Bruno Iglesiasfrom the Club Náutico Deportivo de Ribeira, has been proclaimed absolute winner of the Meeting Gadis-Gran Premio City of A Coruña, an Abanca Week event reserved for the optimist class and organized by the Real Club Náutico Coruña, in memory of its great historical president Aurelio Fernández Lage. In the female category, the best was Aitana Perez Gonzalez from the Mount Baiona Royal Yacht Club, which was tenth overall.
The Arousa estuary sailor was escorted on the podium by two great promises of Spanish sailing, Fernando Gonzalez del Castillo of the host club and Luis Wizner Perez-Lafuente of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, son of the historic Andalusian snipe pattern and of the great heavy sailing classes, such as the Copa América: Laureano Wizner.
Sunday’s day had acceptable wind and sea conditions, with a prevailing wind from the south of 10 knots. The first round on Sunday was won by Bruno Iglesias, while the second was for his great rival, the Herculean Fernando González del Castillo.
