Solings are ready for the Friendship cup being held by the RCNM at the Embalse de San Juan.

Many teams already arrived at the swamp, and already started the camaraderie, those earlier arrivals are being hosted for a BBQ at the palace from team GER 1. The RCNM, has worked the past weeks to ensure everything are ready for this international even that starts tomorrow June 13 and ends on the 15. Boats were reviewed, cleaned and some masts were stepped. New sails were acquired, a big effort from the fleett.

The event that follows a different format, does not need you to bring your Soling, neither sail, just your sailing gear and during the regatta the teams are switched into different boats. The racing which will have a qualification series to then split into gold and silver fleet for the last and conclusive races.

All teams are staying in the nearby areas or inside the Yacht Club which prepared a nice marine room with new installations, etc.

Starting tomorrow the club bar/restaurant will open at 0900 am and closes only at 0900pm allowing the competitors to feed themselves.

Teams from Germany and Spain (strongest squads) will face the French, Italian, Portugues, and US teams. A quite international event to be sailed in a romantic swap right outside the emblematic and imponent Madrid, destination for many previously the event,,,”tapas” are always a necessity.

Friday the first racing day will start late, but with summer knocking there is plenty of daylight to achieve 3 to 4 races, since this format the ones are quite short.

A BBQ feedback will be posted tomorrow, after we see the promised pictures.
