A few days before the end of the year, I wish to send you, on behalf of the Board of Directors and all the workers of the Club, our best wishes for this Christmas and the coming Year 2022.
As you all know, it has been a better year, but not without difficulties due to the pandemic situation. A year that has allowed us, once again, to continue with our sports programs and carry out our most emblematic regattas. Unfortunately it has not been possible to recover social events, because health protocols have not allowed it.
I would like to thank once again all those who have made it possible for Monte Real to continue to be a benchmark for their good work. Of this we can feel proud.
To the sponsors, both institutional and private. To the sailors, they are always ready to compete. To the students of our sailing schools for their interest in getting to know and delving deeper into our sport. To the media that, with their help, make it possible for the sport of sailing to reach society in general.
Our memory, too, for those who have left us, and for the families who have lived through a year of difficulties and uncertainties, our most sincere affection.

Especially significant for the Portuguese team was having beaten its most direct rival, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, from Vigo, who had come ready to revalidate the victory achieved in the previous edition of the Autumn League, but who finally had to settle for the competition silver.
“Having beaten Javier, who for us is an idol, and from whom we have also learned a lot, is a milestone,” said Manel Cunha, crew leader, at the end of the competition. “Our goal is to continue preparing for the World Class to be held in Baiona in 2023 and this victory encourages us and drives us to continue training and improving” .

The Marías and the Okofen, which alternated the provisional podiums during the five days that the competition lasted, finished first and second with 8 and 9 points, a minimal separation of just one point that demonstrates the great quality of both crews, who fought until the end to hang the laurels.
The bronze of the championship went to the Cansino, another of the boats that knew how to maintain itself throughout the league in the positions of honor thanks to the balance that involved the good work of the young Alejandra Suárez from Vigo and the boards and experience of Nano Yáñez and Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui.

· The historic club from Baiona has become part of the exclusive International Council of Yacht Clubs (ICOYC), the association that brings together the 44 clubs -now 45- most prestigious in the world
· The social responsibility activities that the MRCYB promotes through its Adapted Sailing School and the maritime route created to complete the Camino de Santiago by sea were two of the most valued aspects for its inclusion.
· Entering the ICOYC was an old aspiration of Monte Real to have its own voice in one of the most important nautical forums in the world where experiences about the world of sailing are debated and shared
The historic Monte Real Club de Yachts de Baiona joins the best yacht clubs in the world after being included in the exclusive International Council of Yacht Clubs (ICOYC), the association that brings together 44 clubs (now 45 with the MRCYB) most prestigious in the world.
The social responsibility activities that the Baiona club promotes through its Adapted Sailing School for people with functional diversity, children with behavioral problems, the elderly or women victims of sexist violence were one of the most valued aspects for their inclusion in the ICOYC.
The member clubs were also attracted by the maritime route that Monte Real organizes to complete the Camino de Santiago by sea, a route that can generate important tourist-sports synergies with other clubs in northern Europe attracted by the Jacobean route.
Joining this prestigious nautical entity was an old aspiration of the club directed by José Luis Álvarez, who was always interested in having his own voice in the best forums worldwide. “The incorporation of Monte Real to the ICOYC is not only -says Álvarez- good news for the club but also for all of Galicia, because we will echo everything that is done here and may be interesting for the rest of the world” . “We will be the transmitters -concludes the president of Monte Real- of culture, sports, gastronomy and the good work of the Galician people” .
The International Council of Yacht Clubs is an association created to promote sailing and improve the organization of nautical activities and events worldwide. It includes, among others, prestigious clubs such as the San Diego Yacht Club (USA), the Clube Naval de Cascais (Portugal), the Yacht Club de Monaco, the Societe Nautique de Marseille (France), the Royal Yhames Yacht Club (London), the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (New Zealand), the Royal Natal Yacht Club (South Africa) or the Royal Canadian Yacht Club (Canada).
In the list of member clubs there are two Spanish clubs: the Real Club Náutico de Palma and the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, which last October was in charge of organizing the ICOYC 2021 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE, in which Monte Real participated as speaker from the club’s commodore, Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui.
It was precisely the presentation made at that event that gave the final impetus for the ICOYC to accept the inclusion of the Baiona club among its members. “This arrives -says Otaegui- in a very important year for the club, at the gates of hosting the 52 SUPER SERIES and the World Championship of the J80 class ”. For the commodore of Monte Real “sharing experiences with these prestigious clubs, which also have a great commitment to sport and major sporting events, will be a great boost to continue working and bringing the best sailing to Galicia” .
In the letter in which the International Council of Yacht Clubs announces its inclusion in the association to Monte Real, the president of the ICOYC, David Mead, highlights the synergies and opportunities that can be created with the inclusion of such an outstanding club as the MRCYB .
((( Note 11/26/21: ? POSTPONED “BAIONAEN LIMPO” ?We have waited until the last day to see if the forecast improved somewhat, but it has not been possible and, given the difficulties that carrying out the activity with rain would entail, we have been forced to postpone it.Tomorrow, Saturday, the “Baiona clean” activity will NOT finally be held, but we hope to be able to do it as soon as possible.

· A group of between 15 and 20 divers will submerge this Saturday in the club’s dock to remove all the waste that may have been deposited underwater
· It is the first performance of an environmental initiative in collaboration with the city council that will later be extended to other areas of the bay
In addition to cleaning the seabed, the campaign seeks to draw attention to the need to protect the underwater world
· For every kilo of rubbish that is collected, the Monte Real Yacht Club will donate one kilo of food to the NGO Help the World in Need
The Monte Real Club de Yates and the Baiona City Council are launching the “Baiona Clean” program this weekend, a seabed cleaning campaign whose main objective is to remove all the waste that may have been deposited under water.
Next Saturday, the 27th, a group of between 15 and 20 professional divers from the BaySub diving center, directed by David Hidalgo, will dive into the club’s dock to carry out the first performance of a campaign that will later be extended to other areas of Bay of Bayonne.
In addition to cleaning the seabed, the “Baiona Clean” program seeks to draw attention to the need to protect the underwater world, something that was influenced by the president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez.
“We seek to make society aware of the importance and need to conserve and keep the oceans clean, as a way to enjoy -he said- the privilege of living in a place open to the sea and to educate, raise awareness and leave a good legacy to future generations” .

In this sense, thinking about the future of the planet, the club will also try to involve the little ones in the waste collection campaign. Thus, parallel to the performance of the divers under the sea, students from different schools in Baiona and students from the Monte Real Sailing School will be in charge of collecting rubbish from the beaches surrounding the club. All those who wish to do so, whether or not they are residents of Baiona, may also collaborate in this process.
By sea and by land, the objective is to leave the area impeccable and draw attention to the need to be careful with the environment, protecting the sea and the seabed. Making responsible use of the polluting materials we use, disposing of waste in its proper place, reducing the use of plastics, reusing or recycling them, or not leaving litter on the beaches are some of the many actions that we can all easily adopt in our day daily for the good of the planet.
“We must all collaborate hand in hand -said the president of Monte Real- because the sea does not understand ages, conditions or political colors” . Proof of this was the presence, at the presentation of the campaign, of representatives of the Baiona Town Hall, the Pontevedra Provincial Council and the Xunta de Galicia.
“Portos de Galicia -said the president of the entity, Susana Lenguas- is fully committed to the sustainable development of ports, which must be economic engines of their environment -he said-, but being one hundred percent respectful of him. That is why we focus our efforts on sustainability and cleaning actions like this one”.
On behalf of the Pontevedra Provincial Council, the deputy for the environment, Iria Lamas, thanked the council of Baiona and Monte Real for the implementation of this action, which implies, she said, “an impulse to take care of the ports, which are both tourism and economy, two basic pillars for our society, which must be aware of environmental care ”.
The activity will start around eleven in the morning and is expected to end around one in the afternoon. Once the waste has been recovered from the bottom of the sea, it will be placed on some counters in Monte Real so that everyone can see it and a record will be made of everything extracted. In addition, for every kilo of rubbish that is collected, the yacht club will donate a kilo of food to the NGO Help the world in need, chaired and coordinated by Juani Alonso.

Also present at the official presentation of the campaign were the director of Portos de Galicia, Roi Fernández; the commodore of Monte Real, Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui; the patron saint of the Baiona fishermen’s brotherhood, Susana González; and the mayor of the fishing village, Carlos Gómez, who said that from the city council “We work daily to raise awareness in society to achieve a more sustainable space and this is one more step on this path.” “It is important -said the councilor- that the campaign reaches as many people as possible so that everyone becomes aware of the importance of caring for our sea” .
This is not the first time that the Monte Real Club de Yates has launched an initiative to care for and protect the environment. Every year, the students of its Sailing School participate in specific garbage collection days on the beaches. The club also organized an environmental awareness workshop on the impact of plastic on the marine environment in which boys and girls from schools in Baiona participated; and a group of students from the Adapted Sailing School for people with functional diversity planted 200 native carballos in a land that had been burned in the wave of fires of 2017. In addition, Monte Real brought the double Olympic sailing champion and president of the Ecomar Foundation, Theresa Zabell, to give a talk on sustainable practices and environmental protection through sport.
It should also be noted that the blue flag has been flying uninterruptedly for years at the Baiona club, a badge that recognizes the environmental care of the infrastructures, the quality of the waters and the excellence of the Monte Real’s nautical services. It is one of the 5 marinas in the province of Pontevedra that hold this recognition.
What the forecasts had been announcing for days was finally confirmed this Saturday in the bay of Baiona. The low wind predicted by the maps failed to gain intensity or stabilize enough for the fourth -and penultimate- day of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League to be played.
The regatta committee started a test but the boats could only complete the first of the two beats of the scheduled windward-leeward course, and shortly after starting the stern, a large role of wind forced the task to be suspended.
A new location was then sought for the regatta field with the aim of finding the long-awaited wind, but the attempts ended up being unsuccessful and the day was considered suspended.
With no points to add to the standings, the table remains intact with Marías of the Portuguese Manel María Cunha and Okofen of Javier de la Gándara from Vigo in the lead, occupying the first and second position with 9 and 11 points respectively. In third place we find Alejandra Suárez’s Cansino, with 22 points.
They will thus arrive at the fifth day to be held on December 18. It will undoubtedly be an exciting stage, not only because it is the last of the competition, but also because, if one more event is played, a discard will come into play, which will allow the crews to eliminate their worst result to date.

The AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League faces its outcome in Baiona with the celebration this Saturday of its fourth day, the penultimate of those scheduled in the one-design championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates.
The competition heads into the final stretch with a very tight classification in the top positions, in which are the Marías of the Portuguese Manel Cunha, with 9 points; and the Okofen of Javier de la Gándara from Vigo, with 11 points. Somewhat further away, although without losing their podium options, we find El Cansino, led by the young Alejandra Suárez, with 22 points.
With the next valid test, the sixth since the league began, a discard will come into play that will allow the crews to eliminate their worst result from the classification, which could cause changes in the positions and reduce the separation between the aspiring teams. the ultimate victory.
The first places are very tight, with a separation of just two points, and we also find the next part of the table very tight, with the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh classified in a handkerchief of 6 points. They are Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, with 41 points; Francisco Martínez’s SND Cormorant, with 45 points; Luis de Mira’s Namasté, with 46 points; and Yago Marquina’s Miudo, with 47 points.
Nor should we lose sight of boats such as Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto or Santiago Estévez’s Spaco which, although they are in lower positions in the classification, are usually candidate crews for the podium.
The regatta day tomorrow, Saturday, for which the forecast announces light northerly winds, will begin at three in the afternoon and will include, in addition to the competition, a briefing with coach Carlos Llamas, who is in charge of preparing the fleet for future competitions.
· After suffering the cancellation of the event in 2021 due to COVID19, the Monte Real Club de Yates already has a date to host the most important one-design circuit in the world in 2022
· From May 23 to 28, coinciding with the celebration of the Xacobeo Year, Galicia will be in charge of opening the 52 SUPER SERIES season with the “Baiona Sailing Week”

Galicia will be in charge of opening the 52 SUPER SERIES circuit season in 2022 with the“Baiona Sailing Week”. After suffering the cancellation of the event in 2021 due to COVID19, the Monte Real Club de Yates already has a date to host, next year, the most important one-design circuit in the world.From May 23 to 28, coinciding with the celebration of the Xacobeo Year, the so-called “Formula 1 of the sea” , in which between 10 and 12 teams of more than 8 nationalities compete with sailors from the 5 continents aboard boats with cutting-edge technology.
In the first two days, the crews will compete in training regattas in the area set aside for the competition, a place very close to the Atlantic Islands National Park, just in front of the Cíes Islands. In the program for the third day there is a training session in a regatta that is already official, although not scoring; and the last dates are reserved for the competition itself, with the regattas that will define the final classification from which the winners will emerge.

Only the organization of the event moves about 500 people, up to 12 megayachts and support boats. A logistics that, along with flight reservations, accommodation and restaurants; service companies and teams; they represent an expense that reaches more than 3 million euros, of which about two million stay in local companies and services in the place where they compete.
From the Monte Real Club de Yates they speak of a historic milestone for the club, Baiona, the Rías Baixas and Galicia in general, not only for entering the international circuit of high competition, but also for the world projection that it will mean for the community, both sports and tourism.

For several days we will be the focus of international attention and that will have a very positive impact on the club and on everything around us. People from all over the world will see the spectacular nature of Baiona and Rías Baixas, they will discover everything that Galicia can offer them in terms of tourism, gastronomy, culture and sports”.
And it is that the extensive media coverage of the 52 SUPER SERIES, both nationally and internationally, reaches figures that, according to data from the organization, are around one billion impacts in different media, with more than one million views in the live broadcasts of the competition and close to 10 million impressions on social networks.
For the president of the historic club in Baiona, the “Baiona Sailing Week” will also allow “tourism to be adjusted seasonally, give a boost to the economy, and create a hobby and youth pool in the world of sailing” . It is, in short, Álvarez concludes, “an event that will go down in the history of Galicia and in one as special as the Xacobeo Holy Year” .
In addition to hosting the different sporting events, the Monte Real Club de Yates will organize multiple social events, such as meetings with the sailors, visits to the participating boats, conferences and talks about the competition or parties with the crews.
· The Portuguese sailboat led by Manel Cunha won on the third day of the one-design championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates and snatched the lead from Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen
· Both crews maintain an intense hand in hand for the podium since the start of the competition and cross the halfway point in the league separated by just two points in the general classification
· The Spaco de Santiago Estévez skippered this Saturday by Javier Martínez Valente and the Alboroto de Juan Carlos Ameneiro were the other two outstanding boats of the regatta day
After two days trying to overcome it without success, the Marías of the Portuguese Manel Marías managed to overtake this Saturday the Okofen of Javier de la Gándara in the general classification of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates.
Both crews have been in an intense hand-in-hand fight for the podium since the start of the competition, and Marías’ victory on matchday three of the league was what allowed them to take the lead from Okofen, who this Saturday achieved fifth place in the only test disputed.
It was without a doubt a very complicated day due to the wind, which took a long time to settle and did not blow with the desired intensity. This caused delays in the start of the competition, the cancellation of a test halfway through and the shortening of the only sleeve that could be played. There were also two general calls with the consequent repetition of the outputs.
A very mixed scene for a fleet that left many surprises in the water. The main one, the promotion of Marías to the first place in the classification over Okofen, who this Saturday entered fifth on the finish line. The Portuguese achieved victory after a heart-stopping finish with Spaco, whom they managed to overtake in the final meters.
The people from Vigo, who were led by Javier Martínez Valente before Santiago Estévez was absent due to injury, were just a few seconds away from the stage victory. Behind them entered another of the outstanding boats of the day, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, which was damaged by the cancellation of the first test, in which they were first.
Marías, Spaco and Alboroto were the winners of the third day of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, but of them only Marías holds a podium position in the general classification.
They are first with 9 points, closely followed by Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, with 11 points; and a little further away, with 22 points, is Alejandra Suárez’s Cansino. In the middle of the table, a group of four boats are grouped with very little separation. They are Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, with 41 points; Francisco Martínez’s SND Cormorant, with 45 points; Luis de Mira’s Namasté, with 46 points; and Yago Marquina’s Miudo, with 47 points.
In addition to competing, the fleet that is competing in the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League received this Saturday the first instructions from the Olympic coach Carlos Llamas, who made his debut as a coach of the Baionese one-designs for the class world championship that the Monte Real Club of Yachts will organize in 2023.
After observing the crews in the water and recording videos of their maneuvers, Llamas held a briefing with the different teams at the club’s facilities in Baiona. It was his first contact with the sailors, with whom he will gradually delve into possible improvements.
The man from Malaga will continue with the training of the crews on the next regatera day, scheduled for the 20th. It will be the fourth of the five stages scheduled for the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, the end of which is scheduled for December 18.

· The Monte Real Club de Yates has just signed the Olympic coach Carlos Llamas to prepare the J80 fleet for the Spanish and World Championships to be held in Baiona in 2022 and 2023
· The coach from Malaga will make his debut with the monotypes based in Baiona this weekend on the third day of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, in which Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen leads the standings
· The three tests that will be held on Saturday will be Llamas’ first contact with the 8-meter fleet, which he will analyze on the water and which he will later offer a briefing at the club’s facilities
The Monte Real Club de Yates has just hired the Olympic coach Carlos Llamas to prepare its J80 fleet for the Spanish Championship and the World Championship of the class to be held in Baiona in 2022 and 2023.
The coach from Malaga will train the Galician monotypes in the different days of the leagues that the club from Baiona celebrates during the autumn and winter months. He will go out on the water with the 8 meter crews to analyze their maneuvers and at the end of each day he will offer them a briefing aimed at improving their competition techniques and tactics.
The sports director of Monte Real, Roy Alonso, assures that the incorporation of Carlos Llamas will mean “a great boost for a fleet that can give a lot to talk about both in the national and world championships that the club will organize the next two years”. “There are two appointments -says Alonso- very important for Monte Real and, although there is still time ahead, we want to start now with the preparation so that the fleet is one hundred percent” .
The Andalusian Carlos Llamas stands out for having trained some of the most outstanding sailors on the Spanish nautical scene, such as Támara Echegoyen, Fernando Echávarri, Diego Botín or Jordi Xammar, among many others. He has been an Olympic trainer twice (Athens and Rio) and among the achievements of his athletes there are European championships of 470, J70, 49er and Star; and medals in J80 world championships.
Llamas will debut with the Baiona monotypes this weekend on the third day of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, in which Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen leads the standings with 6 points, closely followed by Marias de Manel Cunha (8 points). The third provisional position belongs to Cansino de Alejandra Suárez, with 16 points.
The forecast for the racing day, in which three races are scheduled, announces light winds from the north on a sunny but cool day.
· The Portuguese crew led by Manel Cunha won the regatta held this Saturday in Baiona and closes the gap with Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who continues to lead
· With three days to go until the end of the championship, only two points separate two of the favorite boats to win the competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of AEDAS Homes
· El Cansino, skippered by the young woman from Vigo, Alejandra Suárez, remains in third position, 8 points behind the second and 10 behind the first.
The Portuguese crew of the Marías was the winner of the second day of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League that was played this Saturday in Baiona. The boat led by the young Manel Cunha, with an entirely Lusitanian crew completed by Marta Ramada, Vasco Tinoco, Gonzalo Hipólito and José Cunha, prevailed decisively in the only test that could be disputed.
Despite the fact that three tasks were scheduled to be put into play in the day’s program, the wind did not blow with sufficient intensity and only allowed the first test to be held. It was also done with a shortening of the route that announced what would happen shortly after, when the second test had to be canceled due to a total drop in the wind.
With little hopeful prospects that the situation would improve, the regatta committee decided to end the day with that only contested race, a task allowed the distance between the two leading boats to be shortened, leaving the third in an assault position and grouping the rest of the fleet in the middle of the table.
The classification continues to be headed, with 6 points, by Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who, due to a not-too-good start, prevented him from signing what would have been his fourth first place finish in the championship partials. With 1-1-1-3, they remain leaders of the classification, but with their most direct rival, Marías, hot on their heels. The Portuguese, with partial runs of 3-2-2-1, showed this Saturday that they are going for it all and with 8 points they are close to the lead.
In third position, with 16 points, El Cansino repeats, skippered by Alejandra Suárez from Vigo, who not only manages to stay in the positions of honour, not too far from the two leaders, but also distances herself from the rest of the competitors. In fourth position is Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo with 29 points and fifth place, with 35 points, goes to La Galera from Coruña, led by Miguel Fernández.
The AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League returns to Baiona in November to play its third and fourth days, on the 6th and 20th. The fifth and final stage will be left for December, to be held on the 18th, together with the award ceremony for the winners.

This Saturday the regattas return to Baiona thanks to the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, which will live its second day starting at three in the afternoon in the waters of the bay. The Galician fleet of 8 meter monodesigns will face, if the weather permits, three new tests that will continue to define the classification of the championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates.
With three victories in the three races played on the first day, Javier de la Gándara placed his Okofen, with 3 points, at the top of the provisional classification. With 7 points, he is followed, in second position, by the young Portuguese Manel Cunha’s Marías, another of the prominent names among the J80 fleet and one of those who will give the most trouble, for sure, to achieve the final victory.
Closing the provisional podium in third position, with 12 points, we find El Cansino skippered by Alejandra Suárez, one of the women who is giving the most impetus to the women’s section of the J80 fleet, since just a few days ago she managed, also on board of an 8 meters, the silver medal in the final of the National Women’s Sailing League.
Except for last minute changes, the forecast for the sailing day is quite good. Winds from the southwest of between 9 and 10 knots with peaks of up to 12 are expected, which initially should allow the three scheduled races to be held.
They will be, as usual, windward leeward double lap courses and, if they are completed successfully, the participants will have the option of discarding their worst result, which could leave surprises in the classification.

After knowing that she was the winner, the point guard Nuria Sánchez was very satisfied with having achieved the victory in a season that has been, she said, very good for her team and for women. “We are very happy with the great season we have had. The team has done a tremendous job to get to where we are, and in a very important year for women in the sport of sailing. Our commitment to equality is to continue to be clear ambassadors of values in favor of women and in a sport that is changing, although there is still a long way to go. Thanks to the RCMASC, the RCNP and the MRCYB for betting on women’s sailing and helping us get here”.

The Basques were the winners of the last tests of the league, played this Sunday in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of Grupo Isonor.

After a blank first day due to wind and fog, this Sunday the weather conditions were favorable for the regatta committee to put into play the last four races of the competition.
Although it was planned to hold only three, the good wind conditions (from the north-northeast with an average of 7 knots and peaks of 10) and the fact of not having been able to compete on Saturday, encouraged the organization to put one more race into contention, which also led to the entry into play of a discard. The navigation was, in almost all the tests, quite agile and some very tight buoy steps, which favored the show.

In the four disputed races, Decoexa signed two first and two second, and automatically became the winner of the Galician phase. In second position, with partial 2-2-4-3, was Cansino, by Alejandra Suárez, from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo; and Helena Alegre’s AGD, from the Real Club Náutico de Palma, was third, with 3-4-7-1 on their scoreboards.

· The intense fog and a practically non-existent wind left blank the first day of tests of the final of the national circuit that takes place this weekend in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates
· The classification led by the Dorsia Covirán of the Marina Burriananova (Valencia) is maintained at the expense of the weather allowing the regattas scheduled for this Sunday to be held
In order for the competition sponsored by Grupo Isonor to be considered valid, at least two of the three scheduled races must be completed.
The intense fog and the practically non-existent wind that were registered this Saturday in Baiona left in stand by the final of the National Women’s Sailing League that the Monte Real Club de Yates organizes by delegation of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation and with the sponsorship of the Isonor Group.
Although the weather forecast announced a very complicated day, the regatta committee kept their hopes of being able to contest at least one race until the end, something that was not possible in the end. The crews arriving from different parts of Spain could not go out on the water at the scheduled time and the postponement on land was maintained from noon, the time at which the first departure was scheduled, until the afternoon.
The clock was approaching four in the afternoon when, seeing that the situation was improving somewhat, the postponement was lowered and the fleet began to go out on the water. The intense fog that prevented racing early in the morning due to lack of visibility disappeared almost completely, but with it also the northwest wind, about 7 knots, which was the maximum recorded throughout the day.
After more than an hour with the boats floating, with conditions that were not ideal and without foreseeing major changes before the deadline, it was decided to cancel the day. The crews returned to land and the sailors were able to enjoy a dinner offered by the Monte Real Yacht Club to all the participants.
Thus, the classification led by the Dorsia Covirán of the Marina Burriananova (Valencia), is maintained at the expense of the regattas scheduled for this Sunday being held. In order for the competition to be considered valid, at least two of the three scheduled races must be completed.
The Monte Real Club de Yates regatta, which this Sunday will reveal the names of the winners of the Spanish National Sailing League, is the last stage of the national circuit of the Royal Spanish Federation of Vale after passing through the Real Club Marítimo del Abra – Real Sporting Club and the Real Club Náutico de Palma.

The person in charge of sporting events at Monte Real, sailor Marga Cameselle, believes that events such as the National Women’s Sailing League are very necessary to continue promoting women in the world of sailing. “Although it is true that important steps have been taken towards equality -he assured in the official presentation-, the truth is that the effort in this field is still very necessary. And that is why we are here today, betting once again on women”.
Jorge González, CEO of Grupo Isonor at the presentation of the National Women’s Sailing League – Photo Leticia Acero
In similar terms, the sponsor of the event, the general director of the Isonor Group, Jorge González Cuenca, pronounced himself. “For us -said González- The commitment to women is a clear company objective and that is why we have decided to support this competition. We share with this regatta, with sport and particularly with sailing, values of equality, sustainability, self-improvement, success and teamwork; and all of them will be present this weekend in Baiona”.
After its first two stages, the 2021 National Women’s Sailing League is headed by Dorsia Covirán (Marina Burriananova), armed by Ana Pujol and Nuria Sánchez. The sailboat, skippered by Marta Garrido, was the winner in the two previous tests held in Bizkaia and Mallorca, but will be absent from the Galicia regattas due to scheduling problems. “It was our wish to be able to dispute the final in Baiona – says the setter Nuria Sánchez-, but due to team agenda issues we will not be able to attend. It saddens us because it is always especially exciting to compete in Galicia and even more so in a year as good as this one, with so many victories achieved”.
The absence of the current leaders will add emotion to a final of the competition in which the second and third provisional classified will be: the crew of the AGD of the Real Club Náutico de Palma, skippered by Helena Alegre; and that of the Decoexa of the Real Club Náutico de San Sebastián, led by Olatz Muñoz. The Balearic Islands and the Basques are separated by 5 and 8 points respectively from the leadership of the circuit held by the Valencians.

It is titled “Get air, fly and triumph” , it is made with mixed techniques of acrylic, oil and natural pigments on wood and symbolizes the symbiosis of women with the sea through sailing.

The last two agreed on the importance of continuing to support initiatives that fight for equality between men and women. “From the Pontevedra Provincial Council -assured the deputy Gorka Gómez- For years we have been committed to women, equality and feminism. And we do it with real measures, eliminating the differences in contributions to male and female teams that occurred years ago. These are real measures that we are going to continue to apply.”

The mayor of Baiona, Carlos Gómez, especially thanked Isonor for its support. “It is important that the private company -said the councilor- and the administrations collaborate with events that try to fight against the gender gap and fight for equality between men and women.
