What is the balance you make of this runner-up you just get?

We started very well, as we got to the world with a lot of work done. The first day we were better than ourselves think. See us up he gave us a lot of encouragement. The second day we made a bad start and could not recover either boat. After that we could not fail but there was only one discard and that was ours. From there a lot of pressure, we had to do everything right to be up and we did.

How is a World Cup with these characteristics prepared?

We have been trained throughout the winter, maneuvers, something important because in a poorly executed maneuver you can lose many positions. Choosing types of sail, since it is vital to carry the optimum sail according to the type of wind you are going to do, wind study that is usually given in the racing field of Barcelona, ​​to see the most prevalent and then it is important to optimize a lot boat. There is no classification in real time but handicap apply which is then multiplied by the time taken and of course it is vital to take this into account to be as high as possible.

What was your role in the boat?

I was the lightest on the ship, it was the one that could best move me, I play "top", from lowering the sails, hoisting the spinnaker, and being attentive so that no knots are made, since we carry a zipper system so that when they leave when they are all bundled they cannot be rolled up. I also do"sweeper"That is to prepare things before making the maneuver, so when the person goes to that site has it all ready and only need to execute the maneuver.

Your ship was behind the "Movistar", by Pedro Campos, are these major words?

Of course it is too big, Pedro Campos is a milestone in sailing, with many titles under his belt and the truth to be so close to them gave us a lot of joy,

Is the crew satisfied with the runner-up?

Of course, we did not expect to be so high, we seek to enter the top ten, but we have reached much higher than the expectations we had and this gives us a lot of morale of the upcoming comxicotetions we have.

What do you think the impact it has had in Jávea your success?

It is a pride for me, because although I'm not much time there, I started to sail there and for me Jávea always goes with me wherever I go. It is good for sailing, as we all know there are many sports that have a greater depth and Jávea media ye are in charge of covering sailing and this comes in handy for promotion.

What advice can you give to the young people who start now in sailing?

Going far is a matter of much perseverance, work and effort, the good thing is that it is a sport that has no age, keep sailing and enjoying the sea since it is a total disconnection, you get on a boat and I forget everything.

Anything else you want to say?

If all women to encourage them to practice the sport of sailing, who dare to try it out and see that they will engage. I think for women is a sport that can come very well and I hope that this summer many feel the passion for the sea.
