Congratulations also to Guillermo Beltri, ESP 47, for winning the 2006 Iberico Championship in Velencia from a very strong International fleet of 57 other IOM',s. He suggests his  Magick Sails were a great help. Guillermo then goes on to win the Spanish IOM Champ's for 2006 having to discard a 2nd and 3rd placing as his worst performances from 14 races.
