A boat of four women ‘Woman Essentia-Les Roches’ represented Malaga in the 38th edition of the Copa del Rey, which features predominantly male participation. With more than 20 applicants for 11 boats and after a hard selection process, María, Marina, Ángela and Lucía were fortunate enough to be chosen to compete. It was the first time that the four of them sailed together, as well as their first time in the competition boat and first time in the female category. In the end, they triumphed in fifth position.
María Fiestas (boat owner), Marina Casado (captain), Ángela Pumariega (strategy and tactics) y Lucía Guerrero (timoneer, in charge of the mainsail), are women of different ages and backgrounds who manage to balance their personal lives and work with sailing: a high performance sport taking them to National, International and Olympic competitions. Countless trophies and an Olympic gold medal saw these women presented with an award at the fourth Farola Awards.
