The Adapted Sailing School of the Monte Real Club de Yates has just received a new endorsement from the Xunta de Galicia. A collaboration agreement signed this Monday with Deporte Galego will allow the Baionese club to continue promoting activities with groups at risk of social exclusion.

The General Secretary for Galician Sports, José Ramón Lete Lasa, was in charge of ratifying with his signature the support that the regional administration will provide in 2023 to the School, created more than ten years ago under the motto “Sailing for all”. .

Although at first the objective was to offer people with functional diversity (with physical, sensory, intellectual or mental disabilities), the possibility of sailing and enjoying the sea in equal conditions, in recent years, the school’s activities have been been expanding to other groups at risk of social exclusion.

Currently, the proposals also extend to users of residences for the elderly in Galicia, children with behavioral problems, children under guardianship and women victims of sexist violence. With some of them, in addition to leisure and school activities, inclusions are made in high-level competitions, such as the Prince of Asturias Trophy, in which in recent editions an adapted boat has sailed.

The economic amount that the agreement signed with Deporte Galego will entail will allow the Bayonian club to consolidate one of its flagship projects, through which hundreds of students from different groups and associations in Galicia have passed since its creation in 2012.

The School, launched more than a decade ago, has as its main objective to offer people with functional diversity the possibility of practicing sailing on equal terms.

But although at first it was created solely for people with different disabilities (physical, sensory, intellectual or mental), in recent years it has been expanded and, currently, it also offers activities for the elderly, children under guardianship and women victims of gender violence.

Since its creation in 2012, hundreds of students from groups and associations from different parts of Galicia have passed through it to navigate the bay of Baiona in the club’s adapted boats.

The Monte Real Club de Yachts de Baiona was chosen this year to participate as a speaker at the ICOYC 2021 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE, the forum that the members of the prestigious ICOYC (International Council of Yacht Clubs) celebrate biannually in different European countries.

Invited by the directors of the prestigious association that brings together the 44 main yacht clubs in the world, Monte Real went to Barcelona, the venue chosen this year for the forum, represented by the club’s commodore, Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui.

It was he who was in charge of presenting to the delegates of the member clubs the different activities that Monte Real carries out within the framework of its program “Sailing for all” , launched almost a decade ago with the aim of offering people with functional diversity the possibility of practicing sailing under equal conditions.

A project that, although at first it was born only for people with different disabilities (physical, sensory, intellectual or mental), has been expanding over the years and currently also offers activities to older people, children in care and women victims of gender violence.

All these initiatives powerfully called the attention of the attendees, who raised numerous questions about their execution and results. The Monte Real, without a doubt, one of the most interesting talks on the event’s program, in which the promotion of women in sailing or the future of the Olympic classes, among other topics, was also discussed.

Once the ICOYC 2021 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE was over, the MRCYB Commodore was very satisfied with the experience. “Being present at one of the most important nautical forums in the world, such as the ICOYC, is an honor for the Monte Real Club de Yates. It means -he said- that the club continues to be very relevant on the international scene and that what we do from Baiona has an echo beyond our borders” .

The Monte Real organizes this Thursday in Baiona the IV Seminar on Adapted Sailing

Several coaches from the Baiona club will explain their experience at the Monte Real Yacht Club Adapted Sailing School for people with disabilities

· The objective of the seminar is to offer specialized theoretical-practical training in sailing adapted to future sports technicians from Galicia and Portugal

· The seminar organized by Monte Real and Baiventura Galicia will be attended by students from Gondomar (Pontevedra), Porto do Son (A Coruña) and Viana do Castelo (Portugal)

Tomorrow, Thursday, in Baiona, the Monte Real Yacht Club is organizing the 4th Seminar on Adapted Sailing Education in Baiona, an initiative aimed at offering specialized theoretical-practical training to future sports technicians from Galicia and Portugal.

Several coaches from the Baiona club will be in charge of giving a seminar that will include theoretical-practical sessions from half past ten in the morning until six in the afternoon. Fifty students from the IES Terra de Turonio (Gondomar – Pontevedra), the IES Porto do Son (A Coruña), the IPVC Viana do Castelo (Portugal) and ASEM Galicia will participate in them.

In the exhibitions, round tables and baptisms of the sea, issues such as the importance of adapting the teachings to the needs of the user with functional diversity, the need to adapt infrastructures and sports elements or the use of specific teaching resources will be addressed.

And all under the prism of the Adapted Sailing School of the Monte Real Yacht Club, which since 2012 offers people with functional diversity the opportunity to learn and practice sailing under equal conditions.

Over the last six years, more than 300 students with physical, psychosocial, cognitive and sensory disabilities have sailed on the club’s adapted boats thanks to the inclusive sailing courses that Monte Real has organized with the support of Fundación Repsol and the Xunta de Galicia through the Department of Social Policy and Galician Sport.

Improving the physical and emotional level of people with disabilities, increasing their self-esteem, encouraging relationships between colleagues, generating motivation and making them enjoy direct contact with nature, bringing them closer to the sea, are the main benefits achieved with sailing activities adapted.
