· The heats of the IX Winter Regatta will be held on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning in the Vigo estuary and the Bay of Baiona
· It is organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates de Bayona with the sponsorship of Generali Seguros and the collaboration of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo
The IX Winter Regatta – Generali Trophy, which opens the Monte Real competition season, will leave this Saturday from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo marina. At four in the afternoon, the regatta committee will give the starting signal to a crossing test in which the boats will make a coastal tour of the estuary to the bay of Baiona.
On Sunday, the tests will take place from noon at the Cíes Islands anchorage. They will be technical tasks, windward/leeward, in which the boats will have to complete a route between buoys. The Monteferro peninsula, in Nigrán, will be one of the places with the best visibility for the public that wants to follow the race from the ground.
Once the competition is over and the compensated times of the different sleeves have been verified, the final classification will be published. The prizes for the winners will be delivered at the Monte Real headquarters, in Baiona, starting at five in the afternoon, in a ceremony that will include a tasting of Nordés gin and tonics and Nordic Mist.
With the celebration of the IX Winter Regatta – Generali Trophy, the competition season of the Monte Royal Yacht Club of Bayonne officially begins, which will include several regattas until next September. The next appointment will be on May 1, 3 and 4, with the Spring Regatta – Repsol Trophy.
