The regatta was organised by the Real Club Náutico Torrevieja in collaboration with the Rowing Federation of the Valencian Community.

The regatta started at 9 o’clock in the morning and had three modalities, 1X, 2X and 4X; corresponding to the number of people travelling on board the boat. The course was was similar in all of them: 500 metres. The victories were very evenly distributed.

In the individual, the victories went to the representatives of the Real Club Náutico Torrevieja and Real Club Regatas Alicante in the female and male genders respectively.
These two clubs also shared the first positions in the doubles event, although on this occasion in reverse. The team from Salinas won the men’s category and the Alicante club won the
women’s doubles. The event, in which four athletes took part in each boat, was an exercise in coexistence for the youngsters and the teamwork that highlighted the importance of companionship and the practices carried out in each of the boats.
