Russia Takeover in Spain at Gran Canaria Trophy
Fielding 9 of the 13 teams competing at the Gran Canaria Trophy 2014, it was no surprise to see Russia dominating the podiums for the 470 Men and Women fleets. Hosted by the Real Club Nautico de Gran Canaria, frrom 10-12 January, the 8 race series was contested over 3 days of racing in the Bay of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Results were close, with just 5 points separating the 470 men podium.
Double wins for Russia who claimed victory in both the 470 Men and 470 Women events, who were awarded separate prizes, but raced in one fleet. Pavel Sozkyin/Denis Gribanov took the overall win, counting 3 race victories in their scoreline, with a 2 point margin over team mates and top women’s team Alisa Kirilyuk/Liudmila Dmitricva, with Spain’s Raico Tabares/Alfredo Gonzalez just 1 point behind in third.
