Hello. This is from a local newspaper report on a regatta (Spain):
En la primera prueba, XXX demostró encontrarse en buena forma, acertando con el bordo bueno y con velocidad para destacarse en el primer tramo de ceñida.
XXX is the boat that won the regatta overall.
Going into UK English.
Thanks for your help
Simon
