Bribón and Moura Defend Their Lead in the Final Round of the 2026 6-Meter and J/80 League

The 2026 season of the 6-Meter and J/80 League comes to a close this weekend in the waters of the Pontevedra estuary. The Xacobeo Trophy will host the seventh and final series of the season, in which both fleets will compete for their last chance to change the overall standings. The competition, organized by the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, will take place on November 14 and 15.

In the 6-Meter class, all eyes will be on the showdown between the Bribón and the Titia, skippered by Mauricio Sánchez-Bella. Both teams already put on a very close match in the previous series, held in October, when they were tied at six points going into the final race. Bribón, with Jane Abascal at the helm, won Sunday’s first race and ultimately claimed the series ahead of its rival. In this latest edition, Miguel Lago’s Alibaba II and Guillermo Rodríguez’s Caprice-RH Privé are also among the contenders for the top spots.

The J/80 class is also facing an open final. El Moura, from the Marina Coruña Yacht Club, will defend its lead in the standings after winning two of the series held this season. Its main rival will be the One, skippered by Adrián Domínguez of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, which heads into the final event after winning the sixth series, held in October. Rounding out the podium at that time were the I3D Atlántico, skippered by Guillermo Blanco of the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña, and the Cactus Digital-Petrilla, skippered by Jaime Barreiro of the Club Náutico de Portonovo.

The weather will add an element of difficulty to the season finale. The forecast calls for southerly winds and rain on both days—conditions that will test the crews’ ability to adapt in the Pontevedra estuary.

With the final points still up for grabs, the Xacobeo Trophy will determine who finishes the year at the top of the 6-Meter and J/80 standings.
