Chapela-Wofco Men Poised for ACT Promotion After Bermeo Second, Portugalete Decider Today

The Galician boat carries a seven-second buffer over Arkote into the calmer Portugalete course.

Overview

  • Santurtzi set the fastest time in Bermeo in 21:19 rowing fuera de concurso, with Chapela-Wofco next in 21:27 ahead of Arkote 21:34, Kaiku 21:42 and Tirán 21:44.
  • Promotion is awarded on cumulative points across the two legs with aggregate time as the tie-breaker for the two available places.
  • La Voz de Galicia reports Chapela can ascend by not conceding more than one point to Arkote provided the final time gap stays under seven seconds.
  • Chapela’s women placed fourth in Bermeo in 12:08 behind Donostiarra, San Juan and Zarautz, leaving them needing a clear step forward in Portugalete to contend.
  • Portugalete’s ría conditions are expected to be gentler than Bermeo’s open sea, and TVG2 is carrying the final day live in the morning slots.
