· In the one-design competition, the prizes stayed in Baiona with the victory of two boats from the Monte Real Club de Yates, the Marías de Manuel María Cunha in the J80 class and the Silleiro de Santi Meigide in the Fígaro class.

· The Comunica Trophy, in which 32 boats participated, marked the beginning of the season of great regattas at Monte Real, which will continue next weekend with the fortieth edition of its Spring Regatta – Repsol Trophy

Distribution of pendants in the positions of honor of the Comunica Trophy held this Saturday in the Vigo estuary, in which 32 crews participated and boats from the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, the Real Club Náutico de Rodeira and Monte Real won the victory Yate club.

The Oral Group Galimplant from Sanxenxo, skippered by Pedro Pazos, won gold in the Cruise-Regatta category after completing the program’s coastal route, almost 12 miles between Vigo and Baiona, in 2 hours and 44 minutes. They received the award from the sponsor of the event, Roberto Lira, head of the Comunica company. In second place in the Cruiser-Regatta class was the Fend la Bise del Monte Real Club de Yates, led by Jean Claude Sarrade. And the bronze went to Ramón Ojea’s Bosch Service Solutions, who sailed, as always, wearing a Canido Maritime Club pendant.

Several clubs also shared the podium in the Cruiser category of the Comunica Trophy. The grand prize of the day went to Rodeira in the Balea Dous, who won in that category with Luis Pérez at the controls. Those from Rodeira left the second and third position for the Margem do Azul III of the Monte Real Yacht Club, skippered by Frederico Lopes and the Santiago Roma Rías Baixas of Iñaki Carbajo, of the Club Náutico Beluso.

In addition to the cruiser categories, the Comunica Trophy included two more groups for J80 and Fígaros monotypes, in which the organizing club’s boats had absolute prominence. Both fleets completed the same route designed for the rest of the ships, starting in front of the transatlantic pier in Vigo, passing through the La Negra and Carallones beacons, and arriving inside the Bay of Baiona.

In the J80 class, victory went to Manuel María Cunha’s Marías, and second and third place for Javier Rey’s Virazón and Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, respectively.

In the Figaros competition, the Silleiro, skippered by Santi Meigide, won; and Ramón Palao’s Erizana and Genoveva Pereiro’s Bouvento took silver and bronze in a race that was held in good wind, with an average of eight knots, with peaks of ten at times and the occasional drop to six. knots.

Organized with the sponsorship of the Comunica company and the collaboration of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo and the Galician Sailing Federation, the Comunica Trophy is the first major regatta that the Monte Real Club de Yates celebrates in 2017, after the J80 league that organized at the beginning of the year exclusively for these monotypes.

The next sporting event for the Baiona club is the Spring Regatta – Repsol Trophy, which will be held on April 29 and 30 and May 1 in Baiona. It is one of the most classic tests of Monte Real that this year, in addition, is celebrating its anniversary, as it celebrates its fortieth edition.

Sanxenxo, Portonovo, Beluso, Bouzas, Vigo or Baiona are some of the clubs that will be represented at the Comunica Trophy that is held this Saturday in the Vigo estuary under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club and with the collaboration of the Real Club Náutico of Vigo and the Galician Sailing Federation.

In the absence of the registration deadline, which will remain open until one hour before the test begins, there are already 25 boats that make up the list of participants. Crews made up of some 130 sailors who will compete for the trophy aboard cruisers, one-design J80s and Figaros.

Everyone will hear the starting signal at two in the afternoon in front of the transatlantic dock in Vigo. After passing an unmarking buoy, they will start a route that will force them to pass through two other beacons, the Black one, to the north of the Serralleiras Islands; and Carallones, to the south, at the entrance to the bay of Baiona. Depending on the route chosen, it will be between 12 and 14 and a half miles before crossing the finish line.

An attractive route for a day in which the weather forecasts announce good conditions for sailing, especially in the Vigo estuary, with sun, a pleasant temperature and winds from the west-northwest that will blow with an intensity of between 8 and 12 knots. In the Bay of Baiona, just at the end of the route, the situation will get a bit more complicated, with more irregular and weaker winds.

If everything goes according to plan, navigation will be agile and the fleet will reach Baiona comfortably in just a few hours. Once the competition is over, the awards ceremony will be held for the winners. It will be at seven in the afternoon at the Monte Real Club de Yates facilities, with the assistance of representatives of the club’s board of directors and Comunica, the sponsoring company.

The Monte Real Club de Yates opens this weekend the 2017 great regattas season with the celebration of the Comunica Trophy, a new edition of its traditional Winter Regatta that this year includes novelties with respect to the previous edition.

The competition, which had been taking place over two days, will be reduced in 2017 to a single day, which will add excitement to the test since the crews will play it all in a single test. It will be next Saturday, April 22, when the participating sailboats must complete a coastal tour of the Vigo estuary and Bay of Baiona, starting near the Real Club Náutico de Vigo and ending near the Monte Real Club de yachts.

In the regatta, for which the free registration period is still open, ORC boats will compete, divided into classes according to their competitive capacity; and monotypes J80 and Figaros. Weather permitting, they will hear the starting signal at two o’clock in the afternoon, and several hours later the winners will be known.

The winners of each class will receive as a trophy a reproduction of a lighthouse specially designed for the occasion, at an award ceremony that will be held around seven in the afternoon at the Monte Real Club de Yates.

It will be attended, among others, by several representatives of the organizing club and Comunica, the sponsoring company, which enters for the first time, hand in hand with Monte Real, in the sponsorship of sailing events. It is a visual communication firm that offers its services throughout Galicia from the municipality of A Guarda, where its headquarters are located.

In addition to the sponsorship of Comunica, the competition has, for yet another year, the collaboration of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, which provides its facilities for the prior mooring of boats, and the Galician Sailing Federation.

In the previous edition of the Monte Real Winter Regatta, Fifty, owned by the Portuguese Rui Ramada, was the winner. It was imposed in the classification by the minimum, since it finished the tests tied on points with the Bosch Service Solutions of Ramón Ojea (CM Canido) and the Aceites Abril of Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal (RCN Vigo), and it was the tiebreaker system included in the regulations that gave him the victory.

Led by the historic sailor from Vigo, Javier de la Gándara, the Okofen won this afternoon in Baiona of the J80 Class Winter League, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates and disputed in the waters of the bay of Baiona in six days since last month from January.

With his usual crew, made up of Diego Fernández, Jaime de la Gándara and Hugo Ferreiro, joined today by Ramón Ferreiro, De la Gándara sentenced a competition in which he remained the leader from the beginning. He signed fourteen first places and two seconds in the sixteen contested races, leaving the rest of the competitors with hardly any chance.

Okofen thus adds a new victory in the one-design competitions held in Galicia, after having won, in recent months, the Prince of Asturias Trophy in the J80 category and the J80 Autumn League of the Monte Real Club de Yates.

Second place in the Winter League went to the Miudo by Storax, a Portuguese-accented boat that saw multiple crews pass through. At the cane were, in the different days, Rui Ramada, Francisca Barros, Alfonso Leite, Tiago Roquete and, in this last stage, Miguel Leite.

The Portuguese did not achieve results as clear as the Okofen, which they could only win once, but having signed a large part of the second places in the different tests allowed them to finally take silver in the competition.

The bronze went to Miguel Lago’s Virazón, another of the regulars on the J80 podiums. After handing over the command of the boat to Javier Rey for several days, Lago returned in this last stage to ensure, with his usual good work, the third position.

One step away from the podium, separated from Virazón by just three points, was Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes; and Cansino by Fernándo Yáñez, patronized today by José de la Gándara; and Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, achieved fifth and sixth place. The final classification is closed by Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, Pazo de Cea by María Campos, Namasté by Luis de Mira, Alumisel by Willy Caamaño, Marías by Manuel María Cunha and Náutico Cormorán by Francisco Javier Martínez.

The J80 Class Winter League, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates, was held over six days since last January in the waters of the bay of Baiona. The twelve participating crews completed five initial stages with windward-leeward courses and a coastal regatta in the final stage, held this afternoon.

The end of the competition was put by a fraternization dinner held at the Monte Real facilities, in which the prizes were awarded to the winners.

This Saturday the J80 Class Winter League is decided in Baiona, the one-design competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates that has been held since last January in the waters of the Bay of Baiona.

Starting at three in the afternoon, and with a good weather forecast for navigation, the twelve participating sailboats will compete in the last three regattas scheduled in the sports program.

These last three tests will be the ones that finish designing the winners’ podium, which will be climbed, in all probability, by the Okofen crews, led by Javier de la Gándara from Vigo; and the Miudo by Storax, with Rui Ramada, Francisca Barros, Alfonso Leite and Tiago Roquette alternating at the rod in the different stages.

Except for big last-minute surprises, they will take, respectively, the gold and silver of the competition; and it will be for the bronze that there is a greater dispute. Separated by just two points, Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes, skippered on the last day by Vaurien’s Spanish champion, Pablo Cabello; and Miguel Lago’s Virazón, led by Javier Rey for much of the league, will fight to climb to the bottom of the winners’ podium.

All in all, the more than probable application of a new discard, which would allow the boats to annul their worst result, could significantly modify the score and make boats such as Cansino, owned by Fernándo Yáñez, move up; or Mondo, by Bernardo Macedo, currently in the middle of the provisional classification.

A little further down the table are, in this order, the Pazo de Cea by María Campos, the Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, the Namasté by Luis de Mira, the Alumisel by Willy Caamaño, the Marías by Manuel María Cunha and the Náutico Cormorant by Francisco Javier Martínez.

The last tests of the J80 Class Winter League will be held tomorrow, Saturday, starting at three in the afternoon. The competition program provides for three regattas with a windward-leeward route lasting approximately 35 minutes each. Once finished, in the evening, the Monte Real Yacht Club will host a fellowship dinner for all the participants, in which the prizes will be awarded to the winners.

· Repsol organizes two days of training in safety issues in marinas for workers from different Galician marinas at the Baiona yacht club

· In addition to theoretical classes, attendees participated in several practical sessions on fire fighting and fuel spill containment

· The objective of the training sessions is to provide Galician seafarers with the necessary knowledge to act correctly in the event of an accident

These days the Monte Real Yacht Club is hosting training sessions on safety in marinas organized by Repsol, in which workers from different marinas in Galicia take part.

The attendees are a group of 41 sailors from the Royal Nautical Club of Portosín, the San Vicente do Mar Marina, the Marina Punta Lagoa, the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, the Baiona Marina and the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The objective of the sessions, given by Repsol’s technical assistance technician, Adrián Pérez, and Repsol’s SMAC (Safety, Environment and Quality) technician, Rosa Pérez, is for sailors to refresh their skills in safety and good practices, and acquire the necessary knowledge to act correctly in the event of an accident.

In addition to the theoretical classes, in which issues related to current safety regulations are addressed, the training sessions include several practical sessions with fuel spill containment and fire fighting exercises.

It was precisely this last practice, that of putting out a fire in the nautical facilities, the one that most caught the attention of the attendees today. The GES of Gondomar also participated in it, which went to Baiona to teach the sailors how to correctly use the different containment methods depending on the conditions and the place where the fire occurs.

The safety sessions organized by Repsol at the Monte Real Yacht Club began this Wednesday and will continue tomorrow, Thursday. Participating in the inauguration this morning were Repsol’s Head of Marine and Fisheries for southern Galicia, Inés González Megido; and the manager of the Monte Real Yacht Club, Óscar Calero.

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen caresses the victory of the J80 Class Winter League after adding, this Saturday in Baiona, two new triumphs in the regattas that they celebrate under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The crew, led by the historic sailor, managed to maintain its impeccable trajectory, signing two first places and one second in the three races held in the bay of Baiona.

De la Gándara did not manage to complete this time, but remains ahead of the competition and manages to move further away from its most direct rival, the Miudo by Storax, which despite having a very good navigation, lost places with respect to the Okofen .

Waiting for what may happen on the last day, in which a new discard will almost certainly come into play, it does not seem likely that the Portuguese, with 27 points after this afternoon’s tests, will be able to overcome the team from Vigo, who they are 13.

If there are no big changes, it would be for them the second place in the J80 Class Winter League, and the one that would be the most close would be the third place. With 53 and 56 points, Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes and Miguel Lago’s Virazón are currently vying for entry on the winners’ podium.

Led by the Spanish champion of the Vaurien class, Pablo Cabello, the Ferralemes today achieved its best result so far in the competition. In the last test this Saturday, and after entering very late in the previous two, he signed a first place that allowed him to improve his position in the league.

Closing the provisional classification are Cansino by Fernándo Yáñez, Mondo by Bernardo Macedo, Pazo de Cea by María Campos, Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, Namasté by Luis de Mira, Alumisel by Willy Caamaño, Marías by Manuel María Cunha and the Nautical Cormorant by Francisco Javier Martínez.

The last stage of the competition will be played next Saturday, March 25, on a day in which the awards ceremony for the winners will also be held.

Regatera appointment this Saturday in Baiona with the J80 fleet that competes in the Winter League organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates exclusively for these one-design boats.

Starting at three in the afternoon, the twelve participating crews will compete in three new tests in what is already the fifth and penultimate day of competition. They will do it in a regatta field located inside the bay, with weather conditions that are announced to be perfect for sailboat navigation.

The forecast is that the wind will blow from the northeast with an intensity that will not drop below ten knots and could even reach eighteen. In addition, the sun will shine, which will allow the public that approaches the Monte Boi peninsula or the surrounding beaches to enjoy the competition with very good visibility.

In this final stretch of the Winter League there are two boats that arrive with an outstanding position in the classification. They are the Okofen by Javier de la Gándara from Vigo, and the Miúdo by Storax by the Portuguese Francisca Barros. The Galician boat is still in the lead after winning practically all the races held so far, but the Portuguese team managed to close the gap and on the last day it was 10 points behind the leader.

Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes and Miguel Lago’s Virazón, skippered by Javier Rey in the last stages, are fighting for third position separated by just three points. They are followed in the classification, although at a greater distance, by the Cansino, the Mondo, the Pazo de Cea, the Namasté, the Luna Nueva, the Marías, the Alumisel and the Náutico Cormorán.

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen continues to lead the standings after winning two of the three races held this Saturday in Baiona

· The Miúdo by Storax led by the Portuguese Francisca Barros won one of the tests and managed to close the gap with respect to the leader

· The coincidence of the regatera day with the afternoon of carnival left curious images in the water at the hands of the female crew of the Pazo de Cea

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen remains at the top of the J80 Class Winter League of the Monte Real Club de Yates after winning two of the three tests held this Saturday in the bay of Baiona.

The boat skippered by the historic sailor from Vigo only found a rival in Francisca Barros’ Miúdo by Storax, who managed to overcome it in one of the tests. That first place in one of the races, the two seconds he got in the rest of the race, and the discard that was applied after completing twelve tests, allowed the Portuguese to close the gap with the Okofen.

Ten points are what separate, after finishing this fourth day, the first and second classified in the one-design league. Okofen with ten points and Miúdo with twenty, would take, if they manage to maintain results, the gold and silver of the competition. The bronze would be somewhat more close, since dances continue to be produced in that position.

Miguel Lago’s Virazón, skippered by Javier Rey in the last two days, fell to fourth position this Saturday after Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes managed to snatch third place from the provisional podium. Despite everything, the separation between both boats is just three points, so we will have to wait for the next few days to see how the league evolves.

Fernándo Yáñez’s El Cansino, with José de la Gándara at the helm on this fourth day, remains in fifth position; and sixth place continues to be for Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo.

The female crew of the Pazo de Cea, led by María Campos, went up to the seventh drawer this Saturday. A team that also left the curious note of the day, going out to compete with feather headbands on their heads, filling the regatta with a carnival spirit.

The rest of the classification is completed by Namasté by Luis de Mira, Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, Marías by Manuel María Cunha, Alumisel by Willy Caamaño and Náutico Cormorán by Francisco Javier Martínez.

The J80 Class Winter League rests next weekend and resumes in March with the last two days of testing, on the 11th and 25th.

· The one-design competition organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club celebrates this Saturday the fourth of the six scheduled days

· The crew led by Javier de la Gándara leads the league convincingly after winning in all the previous stages

· The tests will start at three in the afternoon in the bay of Baiona and can be seen from the Monte Boi peninsula and nearby beaches

Baiona will live this Saturday a new day of sailing at the hands of the J80 Class Winter League of the Monte Real Yacht Club. Starting at three in the afternoon, the twelve sailboats entered in the one-design competition will compete in three new regattas in the waters of the bay of Baiona.

They will do so with conditions that are announced as favorable for navigation, since the forecasts point to a new sunny day, with pleasant temperatures and a west wind that will blow with an average intensity of 8 knots.

The regatta committee will start three windward-leeward races in a field that will be defined in the moments prior to the competition, but which will be located inside the bay, visible to all those who want to enjoy sailing the sailboats from the Monte Boi peninsula and the nearby beaches.

After winning the three previous days, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen is the boat that leads the league, 13 points behind its rivals.

· The fishermen’s association “La Anunciada” and the Monte Real Yacht Club renewed this Thursday a collaboration agreement for the next 5 years

According to the agreement, the 240 members of the brotherhood will be able to beach their boats at the facilities of the Monte Real Yacht Club

· In addition to being able to access this and other services, the fishermen of Baiona will benefit from the reduced rates that apply to members of Monte Real

The president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez, and the patron saint of the fishermen’s guild “La Anunciada” of Baiona, Susana González, signed this Thursday the renewal of an agreement thanks to which the fishermen of Baiona will be able to carry out the strandings of their boats in the club’s facilities.

According to the agreement, signed for a period of five years, in addition to the boat docking service, with travelift and crane, Monte Real will provide the 240 members of the brotherhood with other services such as carpentry, compressor, frogman, loading battery, cantiño, stays on car and varadero.

It will also do so by applying the reduced rates that the club currently offers its members, considerably more advantageous prices than those that can be found on the market.

For its part, and by way of consideration, the brotherhood of “La Anunciada” will facilitate access to its facilities to those clients of Monte Real who, through organized visits, want to know how the entity works.

With this new agreement, the Monte Real Yacht Club and the fishermen’s association “La Anunciada” renew for five years the ties of friendship and the spirit of collaboration that have united both entities for years.

· The boat skippered by Javier de la Gándara won once again in all the tests held this Saturday in the bay of Baiona

· The Miudo by Storax and the Virazón complete, together with the Okofen, the provisional podium of the competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates

Two new boats joined the J80 fleet of the J80 Class Winter League in Baiona on this third day, the Marías and the Náutico Cormorán

A great regatera day this Saturday in Baiona with the celebration of the third stage of the J80 Class Winter League, in which Okofen continues to command forcefully.

The sailboat skippered by Javier de la Gándara consolidated its leadership in the competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates after winning the three races held this afternoon, moving it even further away from its rivals.

Neither the shifty wind, which made navigation difficult and forced a change of route, nor the good work of some crews, who managed to overcome it at times, prevented Okofen from winning another day.

Miudo by Storax, skippered on this occasion by Rui Ramada, and Manuel María Cunha’s Marías, who joined the Baiona J80 competition this Saturday, were their most direct competitors. They managed to get ahead in certain sections of the regatta, but De la Gándara’s mastery in the last miles of each race allowed him to leave them behind him to always cross the finish line first.

Three new heats for the classification of the J80 Class Winter League and three new victories for Okofen, which consolidates its leadership, already separated by 18 points from the rest of the boats. Following in the classification are Miudo by Storax and Virazón de Miguel Lago, skippered this Saturday by Javier Rey. They are second and third on the provisional podium, with 21 and 28 points respectively, and would get the silver and bronze of the trophy if they maintain their good results.

Further down in the classification, the same positions with which they arrived from the previous day were Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes, Fernándo Yáñez’s Cansino and Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

In the rest of the positions there were changes. Luis de Mira’s Namasté rose from ninth to seventh place, from which Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva fell. The girls from Pazo de Cea, led by María Campos, remain in eighth, and close the classification is Manuel María Cunha’s Marías, who haggled for the first time today in the Winter League; Willy Caamaño’s Alumisel, which did not go out into the water today; and the Náutico Cormorán of Francisco Javier Martínez, who disputed his first regatta in the J80 trophy this Saturday.

After the celebration of this third stage, the competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates has only three days left to finish and see who will win this new edition of the J80 Class Winter League. The next regattas will be held within fifteen days, on Saturday, February 25; and the two final days on Saturday 11 and 25 March.
