The wind conditions today, blowing from the N-NE with an intensity of 16 to 20 knots, allowed the celebration of four races that validated the Canary Islands 420 Championship, which required two races to obtain official status. The decision of the Regatta Committee, headed by Justino Núñez, to bring the race course closer to the coast with the windward buoys near land, allowed many fans to follow the races from the avenue.

The victory in the third race went to Andrea Stinga and Gabriel Gallego (RCN Arrecife), who finished second in the overall and in the men's, winners in the mixed category.
