Hosted by the Galician Television presenter, Carlos Macía, and the club’s head of communication, Rosana Calvo, the gala was attended by some of the most outstanding athletes on the Spanish nautical scene.
The person in charge of welcoming the attendees was the president of Monte Real, José Luis Álvarez, who took advantage of the occasion to congratulate the Military Naval School, co-organizer of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, for its 75 years of history in Galicia. Álvarez also recalled two anniversaries related to the world of sailing: the 525th anniversary of the arrival of the caravel Pinta in Baiona, which will be celebrated in 2018, and the fifth centenary of the first circumnavigation of the world by Magellan and ElCano, which will be will commemorate in 2019.
The president of Bodegas Terras Gauda, sponsor of the event, succeeded at the microphone. In his speech, José María Fonseca Moretón recalled his beginnings in the world of sailing with his father and the close relationship that unites him with the Monte Real Yacht Club, of which he has been a member for more than 50 years.
After the welcome speeches, the winners followed one another on stage to collect their award and give a few words of thanks. The first to do so was the Valencian Luis Senís, who received from the commanding officer of the Naval Military School, Ignacio Cuartero, the award for the best skipper of the year for the results obtained at the head of the “Clínicas Dr. Senís” (previously Porrón IX ), with which he became the Swan 45 world champion and won the Nations Trophy for the second consecutive year.
The president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez, was in charge of giving José María Meseguer from Murcia the award for the best boat of the year, which in 2018 went to the “Pez de Abril”, winner of the two nautical competitions most prestigious in Spain, the Copa de la Reina and the Copa del Rey.

Rayco Tabares from Lanzarote and part of his team gathered on stage to collect the award given to them by the president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez.
Undoubtedly one of the moments that generated the most applause among the audience was the announcement of the prize for the best regatta team, which this year was awarded to MAPFRE for its brilliant performance in the Volvo Ocean Race, in which they achieved a meritorious second position. The trimmer and the bow of the team, the Galician Támara Echegoyen, received the award from the president of Terras Gauda wineries, José María Fonseca Moretón.

· The tall ships debuted this Saturday in competition with three very close races that leave the places of honor very tight and a very open stage with no clear favorite so far
· In the ORC 1, the competition is led by the Aceites Abril of the Pérez Canal brothers of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, while the Inosa and the Bunda of the Real Club Náutico de Coruña and Marina Sada lead the ORC 2 and ORC 3 classes.
· Manuel María Cunha’s Marías-Casas do Telhado and Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen have all the prominence of the J80 class while the defending champions in the ¡HOLA! Ladies Cup were placed in first position today
· The 33rd Prince of Asturias Trophy organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club and the Naval Military School closes the curtain tomorrow, Sunday, with the celebration of the last tests of the competition and the delivery of prizes to the winners

The large sailboats, of the Martin Miller ORC 0-1, Aceites Abril ORC 2 and Gadis ORC 3 classes, which were left without competition yesterday by the weak wind, were able to compete today in three races in front of the Cíes Islands. The boats that started as favorites were marking their ground with difficulties, since the tests were very close and the arrivals very tight.
Today the boats of the Storax Clásicos, Comunica Open and Volvo Autesa ORC 4 classes also premiered, although the wind played tricks on them and the calm they suffered shortly after taking the start, made many decide to abandon or not complete the test in the time limit.
Among them haggled the AXA Seguros boat, a 100% inclusive sailboat with a crew made up of students from the Juan María de Nigrán Center with different intellectual disabilities, accompanied by several specialized trainers.

Thus, the design of the provisional podiums is still too open to point out clear favorites to take the trophy, and everything will depend on what happens in the last races in dispute, which will be held tomorrow, Sunday, starting at noon.

Travesío and Balea dous lead the VOLVO AUTESA ORC 4 class
The Travesío La Riviere Conservas and the Balea Dous are the clearest contenders for the podium in the Volvo Autesa ORC 4 class, as they were the only boats that this Saturday were able to score points on the second day of the Príncipe competition. The boats from Vilagarcía and Rodeira, skippered by Pablo de la Riva and Luis Pérez, are first and second respectively and among them will be, almost in all probability, the winner of the Prince of this 2018.
The Nautical School will lead the COMUNICA OPEN class
The Comunica Open class closes its first day of competition with two boats in the lead and the rest of the fleet points, after abandoning the competition due to lack of wind or not being able to complete it within the time limit established by the committee.

Ten minutes later, Daniel Ayaso, who is second in the standings, crossed the Moucho.
Everything to decide in the STORAX CLASSICS class
The wind was the worst of the rivals for the Storax Clásico class sailboats, since it did not blow with enough intensity to allow them to finish what was their first test in this Prince of Asturias Trophy. Everything is still pending, therefore, in a class that will take to the water tomorrow, Sunday, just as it started, without a clear favorite and without a defined provisional podium.
The Marías climbs positions in the SOLVENTIS J80 class
Manuel María Cunha’s Marías-Casas do Telhado and Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, both from Monte Real Club de Yates, are being the undisputed protagonists of the one-design competition in the Solventis J80 class. In today’s session, very complicated by a very shifty wind, which also appeared and disappeared at times, the first places in the two contested races alternated. They were placed at the top of the classification separated by just one point from each other, and 4 and 5 points away from their most direct rival, Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino, also from Monte Real, who is third.
I roll over in the HELLO! LADIES CUP
In the HELLO! Ladies Cup, the Portuguese from BB Douro We Do Sailing, aboard HOLA.COM, stormed the lead by snatching the first position from HOLA FASHION from Santander. The defenders of the title, with Marta Ramada in the lead, gave no respite to their rivals and crossed the finish line in first position in the two contested races. The team from the Real Club Náutico de Santander fell to second place on the provisional podium and the girls from the Real Club Marítimo de Abra – Real Sporting Club, skippered by Lourdes Bilbao, are third.

Eolo wanted to be the protagonist of the opening day and left the large sailboats blank, which could not compete in any test.
The regatta committee had designed for them a coastal one starting from the interior of the Bay of Baiona, routed to Subrido and back, but the wind, very shifty and with hardly any intensity, played a trick on them and did not give them the opportunity to put your plans in motion. They moved towards the outside in search of more favorable conditions but instability continued to be the trend and finally it was decided to suspend the regatta.
Luckier were the J80s of the Solventis class and the Figaros of the HELLO! Ladies Cup that, in a regatta field located inside the bay of Baiona, two tests could be played with an average wind of about 7 knots. A third was attempted, but could not be completed.

With Diego Fernández, Hugo Ferreiro and Javier de la Gándara Jr. on board, the legendary skipper finished first and third today, which allowed him to take the lead in the standings. “The day was very complicated, with little wind and the fleet very tight, but there is still a lot of competition ahead and we hope that tomorrow and after the thermal wind will allow us to sail better,” said Diego Fernández upon returning to land. Another boat from the Monte Real Club de Yates, the Marías – Casas do Telhado de Manuel María, was weighed down by fifth position in the first race, and crossing the finish line with a course and signing first in the last, had to settle for second Market Stall. The third place on the provisional podium is occupied by Moura de Miguel Fernández, from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña.
The HELLO! Fashion commands the HELLO! LADIES CUP
In the HELLO! Ladies Cup, the victory of the day went to ¡HOLA! Fashion, led by the Polish patron based in Santander, Magdalena Czernik. With a first place and a second in the two events held inside the bay of Baiona, the girls from the Real Club Marítimo de Santander were placed at the head of the women’s competition of the 33rd Prince of Asturias Trophy. The Portuguese HOLA.COM team, led by Marta Ramada and defending the title won in 2017, started somewhat weakly in the first test, finishing fourth, but in the second barlo-sota of the day they managed to cross the line first. arrivals and placed in the second drawer of the provisional podium. The third place in the classification is occupied by the crew of the Real Club Marítimo del Abra – Real Sporting Club, skippered by Lourdes Bilbao aboard the HOLA! USES.
Reunions in the village and a seafood dinner to end the day

This Friday, a new edition of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, the quintessential sailing event in Galicia and one of the most important competitions on the Spanish nautical scene, is settling in Baiona, which in 2018 celebrates its 33rd anniversary uninterruptedly.
Pulling the strings of the organization, once again, are the historic Monte Real Yacht Club and the Escuela Naval Militar, which celebrates its 75 years of presence in Marin by participating in the trophy with several sailboats manned by aspiring midshipmen.
In the competition program, designed by a regatta committee chaired by Fernando Giraldo, the traditional scheme of three regatta days is maintained, with different tests for the participating boats, which will be divided into ORCs, Open, Classics, J80s and Fígaros.

If the wind allows it, they will start at 12:30, just half an hour after the rest of the boats, which will have to face several batons to continue climbing positions in the classification.
The scheme for Sunday, the last day of competition, will be identical to that of Saturday, with the same test design for the different classes and the same start times. It will undoubtedly be the key day of the 33rd Prince of Asturias Trophy, in which the winners’ podium will be finished and the prizes will be awarded to the best crews.
At the official presentation of the trophy, held this afternoon at the Monte Real Club de Yates, all attendees agreed on the importance of the event as one of the unavoidable sailing events in Galicia, which makes Baiona the nerve center of the world nautical, with the best crews competing in the incomparable setting of the Rías Baixas.

After having won the 2017 Rolex Giraglia and participated in this year’s Copa del Rey, the “Giulietta” arrives in Baiona from Cascais, a great ship that, despite not being a great connoisseur of the Rías Baixas, is willing to complicate it. things to the Galician crews. Two other teams to take into account will also sail with a Portuguese accent, José Carlos Prista’s “Xekmatt” and Delmar Conde’s “Porto de Aveiro”. The “MBA Atlántico”, the “Porto Caro 2”, the “Farofino” are three other sailboats that will make up the Portuguese fleet of the Prince of Asturias.
The recent winners of the Rías will not make it easy for the Portuguese neighbors, who will also try to win the Baiona prizes to boast of a double in the two great Galician competitions. They are the “Pairo VIII” of José Luis Freire with Luis Bugallo at the controls, the “Bosch Service Solutions” of Ramón Ojea, “La Burla Negra” of Juan José Martínez, the “Balea Dous” of Luis Pérez and the “Lacazán” by Sonia Cortazar.

José Luis Álvarez, president of the Monte Real Yacht Club:
“This 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of the arrival in Galicia of the Military Naval School, our great partner in this Prince of Asturias Trophy. We also commemorate the fact that 525 years ago the caravel Pinta arrived in Baiona with the news of the discovery of America. And we are already celebrating the fifth anniversary of the first trip around the world, of Magellan and Elcano. And so, with the memory of these three great anniversaries, it is how I present the Prince of Asturias Trophy. As a competition with a great tradition that we celebrate hand in hand with the Naval Military School, in a town closely related to the sea such as Baiona and with the same enthusiasm of those who one day ventured to travel the world aboard a sailboat. ”
Ignacio Cuartero, commander director of the Naval Military School:
“Seafaring training is an essential part of learning for all Navy officers and participation in regattas is the key point of this training. The Rías Baixas are also an exceptional classroom to learn navigation in all its aspects, and the Prince of Asturias Trophy has the good fortune to bring both things together. We will attend this thirty-third edition with all the school sailboats that the Naval School has and we will participate with a female crew in the HELLO! Ladies Cup”
Antón Fonseca, Vice President of Bodegas Terras Gauda:
“For Terras Gauda it is an honor to be here for another year, in a place where we feel at home due to the human quality of the people who organize both the Prince of Asturias Trophy and the National Sailing Awards. The Adapted Sailing School for people with disabilities is the perfect example of all the good that Monte Real does and I only hope that the relationship that unites Terras Gauda with the club lasts for many more years”
Walter Álvarez, territorial director of ABANCA:
“For ABANCA it is a great pride to be present at a sailing event that brings together the Galician, national and international elite. Our participation in this trophy is a true reflection of the entity’s commitment to the world of sport and the sea, betting on values such as the desire for personal improvement, perseverance or teamwork. The Prince of Asturias Trophy is the great sailing festival in Galicia and it will undoubtedly be a success”

For all these reasons, the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will honor Xabi Fernández (skipper), Joan Vila (navigator), Rob Greenhalgh (chief watch), Pablo Arrarte (chief watch), Willy Altadill (trimmer/helm), Blair Tuke (trimmer/rod), Támara Echegoyen (trimmer), Antonio “Ñeti” Cuervas-Mons (bow), Sophie Ciszek (bow) and Ugo Fonollá (reporter on board) as the best regatta team of the year.

· The first news agency in the world in Spanish will receive the Mariano Aguado Communication Award from the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards for its dissemination of current events in the world of sailing in Spain
· The jury that awards the awards wanted to recognize with this award the work carried out by EFE to publicize the activity of Spanish clubs, teams and athletes in national and international competitions
· The sports manager of the Luis Villarejo agency will be in charge of collecting the award on September 1 in the fishing village of Baiona at a gala organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club
The EFE Agency has been honored this year with the Mariano Aguado Communication Award from the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards for its dissemination of current sailing events in Spain, bringing this sport closer to millions of readers around the world.
The jury that awards the awards wanted to recognize the work carried out by EFE to publicize the activity of Spanish clubs, teams and athletes in both national and international competitions, thus facilitating knowledge of their achievements and promoting their informative journey.
About to complete 80 years of experience, EFE is currently the first news agency in Spanish and the fourth in the world, with a network of 3,000 journalists of 60 different nationalities that allows it to spread some 3 million news items a year to more of 2,000 media outlets.
The sports director of the agency, Luis Villarejo, will be in charge of collecting, next Saturday, September 1 in the fishing village of Baiona, one of the six awards that will be presented at the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards gala, organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club, coinciding with the Prince of Asturias Trophy.
After having been editor-in-chief of the newspaper Marca, director of communication for the Real Madrid player squad and head of communication for the Higher Sports Council, Villarejo has been, since 2016, the most visible head of sports for the EFE agency. The man from Madrid, who also holds the bronze medal for sporting merit, has been one of the architects of Spanish sailing having, within the agency, a space reserved for its dissemination throughout the world.
In addition to EFE, this year the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will be received by the J80 “Princesa Yaiza” (monotype of the year), the 470 crew formed by Silvia Mas and Patricia Cantero (Olympic team of the year), the Swan 42 “Pez de April” (boat of the year) and Luis Senís (skipper of the year). The last prize that remains to be revealed, which will recognize the regatta team of the year, will be announced next Friday.
· The Murcian ship and the Valencian shipowner will be awarded this year with two of the prestigious Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards that will be delivered on September 1 at the Monte Real Club de Yates (Baiona)
· The Swan 42 “Pez de Abril” of the Club Náutico Portman skippered by José María Meseguer from Murcia was proclaimed the winner of the 37th Copa del Rey MAPFRE and the 20th Copa de La Reina in 2018
· The Valencian owner Luis Senís, current Swan 45 world champion, will receive the award for having assembled and led a crew that has chained national and international titles throughout the last year
The Murcian boat “Pez de Abril” of the Portman Nautical Club, skippered by José María Meseguer, and the Valencian owner of the Swan 45 “Clínicas Dr. Senís” (Porrón IX), Luis Senís, will receive the Awards on September 1 in Baiona National Sailing Terras Gauda to the best boat and owner of the year.
In a gala that will be held, as has become a tradition, within the framework of the Prince of Asturias Trophy of the Monte Real Yacht Club, the crew of the Swan 42 “Pez de Abril” will collect the award that distinguishes it as the best of the year after having achieved victory, in this 2018, in two of the most prestigious nautical competitions in Spain, the Copa de la Reina and the Copa del Rey. The team, which in 2017 won silver in the sailing world championship, also achieved a meritorious second place in Palmavela.
At the head of the “Pez de Abril” of the Portman Yacht Club is José María Meseguer, a businessman from Murcia who started sailing when he was 40 years old, after taking an introductory course in light sailing. After making the leap to the cruise ship and changing ships, his desire and drive have made a crew rise to the top to which he has applied, according to what he says, company management criteria: creating an excellent human team, giving them resources and letting them work coordinated under good leadership.
Meseguer will share the stage in Baiona with another of the great names of sailing in Spain in this 2018, the Valencian Luis Senís, who will receive the award at Monte Real that distinguishes him as the best shipowner of the year for the great work carried out at the head of the “ Dr. Senís Clinics” (Porrón IX).
In its resolution, the jury of the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards wanted to highlight the upward evolution of a project that was born years ago as an amateur but has grown non-stop until it reaches the highest level. They are currently Swan 45 world champions and their intention is to retain the title in 2018 at the Rolex Swan Cup to be held in Porto Cervo in mid-September.
In the long sports resume of the new Luis Senís National Sailing Award there are also 4 SM La Reina trophies, 4 victories in Palmavela, 3 runners-up in the Copa del Rey de Vela and 5 Spanish ORC championships.
His last victories were achieved just a few weeks ago in Mallorca. After winning the Copa del Rey in its category, the “Clínicas Dr. Senís” was simultaneously proclaimed the winner, for the second consecutive year, of one of the most important titles in cruising sailing, the Nations Trophy Mediterranean League 2018.
