Career
Blanco, born 1957 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, sailed in the Finn class.[1] He won the 1977 Finn Gold Cup competition, but was not awarded the trophy because the International Finn Association withdrew the championship status when Spain refused to accept entries of two South African sailors, however, in 2017, the International Finn Association acknowledged him as winner of the Finn Gold Cup.[2]
He competed in the 1984 Summer Olympics, where he finished 4th in Finn after Russell Coutts, John Bertrand, and Terry Neilson.[1]
