The Spain J80 Cup held from June 18 to 20 in Biscayan waters of Abra, left us great moments of overcoming and perseverance. A regatta competition where a total of 36 boats faced each other, with a high level among their crew. And it is that within the participants, there were several world and Spanish champions. An unrepeatable encounter.

The ship “NewWind Foods” was the leader of the first day and strengthened its position in a second day in which it proved to be the clear winner of this competition. His employer is nothing more and nothing less than Pablo Santurde.

AGAINST ALL ODDS

Despite the good weather conditions and the force of the wind in the first two days, the weather changed, subsequently causing a continuous fight with the participants. On the third and final day, the wind was present, causing a two-hour wait to continue with the test. Finally, Pablo Santurde took first place on the seventh and last day.

The J80 class in Spain is very popular and has a very high level. In this Cup we have done very well, with some lucky breaks that are also needed. And we are very happy.
