CVPA hosts the fourth race of the Two Seasons League

On the eve of the feast of Saint Sebastian, the Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx kicked off the season with the first regatta of the year for the Cruiser class, corresponding to the fourth race of the Two Seasons League.

After heavy rainfall overnight, the weather offered a brief respite, leaving residual swell and a light easterly breeze along the stretch of coast between La Mola and Santa Ponça Bay. With overcast skies along the Tramuntana coast and a clearer horizon offshore, the two ORC fleet classes faced a course of nearly ten nautical miles, rounding Cape Andritxol and Cape Llamp on the outbound and return legs.

The race was decided after just over two hours of sailing, with a shifting and increasingly unstable sirocco wind as midday approached. “Kine”, skippered by Sean McCarter, was the first boat to cross the finish line in real time and also claimed victory on corrected time. It was followed by “Just the Job”, sailed by Scott Beattie, and “JAU!”, skippered by Joan Company.

In the ORC 5 category, victory went to “Calm Days”, sailed by Luís Portella, joined on the podium by “Just 4 Fun”, sailed by Silvia Cabrera, and “Tentol”, skippered by Pau Herrera.

As Storm Harry moves eastward, sunshine is once again prevailing over the harbor while the town prepares to honor its patron saint. Meanwhile, the Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx is already looking ahead to February, when a new regatta is scheduled to take place.
