· The club has requested a grant from the Consellería do Mar de la Xunta de Galicia through the FEMP and the GALP7 to be able to carry out a series of improvement works to provide a better service to pilgrims
· Among the actions planned is the construction of an access ramp for people with disabilities and the reformulation of various facilities to minimize energy consumption
· Other measures that are intended to be implemented involve the application of discounts to pilgrims who stop at the club within the framework of the Xacobean Nautical Crossing and a special discount for women
One of the objectives that the Monte Real Yacht Club has set for this 2018 is to improve its facilities in order to provide a better service to pilgrims who want to do the Camino de Santiago by sea within the framework of the “Xacobean Nautical Journey ” . This is a new proposal, promoted by the Xunta de Galicia and the Association of Galician Nautical Clubs (ASNAUGA), which offers sailing lovers the possibility of sailing the pilgrimage route to Compostela.
To complete it, there are two possibilities: a north route, which starts in Ribadeo; and a southern one, which begins in Baiona, at the historic Monte Real Yacht Club, chosen as the starting point for the Xacobean Nautical Crossing due to its long and prolific history in the Galician nautical scene, and because it also has the Q of Tourist Quality, an essential certification to be part of the initiative.
Despite being within the group of 13 Galician nautical clubs distinguished with the Q for Tourist Quality, the Monte Real Club de Yates seeks to improve the attention it pays to its pilgrim transits and for this reason has requested a subsidy from the Consellería do Mar de la Xunta de Galicia through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (FEMP) and the Local Action Groups of the Fisheries Sector (GALP) to execute the actions.
With the planned works, the Monte Real Yacht Club intends to improve its facilities to welcome the flow of visitors with quality guarantees, while renewing certain services to achieve greater energy savings and responsible use of energy.
Among the actions scheduled are the construction of a 100% accessible ramp that guarantees access to the terrace for people with functional diversity and the renovation of the sanitary facilities, adapting them to responsible consumption and energy saving protocols.
Other measures that are intended to be implemented involve the application of a 15 percent discount on club fees to pilgrims who stop at Monte Real within the framework of the Xacobean Crossing, increasing that discount to 25 percent in the event that the patron of the boat is a woman and the inclusion of a visit to the Baiona fish market in the price of the mooring, with the aim of making all those pilgrims who wish to know this important economic activity of the fishing village.
The intention of the Baionese club is to take advantage of the launch of the proposal of the “Xacobea Nautical Crossing” by the Xunta de Galicia to renew its facilities and promote this new tourist product, attracting a new profile of visitors to Baiona and mitigating the tourist seasonality in which the summer and winter periods continue to be very different.
Likewise, Monte Real will favor the economic revitalization of the municipality, since it undertakes to carry out all the planned actions with local suppliers in the area, provided that the business fabric allows it.

Attention is drawn to the Fundamental Rule 4 DECISION TO RACE, of part 1 of the RRS that establishes:
“It is the exclusive responsibility of a boat to decide whether to participate in a test or to continue racing”
· The sailboats owned by Portuguese Afonso Leite and Javier de la Gándara from Vigo were placed leaders of the competition today tied on points, making Virazón de Miguel Lago, who was in the lead, fall to third position
· With several false starts and a general call on the water, the nervousness of a fleet that sees how the competition is approaching its end and tries to give everything to sneak into the positions of honor was felt this afternoon
· The entry into play of a discard allowed the sailboats to eliminate their worst result to date and left the intermediate positions of the classification very tight for the last two days to be played in March
Afonso Leite’s Miudo and Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen were placed leaders of the Infinitus Rent Trophy today after the celebration of the fourth round of the J80 competition that the Monte Real Club de Yates has been holding since the beginning of the year. Tied on 13 points at the top of the standings, Miudo and Okofen dropped Miguel Lago’s Virazón to third position, which was in the lead and remains, despite losing the lead, one of the clearest competitors for the trophy gold.
With several false starts and a general call, the nervousness of a fleet that sees how the competition is approaching its end, and tries to give everything to sneak into the positions of honor was palpable on the water this afternoon. Today’s was also an important day due to the entry into play of a discard, which allowed each sailboat to eliminate its worst result so far, changing the ranking quite a bit.
Although the forecasts announced a difficult day, with little wind for navigation, it finally remained quite stable, and with an average of 8 knots it allowed the fleet to dispute the three scheduled tasks. In the first, Guillermo Blanco’s Meltemi, from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña, won; in the second, the Ferralemes, by Enrique Porto, from Monte Real; and in the third the Portuguese Miudo, from the We Do Sailing club.
With these results and with the discard coming into play, the classification, which Virazón had been leading, changed a lot and practically all the crews changed position. The provisional podium is currently occupied by Miudo, Okofen and Virazón, who are first, second and third respectively.
Fourth place is occupied, with 28 points, by Cansino, by Fernando Yáñez; and in fifth and sixth position are Guillermo Blanco’s Meltemi, with 31 points, and Luis de Mira’s Namasté, with 34. In the intermediate boxes, the short distance that separates a large part of the fleet predicts an exciting end to a trophy to which two new J80s were added today, Javier Martínez Valente’s Cunichán; and the Boi de Canto of the vice-commodore of Monte Real, Genoveva Pereiro.
Once the halfway point of the competition has been passed, the Infinitus Rent Trophy has only two days left to define the winners’ podium. The next one will be held in fifteen days, on March 10, and the 24th will be the final day. For this last stage, a fellowship dinner is also scheduled at the facilities of the Monte Real Yacht Club and the awards ceremony for the winners.

· Martín Wizner from Vigo and Pedro Ameneiro from Pontevedra, current world champions under 17 in the 420 class, add a new success to their meteoric career
· The team made up of Africa Alonso and María Pérez Canal won the prize for the best female crew in the competition organized by Monte Real
· In the SUB 17 category, the winners were Jacobo García and Antoni Ripoll from the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, who also came third overall.
· The winners received their prizes from the manager of Baitra, Juan Carlos González, a great promoter of grassroots sailing in Galicia
Martín Wizner from Vigo and Pedro Ameneiro from Pontevedra have just been proclaimed winners of the Baitra Dinghy Sailing Trophy, held this weekend in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club and sponsored by the Baitra naval accessories company.
The current world champions under 17 in the 420 class achieved victory after signing two first places and one third in the three races held in the Saturday’s stage , results that were maintained after Sunday’s day, in which it was impossible to play any heat due to lack of wind.
With a highly refined technique and a great competitive spirit, the young sailors, from the 2001 generation, adapted to the Baiona course as the tests progressed. “The first heat was a bit difficult for us and we broke the crow’s feet but in the second, already accustomed to the roles, we picked up the pace and placed first, and in the third we were able to stay without problems” , Ameneiro assured at the end of the trophy.
Wizner and Ameneiro thus add a new success to their meteoric career, a resume that already includes, in addition to the under 17 world championship, the silver of the Athens European Open and the bronze of the 420 junior European Championships, held in Lago di Garda (Italy). Their next challenge, for which they are already preparing, is the Spanish Championship for the class, which will be held next March in Gran Canaria. “We are very excited -says Wizner- and this trophy has served as training to continue improving for the national”.
Therefore, the great trophy of the championship will go to the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, a cast replica of the Crab Battery that the winners received from Juan Carlos González, manager of Baitra and one of the great promoters of basic sailing in Galicia.
Another crew from the nautical ship from Vigo, the winner of the previous edition, formed by Jorge Enríquez and Guillermo Núñez, managed to climb to the second podium drawer; and the tandem Jacobo García-Antoni Ripoll, from the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, completed the winners’ podium by hanging the bronze medal.
In addition to finishing third overall, García and Ripoll won the prize for the best U-17 crew, beating Africa Alonso and María Pérez Canal, from the Vigo yacht club; and Yago Castro and Jaime Wizner, who were second and third respectively.
The girls took, in addition to the second prize in U-17, the award for the best female crew of the competition.
Present at the awards ceremony for the winners were the president and several directors of the Monte Real Club de Yates, as the organizing club; the manager of Baitra, as sponsor of the event; the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal; the councilor for maritime activities of Baiona, Raúl Costas; and the president of the Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde.
The next appointment with the regattas in Baiona will be the Infinitus Rent Trophy, for J80 monotypes, which next weekend celebrates its fourth day, with Miguel Lago’s Virazón at the head of the classification.

The 420 world champions, Martín Wizner and Pedro Ameneiro, from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, lead the Baitra Trophy after the first day of tests, held this afternoon in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club and the sponsorship of Baitra Naval Accessories.
The crew of junior world champions, both from the 2001 generation, started somewhat weakly, with a third position in the first round, but very soon they picked up the pace of the competition and sentenced the opening day with two first places and five points on the scoreboard .
Very close to them, just two points away, were their teammates, Guillermo Núñez and Jorge Enríquez, who went out into the water with great enthusiasm, ready to revalidate the victory achieved in the previous edition.
Completing the provisional podium, with 11 points in the standings, is the crew made up of Jacobo García and Antoni Ripoll, from the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, who are also first in the under 17 category; and very close to them, with 13 points, are Alejandro Pérez and Iago García, from the Vigo yacht club.
Vigo and Sanxenxo are fighting for the podium of a Baitra Trophy that held its opening day this afternoon in the Bay of Baiona with very good conditions, on a cold but sunny day and with a wind that remained up from the start, blowing from the north with some 10 knots on average.
After a failed start and general call, the fleet completed three tests of about 40 minutes each in a trapezoidal field delimited by buoys. The sleeves were defining the provisional podium and the clubs from Vigo and Sanxenxo took the places of honor.
The Baitra Trophy ends tomorrow Sunday in Baiona with the second and last day of tests starting at eleven in the morning. The forecasts indicate that there will be less wind than today, but the regatta committee hopes to be able to start another three tasks, in a regatta field similar to today’s.
Once the competition in the water is over, the facilities of the Monte Real Yacht Club will host the awards ceremony for the winners, which will be attended by the manager of Baitra, Juan Carlos González, as sponsor of the event; the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal; the president of the Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde; and various directors of the host club.
