The merger between Portugal and Spain is still latent with the celebration of the aforementioned Circuit and the prized Don Juan de Borbón Trophy, which rewards the best Portuguese boat in the Royal Regatta, created in memory of the grandfather of HRH Don Felipe de Borbón, Honorary President of the Monte Real being, in addition, the Prince of Asturias Trophy phase scoring for the Xunta de Galicia President Trophy.

Since 1986, the Bayonne Yacht Club and the Military Naval School of Marín annually encourage and reinforce the development of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, providing it with content that promotes and disseminates the rich Galician maritime culture with a classic and traditional style, and the great challenges yachts of the best Spanish and Portuguese sailing fleets.

In its concern for each of the Divisions that will take part in this edition of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, the organization has drawn up a complete Regatta Announcement that contemplates the execution of various tests, protecting the navigation style of the boats that attend Baiona.

For the ORC 0-1-2-3, Monotypes and Ladies Cup, the development of 6 tasks is planned during the three days, all of them arranged to the wind, that is, technical routes between windward-leeward type buoys, each test treasuring the skill and skill of skippers and crews due to the constant work on board each boat, with precise maneuvers in tacks and gybes, and where the chosen board decides the success or the possible errors that the tacticians may undertake when charting the appropriate course, a difficult decision taking into account the limited margin of the routes.

The Classics, which have a different configuration, will undertake coastal routes, two in their entirety, one on Saturday, the day on which their participation begins, and another on Sunday.

As for the ORC, the Spanish Championship for the Galicia Zone is put into play again in the Prince of Asturias Trophy, defined by the grouping of the four main Divisions in two main prizes, that of Groups 0-1 and 2- 3.

With just a few lengths difference, the Aceites Abril won the fourth test, tied at 6 points with the coachbuilder sailboat, but resolving in their favor, due to the success achieved in Sunday’s race.

In the ORC Division 0-1, after the Pérez-Canal, Castrosua, owned by Willy Alonso, remained in third place, Arroutado 2 from Porto, owned by José Manuel Pérez, from the Real Club Náutico Portosín, with 17 points.

This Division was the class that recorded the most breakdowns during the competition, including the leak that occurred today aboard the Cenor&Electrolux after a pantocazo of the waves that displaced its slide or speed guide. Withdrew to port by their own means, everything was in an initial scare.

In ORC 2 things were clearer from the beginning of the Conde de Gondomar Trophy. A Bosch Communication Center, well armed with crew by its captain and skipper, Ramón Ojea (CM Canido), won three of the four tests, also accumulating 6 points that gave it a lot of clearance compared to the rest of the boats in its class. The sailboat of the Sevillian shipowner Laura Moya, managed to place another of its boats in fifth place in this Division, Sailway 1, owned by Rubén Santiago. In second place was Cachete, owned by Francisco Edreira, from the Sada Yacht Club, with 13 points, and third was Codaste, owned by Roberto Fontán (MRCYB), with 14 points.

In ORC 3 there were circumstances similar to those of Group 2 in terms of regularity, with an unchanged podium since last Thursday, where the leader was always the Asturian Juan Luís Tuero, with Luna Nueva (MRCYB), who finished with 4 points, being surpassed on this day by Enxuto, who won the windward-leeward. Pablo Conde’s boat (CN Combarro) won silver, a second position in which only one point was the separation of steps. The bronze went to the Portuguese Margem do Azul, by Frederico Lopes (MRCYB), with 12 points.

The windward-leeward, the last race scheduled in the announcement of the Conde de Gondomar Trophy, was held under intense sea and wind conditions. For the ORC 0-1 and 2, it was their fourth test, after the two in which the ascent and descent to Carrumeiro Chico last Thursday were divided, and the one traced yesterday Saturday with the return to the Onza and Ons Islands. For the ORC 3 it was their third task, the first being the turn to the Camouco Lighthouse, on the 25th, and the return to the Cíes Islands, as the second coastal task also traced on Saturday.

The Committee set up a regatta course in an area very close to the north mouth of the Ría de Vigo. They traced 8 miles in two beats and two sterns, with a southwest wind that hovered between 212 and 220, with peaks of 18 knots of intensity and 15 on average.

The awards ceremony was held at five in the afternoon, an act presided over by Rafael Olmedo, president of Monte Real, and accompanied by the mayor of Baiona, Jesús Vázquez Almuiña; the president of the Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde; the councilors for Maritime Activities and Mobility, Raul Costas and Policarpo Vilar, respectively; and the Vice Commodore of the Yacht Club, Alejandro Retolaza.

Draws were made courtesy of Jotún and Morfisa, with a Bonus from Paradores, and another, from Swiss Jewelry, consisting of a box of watches.

Monte Real recognized and rewarded the youngest sailor in the county trophy, Ignacio Klett, crew member of the Cenor&Electrolux (RCR Galicia), who at only 7 years old already disputed the ascent to the Carrumeiro Chico.

The silver tray of El Corte Inglés, which rewards the overall winner of the XXXVIII Conde de Gondomar Trophy, was delivered by Olmedo to Aceites Abril, with the entire crew in team formation.

El Conde already has its first leaders after completing the long coastal route

The XXXVIII edition of the Conde de Gondomar Trophy already has its first leaders, after the dispute on the first day of the county regatta, in which the names of the different lists by class have provisionally left their mark.

Departing at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 25, Top scheduled for 11 a.m. and delayed by the Committee to gather skippers and crews in the Yacht Club garden, where a minute of silence was observed for the victims of the terrible accident that occurred on Wednesday night in Santiago de Compostela, the sailboats crossed the line sailing as a fleet the three divisions into which the cut or rating (sail capacity of the boat and size) has been divided, ORC 0-1, ORC 2 and ORC3.

Clean departure from the interior of the Bay of Baiona, with a first direct boarding to the Carallones and La Negra beacons, without having to use an unmarking buoy, thanks to the northwest that indicated its origin. The wind was around 8-10 knots, an intensity that was maintained on average during the total 96-mile route of this first day, between Baiona – Carrumeiro Chico (Ensenada de Finisterre) – San Martiño Island (Islas Cíes).

After passing through the maritime signaling buoys, all the sailboats took the option of navigating around the outside of the Cíes Islands, first leaving the Boeiro Lighthouse on its starboard side, with the exception of the ORC 3, which sailed along the Costa de la Vela, as it had a shorter route (40 miles) and whose turning point was the Camouco Lighthouse, located north of Ons Island. Navigation without great difficulties, with a small wave, barely 1 meter.

Five minutes after the official time of the Top, the Committee gave a new departure, in this individual case, to the Armeigin III, a powerful 70-foot long (21 meters), which sailed as part of the Count of Gondomar’s fleet, but with a record of time independent of the rest of the participating boats.

Beautiful landscape scenes mixed with the beauty of the tactics on the sides of the sailboats, marking in a very defined way the favorites for the general classification of this first great section, such as Castrosua, Pairo 8 and Aceites Abril, in the case of the ORC 0-1, or the Bosch Communication Center, Cachete or Alimentos de Zamora, in ORC 2.

Gran Jotiti and Cenor&Electrolux sailed at their own pace, the former intending to take advantage of the test as training for their preparation for the Fastnet, and the latter with the aim of breaking his own record again at the Conde de Gondomar.

An inflatable boat from the MRCYB moved in advance, informing the Committee of the prevailing winds in each zone. Thus, from Corubedo to the north, the component changed quadrant, and from the southwest it moved to the northwest. The intensity was maintained in both cases between 8-10 knots on average.

In the vicinity of the Carrumeiro Chico, a control boat from the Yacht Club was anchored, with a regatta official and sailors who carried out control tasks as it passed through the mythical lighthouse of Ensenada de Finisterre.

The first to turn it around was Cenor&Electrolux (RCR Vilagarcía), owned by Martín Bermúdez, who did it in real time. However, the rating was favorable to Aceites Abril (RCN Vigo), owned by the Pérez-Canal brothers, who won the section. After the Ourenses came Castrosua, owned by Willy Alonso, and Pairo 8, owned by Marga Cameselle, who was fourth, both from the MRCYB. Third position went to Cenor&Electrolux itself.

From this moment the second test began, without stopping the sailboats, projecting the way back to the Cíes Islands, where the Committee had anchored.

The Bosch Communication Center (CM Canido), by Ramón Ojea, did the same, and also won this first heat.

After 6 hours 51 minutes and 44 seconds, the Cenor&Electrolux made its entrance in real time, taking the entire track in compensated time for Willy Alonso’s Castrosua. Oils April was second overall on the first day, and Pairo 8 was third.

Bosch Communication Center repeated victory, and also took the second test. Cachete, by Francisco Edreira (CN Sada), was second, with Alimentos de Zamora (CDR Zamora), by Juan Carlos de Ana, third.
