The international women's sailing event in Marina Greenwich closes with the UK's Royal Thames YC as the champions. The Germans from Hamburger Segel Club EV and the Spanish team from RCN Calpe 1 completing the podium after completing eleven races over the two days of competition.
The last race, race 11, saw victory for the representatives of the RCN of Madrid, with Elena Raga at the helm; the RCM del Abra - Real Sporting Club, led by Inés Álvarez, also racked up a second place in race 10.
The Royal Thames YC of London has taken the baton from the RCN of Calpe by winning the Greenwich Women's Cup trophy, in a second day in which there was only one race left to close the round robin, so the committee was forced to close the series before the 12th race, establishing the average of the results obtained between the teams that should have closed the round robin.
The London team, which today entered the competition together with the German Hamburger Segel Club EV and the Turkish Istanbul Sailing Club, has achieved four victories, three of them in a row. The team led by Ella Brown has shown its solidity and level in a complicated regatta area, with a wind that has been increasing in intensity and swell.
Sarah Moreau's RCN Calpe 1, despite the good results on Saturday and Sunday, has not been able to defend the title. The Calpe women finished in third place, behind the German team, with Anna Rupp at the helm, also with four wins.
The trophy ceremony, held in the social area of Marina Greewinch, was attended by Diego Zaragozí, Mayor of Altea, accompanied by the Councillors for Sports and Tourism: Sara Soler and Xelo González, respectively; Pinar Coskuner, President of EUROSAF; Carlos Torrado, President of the Sailing Federation of the Valencian Community and Javier de Cespedes, Captain of Puerto Marina Greenwich, among other personalities.
