquida, Roser Gregorio and Pablo Pardo in the different categories, Optimist D, Optimist, ILCA 4 and ILCA6 classes, respectively. 

The currents and the wind conditioned the regatta with a total of six races of which the worst result was discarded. 

As for the results, in Optimist, the bronze went to the local Miguel González with 28 points (11,4,5,6,2) although in this category, the competition was very close, which was resolved in favour of the member of the Club Marítimo de Mahón, Pablo Pardo, in the last of the six races disputed, finishing 4th, which meant a total of 16 points (1,5,3,3,3,4) to the 19 points of the sailor of the Club Náutico Ciutadella, Asier López de la Fuente (2,2,4,4,7). 

The sailor of the CMM, Andreu Villeyra, was second with 10 points (1,2,2,2,2,3) while the third step of the podium was for the athlete of the Club Náutico Villacarlos, Luce Martín, with 15 points (1,4,3,3,3,4).

In ILCA 4, Roser Gregorio was the most regular of the 4 races that could be disputed, as she won all of them and finished, after discarding, with 3 points. Neus Soler, from the Club Nàutic Ciutadella

Ciutadella was second with 7 points (2,3,2) while Sergi Pons Aguiló, from Club Náutico Villacarlos, was third with 8 points (3,2,3).

In ILCA 6, Toni Mesquida, from Club Nàutic Ciutadella, gave no option to his rivals and counted his four races as victories, finishing with 3 points (1,1,1). Silver went to Cate Labiano, from Club Marítimo de Mahón, with 6 points (2,2,2) while his teammate, Jonathan McGuire was third with 8 points (3,3,2).

The event was accompanied on the Club's esplanade by ‘La Menorquina’ products which the athletes were able to enjoy during the two days. The corporate pink of ‘La Menorquina’ initially flooded the Memorial with the welcome gifts for the participants followed by the ice creams which could be found in the boarding area.

The presentation of trophies will take place on the 14th of September at the Club Marítimo de Mahón's grand end of season gala.
