Officials from the Monte Real Yacht Club of Bayonne (MRCYB) and Fundación Repsol presented the new boats of the Adapted Sailing School on Monday, an initiative whose main objective is to bring this sport closer to people with disabilities to promote their social integration.

They are accessible boats that allow people with disabilities to enjoy the sea and the sport of sailing under equal conditions. They have been designed by the naval architect from Ferrol, Javier González Cela, and acquired thanks to the collaboration of Fundación Repsol.

They are stable, safe and easy-to-handle boats, of the GOS 16 model. They are 5 meters long and one meter wide. The crew go on ergonomic seats from which they have full access to fully control the boat. This allows them both to walk and learn, as well as to compete.

The MRCYB Sailing School

The Adapted Sailing School of the Monte Real Yacht Club of Bayonne was born in 2012 with the aim of bringing people with disabilities closer to the world of sailing, a sport with countless benefits, both physical, mental and sensory.

Since its launch, several associations of people with disabilities in the region have carried out activities in the club. They are the Encaixamos del Val Miñor Association, the students of the Juan María de Nigrán Center and the Avelaíña de Gondomar group.

Currently, the Monte Real Yacht Club of Bayonne organizes outings to the sea with people with disabilities every 15 days, and seeks new support to increase the number of participants and activities in the future.

Next Monday, April 7, 2014, the heads of Fundación Repsol and the Monte Real Yacht Club of Bayonne will present the sailboats of the MRCYB Adapted Sailing School, an initiative whose main objective is to promote the practice of sports as a tool for integration and bring the sport of sailing closer to people with disabilities.

They intervene:

Mr. Rafael Olmedo Limeses · President of the Mount Royal Yacht Club of Bayonne

Mr. Gonzalo Vázquez Deputy Director of Social and Cultural Projects at F. Repsol

Mr. Jesús Vázquez Almuiña · Mayor of Baiona

Mixed results in the last qualifying where the good results of two of our sailors from the Optimist team have stood out above all.

Rosalía Martínez and Sandra Trigo have disputed a magnificent regatta in which in the end they have managed to classify tenth and fourteenth respectively, and thus be able to ascend to the GOLD group.

This shows that the line of work of their coaches Samuel Montouto and David Fontán is correct and that little by little it will bear fruit.

Congratulations to all and keep improving.

Another Thursday we have had the boys and girls of the Encaixamos Val Miñor Association. On this occasion, we have trained with more technical routes with training with buoys.

A very positive evolution is noted in the control of the boats and we highlight above all the enthusiasm and desire of the boys and girls.

This is his second candidacy, and he has not been able to win, since the award has gone to another great athlete, in this case in wrestling, Omar.

From the MRCYB and his sailing school we want to congratulate Jorge on his second nomination and encourage him to continue working in this line that little by little gives good results.

Many congratulations George.

Today, Thursday, a new sailing class has taken place at the MRCYB with the boys from the Encaixamos Val Miñor Association with the GOS 16 boats.

We have been lucky with the weather and have sailed with unbeatable conditions. Very good feelings and with so few classes you can see progress and desire to continue improving and learning.

Dear partners:

We are pleased to inform you that the new seafood hatchery at the MRCYB restaurant is now up and running. With it, we intend to further expand and improve the range of shellfish that is already on offer, more specifically with regard to shellfish from the coast: Norway lobster, red lobster, blue lobster and spider crab. However, to facilitate the anticipation and adequate availability of these products, it is advisable to make a reservation and order in advance.

As always, you can contact the restaurant by calling 986 35 62 26 or through restaurant@mrcyb.com .

A greeting and good profit.

On Wednesday the 5th we were lucky enough to have the boys and girls from the Juan María Center in our facilities to continue their training in the world of nautical sports and sailing.

Due to the weather conditions they have not gone out on the water, they have taken advantage of their trainers to give a theoretical-practical class in which they have shown great desire and that day after day they show more nautical knowledge.

A pleasure to be able to enjoy with them everything that the sea can bring us.

This weekend a fantastic joint training session was held at the MRCYB with the Optimist regatta teams from RO Yachts Club Combarro, CVVC and MRCYB.

It has been two intense days, with all kinds of weather conditions, in which there has been time for tactical/technical classes in the classroom and at sea.

We must highlight the great work of the sailors and especially the coaches of all the participating clubs.

A great job has been done fostering relationships between clubs and between boys and girls.

Congratulations to all for the great work.

We are pleased to announce that the Monte Real Club de Yates has started its sailing courses for people with physical and mental disabilities.

With the collaboration of the Juan Maria Center and the Encaixamos Val Miñor Association, the first theoretical and practical classes began on January 15.

The coordinator of the Carlos Rúa Sailing School and the coaches Samuel Montouto, Carlos Hernandéz and David Fontán have traveled to the Juan Maria Center, who have given a theoretical class supported by videos and didactic material, with which they have begun to discover the world of sailing and the sea.

In the case of sailing aimed at the physically disabled, the boys from the Encaixamos Val Miñor Association have come to the MRCYB, who have had the opportunity to enjoy a theoretical class and a practice session in which they have already been able to get on the boat and they have dared to handle it enjoying the new sensations that the sea offers them.

This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long journey with all these groups of boys and girls, since their desire and enthusiasm are great.
