The 420 fleet of Club Náutico Jávea continues with its calendar for the season, and last weekend, three pairs went to the Open Bahía de Altea, which is a scoring event for regional ranking.

The event was attended by Ángel Poveda and Joel Ferrer, Arantxa Reig and Lucy Crosbie and Amelia & Elisabeth Baker. The best were Ángel Poveda and Joel Ferrer who were third in the overall standings, followed by the Reig-Crosbie pair; the Baker sisters were seventh.

The appointment was marked by the lack of wind in the bay of Altea, which allowed only two heats to be disputed.

The next appointment for the 420 fleet will be at Olympic Week in early February
