The final day of the Spanish ILCA 7 Class Championship concluded with three more races completed in a thrilling finish, bringing the total to ten valid races over the four days of competition.

The races on this last day were held under optimal conditions, with easterly winds ranging from 8 to 10 knots, perfectly capping off this event organized by Club Náutico Ibiza, the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, the Balearic Sailing Federation, the Spanish ILCA Class Association, and Marina Ibiza, which hosted the participating boats.

Marc O'Connor (R.C.N. Palma) was crowned overall Spanish Champion and U21 Champion in the Olympic sailing ILCA 7 class. Having secured first place by the second day, O'Connor skillfully maintained his lead through to the end of the championship.

The sailor from Palma scored a 1st, a 3rd, and an 11th in today's final races held off Playa d'en Bossa, finishing with 37 points after discarding his worst result.

Local sailor Carlos Roselló, representing C.N. Ibiza in this national ILCA 7 event, finished as the Spanish runner-up. Today he achieved a 7th, a 1st, and a 6th place, giving him a total of 45 points and securing second place. Bronze went to Adolfo Virgil from Alicante with 46 points, meaning the runner-up position was decided in the final race, narrowly claimed by Roselló. This marks another podium finish for Roselló in national competitions, continuing his streak of podium placements in Spanish Championships and Cups since 2016.

As for the U21 competitors, who are striving to join the national team, the top spot also went to Marc O'Connor from RCN Palma, followed by Fernando Abella from the Murcian Sailing Federation in second place, and Daniel Jiménez from Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx in third.

Following the races, the awards ceremony was held at the Calma restaurant in Marina Ibiza, attended by Javier Bonet, Island Sports Director of the Consell de Ibiza; Juan Flores, Councilor from the Ibiza Town Hall; Javier Blanco, President of the Spanish ILCA 7 Class Association; Javier Cid representing Marina Ibiza; and members of the organizing club's board led by its president Damián Verdera. All congratulated Club Náutico Ibiza for organizing an event of this magnitude and praised the club's efforts in promoting sport and the island of Ibiza.
