The 63rd Regata Rías Baixas began with an opening stage from Vigo to Portonovo. Despite Aceites Abril achieving the fastest real-time finish, the vessel Deep Blue-Marina Meira took the first position based on compensated time. The initial stage was marked by difficult weather conditions, including morning fog in the Vigo estuary and low wind levels at Costa da Vela.

By the third day of competition, the Urbapaz, skippered by Fran Edreira, secured a stage victory during a 28-nautical-mile leg characterized by north winds of approximately 20 knots. This performance allowed the Urbapaz to take the lead in the general classification, surpassing other fast vessels such as Marnatura and Magical.
