The weather puts the sailors to the test in the President's A2 Cruiser Trophy of the CN Portitxol

The Club Nàutic Portitxol (CNP) held last Saturday the sixth edition of the President's A2 Cruising Trophy, an event with a marked social character with which the club shows its commitment to sailing in all its variants.

The weather made it difficult, with a strong force 5 westerly wind, with gusts of 20 to 30 knots, which raised a very large wave and forced a delay in the start and led to the withdrawal of a large part of the fleet.

In the end, six boats set off, and fortunately the weather conditions became milder throughout the regatta. The winner of the VI President's Trophy was "Azuree" (RCNP), followed by "Guaguanco IV" (CN Altea) and "Histolab" (RCNP).

"This coastal regatta was born six years ago to reinforce the cruising regatta offer for our members, together with the extension of the Saturday regattas. The Hoyo 10 Trophy for Cruisers already existed, and we decided to create a new event in 2-handed mode, so that sailors could enjoy a day of sailing different to what they are used to", says the CNP Sailing spokesman, Emiliano Llinàs.
