A long, intense morning which had an excellent result for the Universitat de València, proclaimed autonomic champion of sail yesterday in the Royal Sailor Club of Calpe. This Sailor Club will hold the Spanish University Championship (CEU) from 9 to 12 May supported by the Universitat.
As predicted by the sailing team selector Juan Calvo ─ he expected that the two crews of the Universitat could end up in the Top 3 for a third consecutive year: “We had great level and the truth is that we expected to get to the podium with both ships”.
The Universitat comes back home with its first crew unbeaten and holding the golden medal, the clasification to compete in the CEU as the host of the national university competition.
The winning crew ─which also won the intern competitions─ was commanded by Ramón Portolés, the ship’s master, and were composed by Javier Martínez, Miguel Cebolla, Javier Dusmet and Pau Chirivella. The second ship could not make it until the final and was leaded by Francisco Alcázar (master) and completed by Juan Álex Parlatay, Rosa Contell, Agustín Llopis and Helena Escrivá.
