Toni and Claudia Pons are crowned absolute victors of the Snipe’s Artiem Circuit

The Club Marítimo de Mahón duo topped the weekend with 13 points, beating the Club Nàutic de Ciutadella pair, who finished with 20. This 7-point margin was enough for the Ponent crew to clinch the final victory with a 4-point lead over the Mahón team.

The Summer Cup stays in Mahón, while the Snipe’s Artiem Circuit crown goes to Ciutadella. The decisive fourth and final regatta of the circuit took place over the weekend of May 17th and 18th, with Jordi Triay and Lluís Mas finishing first in this leg. However, they couldn't make up enough ground to surpass Toni Pons and Claudia Pons, who placed second in the event but secured overall victory across all four races.

Favorable wind and sea conditions allowed for six races with one discard. Triay and Mas (Club Marítimo Mahón) led with 13 points (finishes of 6, 1, 1, 1, 4), followed by Toni and Claudia Pons (CN Ciutadella) with 20 points (2, 4, 2, 6, 6). The bronze went to Peter Saura and Borja Llopis (CM Mahón) with 21 points (1, 4, 3, 6, 7).

In the overall standings after four events, Toni and Claudia Pons emerged as champions with 54 points, narrowly edging out Jordi Triay and Sara Franceschi, who finished with 58 points. Fernando Rita and José María Ulldemolins rounded out the podium with 79 points.

Once again, Club Marítimo de Mahón expressed its gratitude to Artiem Hotels for their continued support of a circuit that holds special significance for the club. The trophy ceremony was held at the ARTIEM Carlos facilities, featuring appearances by the club’s vice president Arturo Palomo, commodore Antonio Pomar, and Ana Panera, director of ARTIEM Carlos.
