The day began in the morning with the skippers' meeting and the subsequent start of the 23 participating vessels. The competing fleet included notable participation from sailboats belonging to Club Náutico Zárate, Campana Boat Club, and Club Náutico Arsenal Zárate, as well as vessels from the Officers', Non-Commissioned Officers', Superior, and Officers' Circle Schools of the Prefecture.
It is worth noting that the yacht PNA YR-7 "Esperanza" also graced the journey, carrying the Commodores of the Prefecture's Yacht Club and its Officers' Circle, Prefecto General (RE) Roberto Jorge Camps and Prefecto Mayor (RS) VGM Eduardo Argerich, along with Prefecto General (RE) VGM Ricardo Blanco, who actively participated in the maneuvers.
