The weather was favorable and a great sporting spectacle took place on the waters of the beaches of Pinedo and l'Arbre del Gos that showed the good form of the Valencian and Alicante clubs. The competition, which is organized by the Rowing Federation of the Valencian Community with the financial support of SUMA Gestión Tributaria, thus completes its first regatta of the eleven scheduled on the calendar.
