Here are the results of the XXVIII Trofeo S.A.R. Princesa Sofia

celebrated last week in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.



After 8 races, run under 20 knots four of them, and 10-15 the rest, and

incredibly good sailing conditions, the results were as follows:



1.- Damian Borras/Javier Magro (my hero): 10 points.

2.- Gustaf Svensson/Lennart:              16    "

3.- Fredrik Segerstrom/Carl Terneus:      14    "

4.- Patrik Jonsson/Rickard Oberplicher:   37    "

5.- Juan Magro/Toyo Sintes		  45    "



Until 28 competitors.



As mentioned above, the sailing conditions were fantastic, and the

organization was at a good level. The only inconvenience, in my opinion,

is that an unusual race system was used, since in each race, we had two

upwinds, two downwinds and two reaches, finishing the rece when we

sailed on a reach.



The other point was that the previous week, the Spanish Cup was

celebrated in the Canary Islands, and some good sailors, such as

Fernando Rita, could not be in Palma.



The Trophy was clausured by the incredible Prize-giving ceremony,

conducted by the Royal Hihgness the King of Spain, and after that, all

sailors of all classes met along the night at the antique part of Palma.
