Since 1986, the Bayonne Yacht Club and the Military Naval School of Marín annually encourage and reinforce the development of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, providing it with content that promotes and disseminates the rich Galician maritime culture with a classic and traditional style, and the great challenges yachts of the best Spanish and Portuguese sailing fleets.
In its concern for each of the Divisions that will take part in this edition of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, the organization has drawn up a complete Regatta Announcement that contemplates the execution of various tests, protecting the navigation style of the boats that attend Baiona.
For the ORC 0-1-2-3, Monotypes and Ladies Cup, the development of 6 tasks is planned during the three days, all of them arranged to the wind, that is, technical routes between windward-leeward type buoys, each test treasuring the skill and skill of skippers and crews due to the constant work on board each boat, with precise maneuvers in tacks and gybes, and where the chosen board decides the success or the possible errors that the tacticians may undertake when charting the appropriate course, a difficult decision taking into account the limited margin of the routes.
The Classics, which have a different configuration, will undertake coastal routes, two in their entirety, one on Saturday, the day on which their participation begins, and another on Sunday. Of showy beauty are boats built more than 30 years ago, some of them with true seafaring tradition that keep thousands of nautical miles traveled in their shiny frames and complex ropes, propelled by their no less spectacular rags in the wind. They will be joined by the Special ORC, sailboats that sail only touring, without technical routes to respect their original hydrodynamic composition and sail design.
The Maxi Open, which will share the starting line with the ORC, are sailboats with large wingspans in their sails, and with lengths that exceed 20 meters, entering the scene from Saturday, with medium-distance coastal routes.
The 6 First Figaros of the Novagalicia Banco del Monte Real Cruise School will be the monotype boats with which the Helga Rivera Ladies Cup will be held, similar boats that will provide technical equality to the 6 female crews that are mentioned in this edition of the Prince Trophy of Asturias, representing the communities of Madrid, Cantabria, Valencia and Galicia.

The Yacht Club and the Naval Commission continue to bet on their Royal Regatta organization strategy, for a diversified combination in the staging of a wide representation of the classes that usually take part in sporting regattas, adding an incentive in the promotion of the Classic ships, thanks to the collaboration of AGABACE (Galician Association of Classic and Vintage Boats), with a special configuration in its most traditional layouts, and where open courses will predominate in the coastal or coastal sleeves.
The technical tests are reserved for all the Cruisers that come to Baiona with the purpose of winning one of the national titles at stake.
The Príncipe de Asturias Trophy has been declared a High Level regatta by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, as the Spanish ORC Cruise Championship and the Spanish First 40.7 Championship are disputed. The Atlantic Cruise Circuit is also at stake.
The Royal Trophy contemplates in its wide sporting rows two outstanding challenges with a long tradition in the history of Monte Real, the Don Juan de Borbón Trophy, which recognizes the Portuguese crew with the best result during the celebration of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, and the Ladies Cup, a regatta in which 6 women’s teams take part, representing the same number of Spanish communities, sailing aboard the First Figaros of the Novagalicia Bank Cruise School of the Yacht Club.
The intermediate phase of the Prince of Asturias Trophy will host, one more year, the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards Gala, an event of recognized prestige in Spain that rewards the best sports and institutional values highlighted in 2012.

The great novelty of 2013 of the trophy dedicated to HRH Don Felipe de Borbón, will be the incorporation of the Maxi Open Class, giants of sailing that will provide an added spectacle to the competition, some of them just arrived from drawing the Fastnet Rock, in the Irish Atlantic.
As for the ORC, the Spanish Championship for the Galicia Zone is put into play again in the Prince of Asturias Trophy, defined by the grouping of the four main Divisions in two main prizes, that of Groups 0-1 and 2- 3.
The Classic and Vintage boats will also play a transcendetal role in the Príncipe de Asturias, which will once again sail the waters of Baiona and the Vigo estuary, as well as another of the queen classes in the Príncipe, the Ladies Cup.
Portugal will be represented by its best cruise fleet, with two outstanding valuartes at stake: the Don Juan de Borbón Trophy, which rewards the best vessel of the Portuguese fleet in the Yacht Club regatta; and on the other, the completion of the Atlantic Cruise Circuit, where the Baiona event is the last regatta, which will determine the final winner.
Finally, the 40.7 once again celebrate their special Spanish championship, a fairly large class in the great fleet of ORC cruisers.
With these first winks, almost 15 days before the regatta, the organizers estimate the participation to be between 80 and 100 boats.
During this week the MRCYB regatta team is carrying out joint training at the Real Club Náutico de Vigo facilities, together with the Povoa regatta team and the Vigo Náutico team itself.
In this way they are already training in the waters where the next regatta to which the MRCYB optimist team will attend will take place, which will be the Festas do Cristo Regatta at the Náutico de Rodeira during the next Saturday and Sunday.
After three days of competition in the waters of Sanxenxo, today, Sunday, the names of the winners of the 14th Hotel Carlos I Silgar Trophy have been revealed: “Gomez Mostly Harmnless”, in ORC 1; “Codaste” in ORC 2; “Petrilla Accastillage Diffusion”, in ORC 3; and “Argos” in ORC 4 and Open. In addition, the “Codaste” has won the absolute title, proclaiming itself for the second consecutive year Absolute Galician Cruise Champion.
The “Codaste”, armed by Roberto Fontán and skippered by Nacho Campos, manages to win its second consecutive title of Galician champion and also does so in the same waters, in Sanxenxo.
The current Galician Cruise Champion, the Codaste skippered by Nacho Campos, will try to revalidate the regional title this weekend in the waters of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo.
This year, the MRCYB boat will have a difficult time due to the size of its rivals, but from the Monte Real Club de Yates we hope that it will not be a problem and they will give us another joy and revalidate the title.
Good luck!
Galicia is proclaimed champion of the XXX Castilla y León Trophy.
