Dear partners:

We are pleased to inform you that the new seafood hatchery at the MRCYB restaurant is now up and running. With it, we intend to further expand and improve the range of shellfish that is already on offer, more specifically with regard to shellfish from the coast: Norway lobster, red lobster, blue lobster and spider crab. However, to facilitate the anticipation and adequate availability of these products, it is advisable to make a reservation and order in advance.

As always, you can contact the restaurant by calling 986 35 62 26 or through restaurant@mrcyb.com .

A greeting and good profit.

On Wednesday the 5th we were lucky enough to have the boys and girls from the Juan María Center in our facilities to continue their training in the world of nautical sports and sailing.

Due to the weather conditions they have not gone out on the water, they have taken advantage of their trainers to give a theoretical-practical class in which they have shown great desire and that day after day they show more nautical knowledge.

A pleasure to be able to enjoy with them everything that the sea can bring us.

This weekend a fantastic joint training session was held at the MRCYB with the Optimist regatta teams from RO Yachts Club Combarro, CVVC and MRCYB.

It has been two intense days, with all kinds of weather conditions, in which there has been time for tactical/technical classes in the classroom and at sea.

We must highlight the great work of the sailors and especially the coaches of all the participating clubs.

A great job has been done fostering relationships between clubs and between boys and girls.

Congratulations to all for the great work.

We are pleased to announce that the Monte Real Club de Yates has started its sailing courses for people with physical and mental disabilities.

With the collaboration of the Juan Maria Center and the Encaixamos Val Miñor Association, the first theoretical and practical classes began on January 15.

The coordinator of the Carlos Rúa Sailing School and the coaches Samuel Montouto, Carlos Hernandéz and David Fontán have traveled to the Juan Maria Center, who have given a theoretical class supported by videos and didactic material, with which they have begun to discover the world of sailing and the sea.

In the case of sailing aimed at the physically disabled, the boys from the Encaixamos Val Miñor Association have come to the MRCYB, who have had the opportunity to enjoy a theoretical class and a practice session in which they have already been able to get on the boat and they have dared to handle it enjoying the new sensations that the sea offers them.

This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long journey with all these groups of boys and girls, since their desire and enthusiasm are great.

Last Tuesday, the 17th, within the Yacht Club, an event of special singularity was held. An emotional tribute was paid to Rafael Olmedo Limeses, on his 40th anniversary as President of the company. Rafael Olmedo becomes the longest-serving President, at the head of a nautical society in our country. Rafael Olmedo, at 96 years old, continues to direct the club’s activity with effective success. He is unanimously recognized as one of the reformers and innovators of the nautical-sports structures in Spain. Under his mandate, the Baiona Club reached the highest sports levels, both nationally and internationally, becoming the first Spanish club to present a challenge in the Copa América.

During the act, which was offered by Alfonso Paz Andrade, a congratulatory telegram from the Prince of Asturias, Don Felipe de Borbón, was read. Likewise, a plaque was discovered on the central signal mast that from now on will bear the name of Rafael Olmedo.

The President and the rest of the Board of Directors of the Monte Real Club de Yates wish you Happy Holidays.

Great weekend in the bay of Baiona, where a joint training session was held for the CM Canido Optimist regatta teams and the MRCYB.

There have been two days in which both theoretical and practical classes have been developed, taking advantage of the weather conditions on Saturday and Sunday.

From the MRCYB we want to thank CM Canido for his visit to our facilities, as well as the collaboration of his director Emilio Mendez and his trainers David Arambarri and Diego Montouto.

The Monte Real Yacht Club of Bayonne has once again re-established the cafeteria and restaurant service.

This month of November the municipal sailing school of Baiona has started. We have a group on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which are already enjoying our boats and the bay.

We still have places available with very good prices, so there are no excuses.

Any questions at school@mrcyb.com or at our offices.

This Sunday has concluded the Atlantic Week 2013 with the celebration of the Optimist International Meeting.

It has been 3 very hard days of competition due to the weather and the loss of their coach Nacho Campos, replaced by David Fontan and Samuel Montouto.

The boys and girls have given everything in these circumstances, and there is no other choice but to continue training and working very hard to improve.

This weekend the boys and girls of the MRCYB optimist regatta team travel to Vigo to participate in the 2013 Atlantic Week.

Leading the expedition will be Nacho Campos accompanied by sailors Elena Molares, Rosalia Martinez, Emma Arana, Sandra Trigo, Pedro Salgado and Ricardo Salgado.

Good luck boys and girls, and enjoy this great regatta.

This past weekend, the two scheduled days of Open Doors have been held.
There have been more than 25 boys and girls from the area of Baiona, Val Miñor and Vigo who have come to learn first-hand about sailing and how the MRCY Bayona regatta team trains.

This weekend the 2nd Qualifying Regatta of the 2013/2014 season was held in the waters of A Coruña.

It has been a difficult regatta with many roles and unstable wind, so much so that no heat could be done on Sunday.

Positive conclusions and above all we have to continue working and training.

If you want to try what it is like to sail in different boats, this weekend, you have the opportunity.
Saturday and Sunday morning from 10:00 to 14:00.
If you are between 7 and 18 years old, come totally free to live a new experience in the bay of Baiona.
To sign up, send an e-mail to escuela@mrcyb.com

From the MRCYB we want to send all our support to the two boats that are competing for the club in the Portosín Platu 25 World Championship: the BRILLAMAR, owned by Margarita Cameselle and Alberto García, and the MARVO, owned by Alberto Viejo.

GOOD LUCK!!!
