The Gallego Sailing Center of Vilagarcía de Arousa hosted this past weekend the Spanish Championship of Olympic Classes, an event framed within the Galician Olympic Week organized by the Royal Galician Sailing Federation. The competition took place in the 49er and 470 Mixed categories, with the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife having the participation of Andrea Stinga and Gabriel Gallego. The two Lanzarote sailors showed great consistency, winning the sub-championship of Spain in 470 Mixed in the under-24 category.
Andrea Stinga and Gabriel Gallego, with the support of CACT Lanzarote, represented the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife in the Spanish 470 Mixed Championship. The competition had the participation of eight teams and throughout the weekend the wind blew from the northeast with an intensity between 10 and 14 knots, which allowed the completion of the nine scheduled races.
The sailors from the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife concluded the first day with two third places and a fifth position, leading the general classification of the under-24 category along with Pol Mateu and Ariadna Suárez. On Saturday, they again finished two of the races in third place and in the last one they crossed the finish line in sixth position. And on Sunday, they placed sixth, third, and fifth in the three races held.
Andrea Stinga and Gabriel Gallego finished the competition with a total of 31 points, occupying the fourth position in the general classification of the Spanish 470 Mixed Championship and managing to be the sub-champions of Spain in the under-24 category. The sailors from the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife were only three points behind the lead in their category.
The president of the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife, Julio Romero, and the Board of Directors, wish to congratulate Andrea Stinga and Gabriel Gallego for the sub-championship of Spain in the 470 Mixed class, for carrying out a great competition in Vilagarcía de Arousa and for bringing the club's name to the second step of the podium in the under-24 category.
