The Galician Sailing Federation has chosen the Monte Real Club de Yates to organize, for the sixth consecutive year, the Galician Solitary and Two-handed Championship, a competition sponsored by Inserimos Energía and which the club from Baiona will dedicate to its former president Rafael Olmedo, who passed away in 2015. The test, which will be held next Saturday, is, due to its characteristics, one of the most exciting of the sailing season in Galicia, since sailboats compete with crews reduced to the maximum, with one or two sailors on board.

Participants must complete a route of between 30 and 41 miles with obligatory steps through different points of the Rías Baixas. After crossing the starting line inside the Bay of Baiona, the boats will head towards the Carallones and La Negra beacons, in the surroundings of the Estelas Islands. They will then cross the entrance to the Vigo estuary through the interior of the Cíes Islands and go to the Camouco lighthouse, opposite the Ons island, at the mouth of the Pontevedra estuary. From there, the return to Baiona will begin, where the arrival point will be installed in front of the Tenaza tower.

New technologies will have a prominent presence in the competition thanks to the eStela mobile application, through which each boat will transmit its position in real time. In addition to providing security to the championship, this system will allow the public to follow the development of the test live at all times, through a website.

Among the contenders for the 2017 title will be the current solo champion and recent winner of the “Volta ás Cíes” at the Liceo Marítimo de Bouzas, Jean Claude Sarrade, who will skipper, as always, his Fend la Bise.

The Galician Solitaire and Two-Handed Championship – III Rafael Olmedo Memorial will end with the award ceremony for the winners, on Saturday at nine o’clock at night, and a seafood dinner at the organizing club’s facilities.

After more than two hours of waiting in the water, the sailboats returned to land and the scores of the two regattas held on the opening day of Saturday served to design the final general classification of the championship.

In the 420 class, the Real Club Náutico de Vigo placed two of its crews at the top of the podium. In sub-19, Carlota Hernández and Ana Carrasco took the gold; and Jorge Enríquez and Guillermo Núñez, in addition to winning in the sub-17 category, were winners of the general classification of the class.

In sub-19, Elena Molares and Enma Arana occupied the second and third position; and Yago González and Jorge González, all wearing the organizing club’s pendant.

She received gold in her category (Optimist A), the award for the best female Optimist sailor and the award for overall winner of the class.

The Real Club Náutico de Vigo, the Monte Real Club de Yates and the Portuguese club We Do Sailing, from Vila Nova de Gaia shared the rest of the distinctions.

In the Optimist competition, the provisional podiums of the different categories are held by Adriana Pérez Canal and Liang Jane García, aged 12 and 11, from the Club Marítimo de Canido; and little Tiago Vecino, 10 years old, from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo.

After the initial tests this afternoon, the competition enters its final stretch tomorrow with the last rounds of the trophy, which will be held at half past eleven in the morning at a regatta field that will once again be located inside the Bay of Bayonne. The committee’s forecast is to start four heats for the 420 teams and three for the Optimists.

Baiona, May 1, 2017.- The Oral Group Galimplant of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo won the Repsol Trophy this afternoon in Baiona, in the fortieth edition of the traditional Spring Regatta of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

With a third place achieved on Saturday and the suspension of Sunday’s regatta, the crew of this Salona 37, led by Pedro Pazos, had a difficult time coming back in the last race on Monday. Against rivals as powerful as the Bosch, the Pairo or the Menudeta, the Oral Group had to use its best weapon, which is its team, a group of family and friends with more than eight years of experience sailing together.

The boat from Sanxenxo completed the little more than fifteen miles of the course designed by the regatta committee in two hours and thirty-three minutes, surpassed only by Pairo 8 which, led by Luis Bugallo, was the fastest and the first to crossing the finish line. The crew of the Oral Group Galimplant received the day’s grand prize from Repsol’s Deputy Director of Marine and Fisheries, Carlos Sánchez Nieto, who was accompanied on the authorities’ box by the Head of Marine and Fisheries of Repsol for the south of Galicia, Inés González Megido.

The president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez, was in charge of handing out the prizes to the winners of the cruise-regatta class. The first also went to the crew of the Oral Group Galimplant, and the silver and bronze went to, respectively, the Bosch Service Solutions, from the Club Marítimo de Canido, skippered by Ramón Ojea; and the Menudeta of the Club Náutico Punta Lagoa, with Víctor Carrión at the controls.

The cruiser class was where the podium was the closest, since the first and second boats were tied on points and the third separated by just one point from the first two. The victory went to the Fend la Bise del Monte Real Club de Yates, led by Jean Claude Sarrade; and the Balea Dous by Luis Pérez, from the Real Club Náutico de Rodeira; and the Santiago Roma Rías Baixas of Iñaki Carbajo, of the Club Náutico Beluso, were in second and third position.

In the J80 class, Javier de la Gándara continues without letting up on his competitors. At the helm of the Okofen, the historic sailor has spent months proving his worth aboard these one-designs, getting the most out of his crew and signing first places one after another. He arrived on the last day of the Repsol Trophy with the certainty that he would step on the top of the podium and finally took the symbolic gold, which was presented to him by the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal.

Some distance behind Okofen, second and third place in the J80 competition were a little closer, being decided by just one point difference. Both wearing pendants from the Monte Real Club de Yates, Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes won silver and Manuel María Cunha’s Marías had to settle for bronze.

Along with De la Gándara, another of the prominent names in the one design section of the Repsol Trophy was Gonzalo Araújo. With the Bosch Service Solutions of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, the skipper from Vigo sentenced the J70 competition with an almost perfect balance, of six first places in the nine races disputed.

The rest of the podium drawers in the J70 category had an accent from Ourense, with Luis Pérez Canal and Támara Echegoyen as protagonists. The skipper of the Club Marítimo de Canido took second place aboard the Abril Verde, and the Olympic champion signed the third as skipper of the Sogacsa. They all received their prizes from Daniel Benavides, Head of the Pontevedra Sports Service of the Xunta de Galicia, who attended the event organized at Monte Real.

In the Figaro class, Alberto Iglesias and his crew, aboard the Ladeira, caused a surprise on the last day and managed to snatch the victory, by just one point, from Elena Raga’s Serralleiras, who had been leading since the start of the championship. The winners’ podium, to whom the awards were presented by Manuel Villaverde, president of the Galician Sailing Federation, was completed by the women’s team of the Madrilenian Sailing Federation, headed by Amparo Mollá.

Bad weather forced the coastal regatta planned for the big boats to be suspended and made the one-designs vibrate in the bay with a lot of wind and waves

· In the J80 class the Okofen and the Bosch Service Solutions in J70 once again stood out among the fleet and further separated themselves from their most direct rivals

· In the Figaros category, Elena Raga’s Serralleiras remains in the lead, followed by Amparo Mollá’s Tutatis and Alberto Iglesias’ Ladeira

Baiona, April 30, 2017.- The weather was the protagonist, this afternoon in Baiona, on the second day of the Repsol Trophy, which is held during this long weekend on May 1 under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

A rough sea with a lot of waves and winds of up to 40 knots forced the regatta committee to postpone the start of the tests for four hours. Finally, and after an improvement in the situation inside the bay, the monotypes were released.

With a somewhat larger race field than on the opening day, the fleet of J80, J70 and Fígaros competed in two heats of just over three miles, which they tackled quickly and put on a great show.

In J80, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen increases his chances of achieving the final victory of the trophy after achieving two first places in today’s regattas. Its 8 points in the general classification distance it from the 20 and 22 points of two other Monte Real boats, Manuel María Cunha’s Marías and Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes, second and third respectively.

In J70, once again an outstanding performance by Bosch Service Solutions, skippered by Gonzalo Araújo. The boat from the nautical ship from Vigo maintains the lead it achieved after the first day and increases the distance with respect to its most direct rivals, the Abril Verde de Canido, with Luis Pérez Canal at the controls; and Sogacsa de Vigo, led by Támara Echegoyen. Both are tied on points in the general classification and, pending what happens on the final day, they would close the class podium.

In the Figaros category there were no changes in the first position, in which Elena Raga’s Serralleiras remains; but yes in second and third place. Alberto Iglesias’ Ladeira, who came in second yesterday, fell to third place today, and FEMAVE’s Tutatis, skippered by Amparo Mollá, came second in the winner’s box.

Thus, few changes in the top positions of the one-designs after the two races held this Sunday, and no change in the classification of the big boats that, given the impossibility of safely completing the planned route around the outside of the bay, they stayed on the ground.

Tomorrow, Monday, May Day, the third and final day of the Repsol Trophy will be held, which will end with the awards ceremony for the winners at four in the afternoon at the Monte Real Yacht Club.

In third position was another boat from the Monte Real Club de Yates, the Marías, with Manuel María Cunha at the helm.

The J80 shared the regatta course with the J70 and the Figaros, inside the bay of Baiona, and the same competition design, with a windward-leeward layout that they completed with agility and without incident, driven by a good wind. from the southwest that remained stable in both direction and intensity.
