First race aboard the new J99 “JIPI”

Magnificent organization of the Real Club Nautico de Sotogrande both on land and at sea of the race “XXI Copa de Sotogrande” for cruises and monotypes.

With a high participation of ORC cruises and monotypes J 80 and Tom 28, this race began with variable west winds that allowed us to make all the planned tasks. The first day with a coastal race of 20 miles between Sotogrande and Gibraltar and the second day with a Windward-Leeward.

Magnificent sensations on board our new boat J99, but a serious error during the first day in the coastal route deprived us of winning the Championship, although it allowed us to make a podium. The championship, had a fair winner, the “Al Tarik” intractable in these coasts, with a solid crew commanded by Jose Luis Perez Navarro and Jose Canales.

Congratulations to the Real Club Nautico de Sotogrande and all his team, for getting in these times that run, organize a high quality race on land and at sea.
