Unai de Ugarte and Adriana Bravo de Laguna were proclaimed champions of the Canary Islands Cup in the under-18 category, and Fayna Tavío did so in the under-16 female category.
The Real Club Náutico de Arrecife sailing team that participated this weekend in the Canary Islands Cup of ILCA 4 was made up of Mateo Roa, Adriana Bravo de Laguna, Pablo Eusebio Fontes, Unai de Ugarte, and Fayna Tavío.
