Starting tomorrow, the Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona is running a new edition of the Repsol Trophy, which this year will also be the J80 Luso Galaica Cup and will be held for three days in the Vigo estuary, with various regattas inside of the Bay of Baiona and the anchorage of the Cíes Islands.

The Baiona club officially presented the competition this morning at a press conference attended by the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal; the person in charge of Marine and Fishing of Repsol, Inés González; and the president and vice president of Monte Real, José Luis Álvarez and Alejandro Retolaza.

The event detailed the characteristics of what is considered one of the most important tests of the heavy sailing season in Galicia, and in which 25 crews from different parts of the country have already announced their participation.

In front of the starting line there will be boats such as the Santorum & Martinez Group of the Club Náutico Deportivo de Riveira, with Javier Durán at the wheel; Jean Claude Sarrade’s Fend la Bise, which will race once again at the Monte Real Club de Yates; Nahela from Club Deportivo Alagua de A Guarda, recent winner of the Comunica Trophy; or the Starfighter by Julio Rodríguez, from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo.

In addition, in 2019 the winners of the previous edition will repeat, which were Ramón Ojea’s Bosch Service Solutions, winner in the cruiser-regatta class and in the general classification; and the Balea Dous de Rodeira, with Luis Pérez at the controls, winner of the cruiser class. Elena Raga, from Madrid, who won the Figaro class in 2018, will also return to Baiona.

In the J80 class, the fleet of boats of the Monte Real Club de Yates will be, once again, the most outstanding, with the presence, among others, of the two monotypes that have won the most recent competitions held in Galicia: the Okofen de Javier de la Gándara and El Cansino by Fernando Yáñez.

Five races in three days of racing

The Repsol Trophy of this 2019 includes in its program five tests divided into the three days that the competition will last.

The first day, tomorrow, Wednesday, the May Day holiday, will include a coastal route starting in the interior of the Bay of Baiona and passing in front of different sandy areas to the Tofiño Lighthouse, in the vicinity of the Galician Sea Museum, turning in the area to return back to the interior of the bay, where the finish line will be placed.

The competition will continue on the weekend of Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th May, with two stages that, although they will be completely defined based on the day’s weather forecasts, are expected to be a windward/leeward and a coastal route on Saturday , and two windward/leeward runs on Sunday. They will be the definitive tests in which the winners’ podiums will be defined and will be held in the vicinity of the Cíes Islands.

In dispute the J80 Luso Galaica Cup

After having been the Spanish J80 Championship in 2018, the 2019 Repsol Trophy will host the J80 Luso Galaica Cup, in which the different J80 participants will measure their strength. The cup will have as its program the same tests planned for the rest of the fleet, including two coastal tours of the Vigo estuary and several poles at the Cíes anchorage. The difference with the cruisers will be that, as usual, the J80, identical to each other, will compete in real time.

Nahela de A Guarda, champion of the Comunica Trophy

 

· El barco del Club Deportivo Alagua patroneado por Victor Manuel Álvarez se alzó este Sábado Santo con la victoria del Trofeo Comunica· El velero se impuso también en la clase ORC 1 y la victoria de la clase ORC 2 fue para el Abal Abogados/Lagar de Pintos/Fanautic· En la competición de los monotipos J80 se hizo con el oro el Cansino del Monte Real Club de Yates liderado por su comodoro Fernándo Yáñez· En la clase Fígaro la tripulación triunfadora fue la del Ladeira con la vicecomodoro del Monte Real Genoveva Pereiro a la cañaEl Trofeo Comunica del Monte Real Club de Yates cerró este sábado una nueva edición coronando como ganador al Nahela, del Club Deportivo Alagua de A Guarda , que resultó vencedor absoluto en la clasificación general, ganando también en la clase ORC 1.

La competición, disputada por primera vez en el marco de la Semana Santa, se desarrolló con unas muy buenas condiciones meteorológicas, típicamente estivales, con sol, sin apenas nubes, temperaturas elevadas y un viento del oeste-suroeste que se movió entre los 6 y los 10 nudos, lo que agilizó la navegación de los veleros rumbo a Baiona.

Tras escuchar el bocinazo de salida frente al muelle de transatlánticos de Vigo a las dos de la tarde y emprender una larga ceñida, de casi 9 millas rumbo a Baiona, la flota tomó las balizas de La Negra y Carallones, y cruzó finalmente la línea de llegada en el interior de la bahía baionesa.

Las previsiones meteorológicas, que anunciaban la entrada de viento del norte, le jugaron una mala pasada a los veleros que eligieron ese rumbo esperando un viento que finalmente no entró. Más suerte tuvieron los que enfrentaron la prueba por el sur, como el Nahela de A Guarda. Su patrón, Victor Manuel Álvarez, aseguró que se vieron favorecidos por la suerte y las buenas decisiones tomadas.

“Lo lógico era ir hacia el norte, por la previsión, pero vimos más presión hacia el sur y decidimos tomar ese rumbo, lo que nos permitió acertar. Tuvimos algún problema en el cambio de zona, para pasar de sur hacia Cíes, y ahí perdimos mucho tiempo, pero finalmente logramos ganar y estamos muy contentos de que nos beneficiase tanto la compensación de tiempos”, aseguró el patrón del Nahela tras finalizar la competición.

El barco del Club Deportivo Alagua se subió a lo más alto del podio de los de su clase y se llevó del Monte Real los trofeos al mejor de la general y ganador de ORC 1. La segunda y tercera posición de esa categoría fueron para el Starfighter de Julio Rodríguez, del Real Club Náutico de Vigo; y el Unus del Monte Real Club de Yates, patroneado por Luis García Trigo.

Un barco de esa clase, el Swan 45 del Monte Real Club de Yates Yess Too, patroneado por el portugués Rui Ramada, fue el más rápido de los 26 veleros participantes y completó las 11,9 millas de recorrido en apenas dos horas y siete minutos.

Los de Ramada se llevaron a casa el gran sabor de boca que les dejó el haber sido los más rápidos en completar el recorrido, pero la compensación de tiempos les impidió hacerse con el título de los de su clase, que finalmente se llevó el Nahela.

El Abal Abogados/Lagar de Pintos/Fanautic del Ro Yacht Club, patroneado por Mariano Dios, se hizo con el oro de la regata en la clase ORC 2. El Balea Dous de Luis Pérez (Real Club Náutico de Rodeira) y el Don Pansa de Alberto Sousa quedaron segundo y tercero.

Los monotipos J80, ajenos a la compensación de tiempos, compitieron en tiempo real y su disputa finalizó con el Cansino del Monte Real Club de Yates situado en lo más alto del podio. La tripulación liderada por el comodoro del club baionés, Fernándo Yáñez, dejó la plata y bronce del trofeo al Cunichán de José Luis Pérez y el Mondo de Bernardo Macedo.

En la clase Fígaro, el mejor de la flota fue el Ladeira de la vicecomodoro del Monte Real Genoveva Pereino. Logró imponerse en la jornada y hacerse con la victoria de los de su clase, seguido del Serralleiras de Alberto Iglesias. El Erizana de Javier Ortega completó podio con una merecida tercera posición.

En la entrega de trofeos, celebrada por la tarde en el Monte Real Club de Yates, estuvieron presentes, entre otros, el alcalde de Baiona, Ángel Rodal; el presidente del Monte Real, José Luis Álvarez; y el director ejecutivo de Comunica Comunicación Visual, Roberto Lira, como patrocinador del evento.

· The awards ceremony for the winners will be held at seven in the afternoon at Monte Real

 

More than twenty boats will compete this Holy Saturday in the Vigo estuary for a new edition of the Comunica Trophy, organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The regatta committee, chaired by Fernando Giraldo, will start the race at two in the afternoon in front of the transatlantic dock in Vigo, from where the sailboats will begin a journey of about 15 miles that will take them to the outskirts of Baiona.

After turning at an unmarking mark, the fleet must comply with several obligatory steps, located at the La Negra, Subrido and Carallones marks, to finally reach the bay of Baiona, where the finish line will be installed.

Among the clubs that will compete in this new edition of the Comunica Trophy, are the Ro Yachts Club, represented by the Abal Lawyers-Lagar de Pintos-Fanautic de Mariano Dios; the Bouzas Maritime Lyceum, with the Salao by Juan Carlos Sigre; the Maritime Club of Canido, with the Bosch Service Solutions by Ramón Ojea; the Rías Baixas Maritime Club, with the Galopín by José Luis Mosquera; the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, with La Burla Negra by Juan José Martínez; the Monte Real Yacht Club, with the Yess Too by Rui Ramada; or the Nautical Club of Portonovo, represented by the Albarellos , by Fernando Rey.

After opening the season with the J80 Winter League, the Comunica Trophy is the first cruise competition on the Monte Real calendar, which has seven more competitions planned for 2019, including the famous Conde de Gondomar Trophy (in July) and the Prince of Asturias Trophy (in September).

The Comunica Trophy opens the cruise season of the Monte Real Yacht Club

· The Monte Real Yacht Club opens its cruise season this Holy Saturday with the celebration of the Comunica Trophy between Vigo and Baiona

· The participating sailboats, among which there will also be one-design Figaros and J80s, must complete a 15-mile coastal course

· The start of the regatta will take place in front of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, which collaborates in the organization of the Monte Real competition

The Monte Real Club de Yates inaugurates its 2019 cruise season this Easter with the celebration, next Holy Saturday, of the Comunica Trophy, a coastal regatta between Vigo and Baiona that the participating sailboats will compete in starting at two in the afternoon .

It will be at that time that the regatta’s starting horn will be heard in front of the facilities of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, which once again collaborates with Monte Real in organizing the competition.

From Vigo to Baiona, the Comunica Trophy fleet will have to complete a 15-mile route in which, according to forecasts, a favorable wind will remain, some strong enough to allow them to complete the route without incident. The regatta will also be held on a fairly clear day, with pleasant temperatures between 18 and 20 degrees, and little sea.

Among the participating fleet are some of the winners of the previous edition, who will seek to revalidate victory. This is the case of the Portuguese Rui Ramada, who in 2018 won the victory of his class aboard the MBA Atlántico and who this time will participate at the controls of the Yess Too.

Another of the 2018 winners will also be among the participants, the Balea Dous of the Real Club Náutico de Rodeira, with the usual good work of Luis Pérez at the controls.

Another company that has also announced its participation in the competition is Ramón Ojea’s Bosch Service Solutions, from the Club Marítimo de Canido, who will return for the gold that escaped him the previous year, in which he had to make do with third place bronze. Among the J80, the winner of the last edition also repeats, which was Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva.

The registration period to participate in the Comunica Trophy is still open and anyone who wishes to compete can register until the day of the regatta itself. Registration is free and participating boats will also have a 50 percent discount on registration for the Repsol Trophy, which Monte Real organizes once again to coincide with the May 1 long weekend.

The Comunica Trophy is sponsored, for the third consecutive year, by Comunica Comunicación Visual, a firm that offers printing services, signs, industrial design, acrylic items… throughout Galicia from the municipality of A Guarda, where its main headquarters are located. Several of its managers and area managers will participate in the awards ceremony for the winners, which will be held on the same Saturday as the competition starting at seven in the afternoon at the Monte Real Club de Yates facilities.

Okofen are proclaimed winners of the J80 Winter League

 

· The sailboat skippered by Javier de la Gándara sentenced the championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates, which celebrated its last day today

Okofen thus recovers the title of the J80 winter league that it had achieved in 2017 and lost in 2018 at the hands of the Portuguese Miudo de Francisca Barros

· The Cansino of the Commodore of Monte Real Fernado Yáñez and the Miudo skippered by Carlos Hernández were second and third

 

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen left its mark once again in the territory of the J80 in Galicia, where for years it has been, without a doubt, one of the most outstanding boats and with the most awards in its history.

After receiving the title of “Best J80 of the 2018 season” a few days ago, awarded by the Galician Sailing Federation, the crew of the Okofen collected this afternoon in Baiona a new award for their collection, the winner of the Winter League of J80.

It also did so forcefully, by managing to get a large margin from its most direct competitors. 8 points away from the second classified and 12 from the third placed him on the top of the podium of the championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates since last January.

Of the six days of competition scheduled in the sports program for the trophy, the weather only allowed three of them to be held, and Okofen took victory in two. He only gave his rivals a break on one of the days, in which El Cansino momentarily managed to steal the provisional podium.

It was precisely this boat, skippered by the commodore of the Monte Real Yacht Club, Fernando Yáñez, which finally took second place in the classification, with 15 points.

The third position, with 19 points, was occupied by Miudo de Carlos Hernández.

This Saturday’s session, which was held with a west-northwest wind of between 15 and 20 knots, left very mixed results, with surprising ups and downs in the different tests. This was the case of Okofen, which had signed all the results so far with first and second places, and today fell to sixth position in one of the tests; and other boats such as the Luna Nueva or the Mondo, which had not been able to sneak into the places of honor, and today achieved two second places.

Finally, after the gold, silver and bronze positions of Okofen, Cansino and Miudo, and the entry into play of a discard, Luis de Mira’s Namasté came fourth; Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, fifth; and Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, sixth.

Seventh place went to Pazo de Cea skippered by María Campos, and Javier Martínez Valente’s Cunichán was eighth. Closing the classification, the Cormorán II, the Ferralemes and the Virazón, who could not compete in all the contested tests.

After the celebration of this last day this afternoon in Baiona and the subsequent award ceremony for the winners, the Monte Real Club de Yates put an end to what was the first competition of its 2019 sports season.

The next appointment on its regatta calendar is the Comunica Trophy, for which the club has already published the Notice of Regatta and opened the registration period. It will be held on April 20, coinciding with Easter, and will once again have the collaboration of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, from where the race will take place.

J80 Winter League Final Assault

· The one-design competition organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club will be decided this Saturday in the last three scheduled regattas starting at 3:00 p.m.

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen , Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Luis de Mira’s Namasté are the sailboats with the most options to get on the final podium

· Once the competition is over in the bay of Baiona, the Monte Real Club de Yates will host the awards ceremony for the winners and a seafood dinner

 

Tomorrow, Saturday, the last round of the J80 Winter League will be held, which the Monte Real Club de Yates has been organizing for the one-design fleet since January.

Starting at three in the afternoon, the Bay of Baiona will be the scene of a new dispute between the J80 fleet for a place on the winners’ podium. There will be three new tests that will close the scoreboard and define the final classification.

The Okofen of Javier de la Gándara, the Cansino of Fernando Yáñez and the Namasté of Luis de Mira are the sailboats with the most options to sneak into the final podium, since they currently occupy the three positions of honor.

Okofen , with 7 points and the usual good work of De la Gándara, has many possibilities to win the gold of the competition, since, in addition, the margin of 6 points that he managed to get from his most direct rivals gives him some peace of mind .

Cansino and Namasté , very regular and with good performances throughout the league, remain tied on 13 points in second and third place respectively, and are the ones with the best chance, together with Okofen , of closing the league by ensuring a trophy.

In the middle part of the classification everything is very open since there are many jacks grouped in a very narrow point band. Carlos Hernández’s Miudo is fourth with 18 points, followed by Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo , Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva and María Campos’ Pazo de Cea with 20, 21 and 22 points respectively.

With this panorama in the provisional classification tomorrow, Saturday, the last day will be held with a forecast of good wind to celebrate the three final tests. At the end in the water, the awards ceremony on land and a seafood dinner for the participants.

The Monte Real Yacht Club teaches sailing to a group of English schoolchildren in Baiona

 

· A group of students from the British town of Manchester sailed this Monday through the Bay of Baiona thanks to the offer of the Monte Real Yacht Club

· Schoolchildren between the ages of 10 and 11 are visiting the Val Miñor on the occasion of a language exchange with CEIP Humberto Juanes de Nigrán

Directed by coaches from the Baionese club, the group of students from Manchester and Nigrán was able to approach the sport of sailing for the first time

A group of students from the British town of Manchester sailed this Monday through the bay of Baiona thanks to the offer of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The schoolchildren, between 10 and 11 years of age, are visiting Val Miñor these days for a language exchange with the Humberto Juanes de Nigrán Infant and Primary School. “From Manchester to Nigrán” is an activity that both municipalities have consolidated over time, and which in 2019 celebrates its fifteenth edition.

On this occasion, in addition to maintaining some of the activities that they had been carrying out in previous years, such as popular games, a bike ride or a getaway to the Cíes, the students were able to approach the sport of sailing for the first time.

They did it hand in hand with the trainers from Monte Real, who offered both them and the students from Nigrán who participate in the exchange, a series of basic knowledge to be able to sail. They also accompanied them on their first nautical experience, which they enjoyed aboard the club’s sailboats.

The Barbeira beach and the waters closest to the club were the scene of the test gymkhana that was prepared for the little ones on a morning in which the weather was on their side, providing them with a sunny day and very good temperatures.

CEIP Humberto Juanes, near the Nigrán Town Hall, is the largest school in the municipality, with nearly 400 students. Fifth and sixth grade students participate in this exchange with the boys and girls of Saint John’s Primary School in Manchester.

After the sailing activity carried out on Monte Real, the exchange participants will say goodbye this afternoon at the Baiona campsite, where the British students will spend their last night in Val Miñor before returning to Manchester tomorrow, Tuesday.

This will complete a new edition, the fifteenth already, of the “From Manchester to Nigran”, an activity that has been developed with great involvement by the educational community of both schools, in which the Nigrán and Baiona town councils, the Xunta de Galicia and entities such as the Monte Real Club have also added their grain of sand. of yachts.
