After seven weekends of racing from October 2017 to March 2018, hosted by Real Club Nautico Vigo, the Vigo J/70 Winter Series saw a repeat winner in the form of El NOTICIA, sailed the Cantabrian Pichu Torcida and Luis Martín Cabiedes from Madrid. They started off by winning the first weekend and never looked back, dominating the series from beginning to end and winning four of the seven acts. As a result, they were declared winners of the Linde Sogacsa Trophy. “We are very satisfied with the result in the Linde-Sogacsa Trophy Winter Series, especially since this season has been very windy; a weather condition where we were weakest last year. Thanks to the changes we have made, we have improved a lot in the big breeze! We want to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate our sponsor and RCN Vigo and all those who have worked hard to organize this event of such high level,” commented Pichu Torcida. “We hope to see you all again soon for the Spring Series and, even, the J/70 Europeans in June!” Second place overall went to Luís Bugallo’s MARNATURA, skippered by José Luís Freire. ABRIL VERDE sailed by Luis Pérez Canal from the host Real Club Náutico de Vigo sailed all seven events and were clearly the top Corinthian team as well. Rounding out the top five were Juan Deben’s LAGUARDA & MOREIRA (skippered by Gonzalo Araújo’s) in fourth place and Manuel Bermudez De Castro’s SOLVENTIS taking fifth place.
