The concluding day of the competition produced the most reliable wind of the series with 8-12 knots from the southwest

The wind returned to Sanxenxo for the fourth day of the Xacobeo Six Metre European Championship 2022 and after two frustrating breezeless days the fleet was able to enjoy three fiercely fought races, races three to five in the eight-race series.

Day two of Racing in Sanxenxo once again sees a lack of wind in the Ria de Pontevedra. Despite the Race Committee’s utmost efforts to start racing, the boats were forced to return to shore without competing in the two programmed races.

Unstable and practically non-existent wind conditions in the Ria de Pontevedra, prevent today’s programmed races from taking place for day two of the World Championships.

After the first two races in the Ria de Pontevedra, the fleet has begun to take their positions on the general leader board, which promises to be extremely close. Bribon 500 in the Classics division and Momo in the Open are the first leaders in the general classification.

The Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo village today officially inaugurated the world championships by celebrating the opening ceremony.

On Friday 10th June Sanxenxo will be host to a privileged warm-up for the Xacobeo 6mR Worlds, with a selection of teams including the very best sailors in the national and international arena.

This weekend the Rey Juan Carlos / El Corte Inglés Máster Regatta will celebrate its seventh edition as the prelude to the Xacobeo 6mR Worlds, the 6-Metre class World Championships.

“Nirvana” which will have Andy Postle at the helm, is the first British boat to enter the Six Metre Worlds which will be held in Sanxenxo, Spain in June.
