SPAIN / By Carmen Gomaro

The 'Bribón', captained by Juan Carlos I, has achieved first position in the regattas that have been held this weekend, in the Pontevedra municipality of Sanxenxo.

Thus, with the ex-monarch at the helm, the boat has arrived at port minutes before 4:15 p.m., after more than three hours of navigation through the Pontevedra estuary.

Although on Saturday the 'Bribón' finished second, this Sunday the wind has blown in his favor and he has won first position.

In this way, minutes after 12:30 p.m. the 'Bribón' has cast off. On the starboard side, he was tied up by the semi-rigid auxiliary boat 'Cristina' until he went around the breakwater.

For her part, the Infanta Elena has sailed, this Sunday, aboard the sailboat 'Alibabá II' which, captained by Miguel Lago, has achieved second position. Third place was taken by the sailboat 'Aida'.

These two days of sailing have been those of the XXIV Carlos I Silgar Hotel Trophy regatta for 6m class boats, which is also the fifth scoring for the V Spanish League Circuit for this type of boat.
