BAITRA Children’s Sailing Championship 2016
21-05-2016
On the penultimate weekend of May, the Baitra Children’s Sailing Championship is held in Baiona, a competition organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club with the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales, whose main objective is to promote children’s sailing in Galicia.
The competition will begin on Saturday 21 with the registration of participants and a meeting of committees and coaches. Once these procedures are completed, the sailors will go out to the regatta field, located in the bay of Baiona, to begin the tests, which will be held from half past two in the afternoon.
A day later, on Sunday 22, the second and last day of regattas will take place, starting at half past eleven in the morning; and in the afternoon, around half past four, the facilities of the Monte Real Yacht Club will host the award ceremony for the winners of the championship.
Sailors from the Optimist class will participate in the Baitra Children’s Sailing Championship, the most used boat to start in the world of sailing individually, given its simplicity, stability and easy handling. The young sailors will fight for victory in a maximum of 6 tests with trapeze-shaped routes and an average duration of about 40 minutes.
All those who want to enjoy the regatta and see the children competing in Baiona will be able to do so from the surroundings of the bay, in places such as the promenade that surrounds the Parador Nacional, América beach or Monte Lourido.
