The Round Robin was comleted at the Master of Spain Match Race the Round Robin that lasts until on Saturday 23 October, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates de Bayona. Thanks to the determination of the International Race Committee, and the work of the course layers, the race area changed in each Flight, at the mercy of the dominant wind.
Just like yesterday the yachtsmen were on the water at 10,00 o'clock in the morning, with the difference today being that they were able to begin punctually and race until 11,30 o'clock. In that time they managed to complete 3 Flights.
Then they returned to land and at 13,30 o'clock again went sailing in the bay of Baiona, with the wind from the northwest maintained all the afternoon, although shifting some degrees to the left and right, with a top speed of 17 knots.
The Portuguese Álvaro Marinho was best today on the water, next to the French sailor Alexis Littoz-Baritel, who was almost undefeated throughout the 10 Flights completed on this second day. The Portuguese is in first place in the semi-finals, with a percentage of 89% wins compared with losses. Frenchman Alexis Littoz-Baritel is second, with an accumulated score 78% as wins. The third place went to the South African Ian Ainslie, also on 78%, drawn with the Frenchman, but resolving in favour of the French from the clash between the two. Fourth is Pierre Antoine Morvan, fellow countryman of Littoz-Baritel, who fought, getting, in the end, a 67% win figure.

The listing of the fifth to the eighth places will be disputed between the Majorcan Manu Weiller, the Sevillian Juan Luis Páez, the Dane Joachim Aschenbrenner and the Spaniard Támara Echegoyen. They both had a success rate of 33% of races won. Out of every posiblidad already they have remained the Portuguese one David Aleixo and the English one David Tabb.
Tomorrow both phases will begin from the 10,00 hours in the morning, without the pressure to have to carry out the 45 Matches celebrated today since, on Wednesday, 15 Flights were raced.
Match Race Extreme Team Morbihan (Morvan, FRA) report that they lost two more matches today and only got through to the semi-finals on count-back, having finished level on points with Manuel Weiller, but having defeated him during the round robin.

El Máster de España completa el Round Robin en el encuentro del Match Race que hasta el sábado 23 de octubre organiza el Monte Real Club de Yates de Bayona. Gracias al tesón del Comité Internacional, y al trabajo de los balizadores, el campo se cambiaba en cada Flight a merced del viento dominante.
Al igual que ayer los regatistas estaban en el agua a las 10.00 horas de la mañana, con la diferencia que hoy si pudieron comenzar puntuales hasta que a las 11.30 horas se desvaneció el terral. Hasta ese momento se lograban celebrar 3 Flights.
Regreso a tierra y a las 13.30 horas nuevamente navegando en la bahía de Baiona, con viento del noroeste, que se mantuvo toda la tarde rolando unos grados a izquierda y a derecha, con puntas de 17 nudos.
El portugués Álvaro Marinho ha sido el mejor hoy en el agua, junto al francés Alexis Littoz-Baritel, casi imbatidos a lo largo de los 10 Flights consumados en esta segunda jornada. El portugués se ubica en la primera plaza de semifinales, con un porcentaje del 89%, en el rating del Master. El segundo puesto es para el francés Alexis Littoz-Baritel, con un 78% de triunfos acumulados. La tercera plaza se la adjudica el sudafricano Ian Ainslie, con otro 78%, empatado con el galo, pero resolviendo a favor del francés el enfrentamiento entre ambos. Cuarto es Pierre Antoine Morvan, compatriota de Littoz-Baritel, que aun luchará por meterse en la final, con un 67%.
El listado del quinto al octavo saldrá de entre el mallorquín Manu Weiller, el sevillano Juan Luis Páez, el danés Joachim Aschenbrenner y la gallega Támara Echegoyen. La pontevedresa octuvo un 33% de triunfos. Fuera de toda posiblidad ya se han quedado el portugués David Aleixo y el inglés David Tabb.
Mañana ambas fases comenzarán a partir de las 10.00 horas de la mañana, sin la presión de tener que realizar los 45 Match celebrados hasta el día de hoy desde ayer miércoles, incorporados a los 15 Flights.
