· The boat led by the Finn champion Miguel Fernández Vasco and crewed by juniors from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña won the final victory in the winter league organized by Monte Real

· The crew snatched victory from the current Spanish J80 champion, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, from Monte Real Club de Yates, who came second

· Alberto García’s Solventis closed the podium in third position and the Portuguese Marías and 4 Jotas of Manel Cunha and Joaquim Moreira completed the Top 5, respectively

· The competition ended with the 7 tests held in the previous 5 days, since this Saturday the lack of wind did not allow any sleeve to finish

This Saturday one of the most disputed editions of the Baitra J80 Winter League came to an end in the Vigo estuary, which year after year is organized by Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales for the exclusive fleet of 8-meter one-design boats.

After six days and a total of seven tests held, the Kotablue Fibra Coruña 14/18, from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña, led by the Finn champion Miguel Fernández Vasco, won the competition, registering his name for the first time in the honor roll of the winter league, with 15 points resulting from partial scores of 1-3-1-4-5-1.

It was not an easy victory for the Herculean team, which fought tooth and nail for the laurels. On the third day of testing, the crew made up of several juniors from the A Coruña Sailing School (Esteban Martínez de la Colina, Juan Maciñeira and Carmen Martínez de la Colina), managed to rise from tenth to third place; and in the penultimate stage he made the leap to the first, unseating Alboroto, champion of Spain, from the lead.

He maintained that first place without difficulty this last Saturday of competition, in which the lack of wind prevented any test from completing more than the seven that had been held in previous days, so the classification was identical to that of the penultimate stage .

“It is a victory that makes me very happy,” declared Fernández Vasco at the end of the league- because it has been very well worked and because all the crew members who have competed with me during these months are students from the A Coruña sailing school, Optimist, Laser and 420, which shows the potential of these guys and the firm commitment that our club is doing for light sailing”. “Our objective now is to continue training hard to present ourselves strongly in the Príncipe de Asturias Trophy and the J80 World Championship next September in Baiona”, concluded.

The silver medal went to the Rampage of Juan Carlos Ameneiro, Javier Aguado, Juan Lago, Javier Lago and Amador Riveiro. The current champion of Spain in the class, after remaining in the lead until the penultimate day, was unable to win the final, but he was able to win second place, since he repeated the previous edition. He finished just one point behind Fibra Coruña, with 16 points (1-3-1-4-5-2).

Behind them, closing the podium with 22 points (6-2-4-2-2-6), the Solventis crew, led by Malalo Bermúdez de Castro and Alberto García, hung the bronze around their necks. And they completed the Top 5, in fourth and fifth position, the Portuguese Marías, by Manel Cunha; and 4 Jacks, by Joaquim Moreira.

And completing the list of the ten best ones are Spaco by Santiago Estevez, Miudo by Sergio Golpe, Maija by Castor Alonso, Cansino by Fernando Yáñez and Waikiki by Andrés Gómez.

After returning from the water this Saturday without having been able to celebrate any test due to lack of wind, the crews met on land to participate in the awards ceremony for the winners. The event was attended by the general director of Baitra Accesorios Navales, Juan Carlos González, sponsor of the competition. The mayor of Baiona, Carlos Gómez; the General Secretary for Sport of the Xunta de Galicia, José Ramón Lete Lasa; and the president of the MRCYB, José Luis Álvarez.

The Baitra J80 Winter League is the first of the two leagues that the Monte Real Club de Yates organizes exclusively, each year, for the J80 fleet. The second event will be in October with the Autumn League, but previously the 8-meter monotypes have marked on the calendar what will be the great event of the year with sailing in Baiona, the J80 World Cup, which will be held next September .

• After five days of tests held since last February in the Bay of Baiona this Saturday the Baitra J80 Winter League comes to an end
• The Fibra Coruña of the champion of Finn Miguel Fernández Vasco (RCN A Coruña) leads the classification with 15 points and could take the laurels
• The Alboroto of the current J80 champion Juan Carlos Ameneiro and the Solventis of Malalo Bermúdez go second and third with options to the final victory

This weekend the Baitra J80 Winter League comes to an end, which has been taking place since last February in the Vigo estuary and Baiona Bay under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates and the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales .

After five days of testing and with the score very close at the top of the standings, this Saturday starting at three in the afternoon the last bars of a competition that has been very close since its inception will sound.

If the weather allows it, the race committee will lead the crews to the Cíes anchorage, where they hope to prepare a route in the shape of a trapeze, a formula that will be used in the class World Championship for which a large part of the fleet of J80 is preparing.

If the conditions were not propitious, the race course will be drawn inside the bay of Baiona, as was done in previous days, in which batons of the windward-leeward type were disputed.

With 15 points, Fibra Coruña led by Finn’s champion Miguel Fernández Vasco, from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña, leads the table. It is closely followed, just one point behind, by Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, from the Monte Real Club de Yates and current Spanish champion of the class.

Another of the boats with the possibility of winning the final day is Solventis, also owned by MRCYB, skippered by Malalo Bermúdez de Castro. He is 7 points behind the leader and 6 behind second, and if things go well for him, he could make a splash or at least stay in the top positions.

Somewhat further apart from the first classified, Marías de Manel Cunha appears on the list, with 30 points; Joaquim Moreira’s 4 Jotas, with 37 points and Santiago Estévez’s Spaco, with 39 points.

Once the competition is over, the facilities of the Monte Real Club de Yates will host the awards ceremony for the winners and a skewer for all the crews and attending authorities.

· The boat of the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña skippered by the champion of Finn Miguel Fernández Vasco was placed at the head of the classification this Sunday

· An offline in the penultimate test held cost the current Spanish J80 champion Juan Carlos Ameneiro the first place in the table

· Solventis led by Malalo Bermúdez de Castro is third and the Portuguese Marías and 4 Jotas complete the Top 5 of the winter league

· The one design championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates will return to the water on May 27 to contest the sixth and final stage

After staying at the top of the standings since the start of the competition, the current Spanish J80 champion, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, from Monte Real Club de Yates, lost the lead this Sunday at the hands of Fibra Coruña led by Miguel Fernández Vasco , of the Royal Nautical Club of A Coruña.

An out of line of the Alboroto in the penultimate test played, together with the entry into play of a discard, which allowed the crews to eliminate their worst result from the classification, were the key elements of this and other changes that occurred in the table .

Despite the ups and downs of this last day, there are five boats that continue to stand out above the rest of the fleet in the Monte Real one-design group. They are two Portuguese, Manel Cunha’s Marías and Joaquim Moreira’s 4 Jotas; and the three Spaniards, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, Malalo Bermúdez’s Solventis and Miguel Fernández Vasco’s Fibra Coruña.

They all fought again, this Sunday, the three tests disputed. And it is that after the disappointment experienced on Saturday with the weather, which did not allow the celebration of the day, this Sunday the conditions were adequate and the J80 went out with more desire than ever to the water.

The race committee made a first attempt to get closer to the Cíes Islands course to place the route there, but there was a lot of swell and a lot of waves, and finally they decided to hold the tests inside the Bay of Baiona.

In that location, with a slightly rough sea but with a fairly stable northwesterly wind, which kept blowing between 10 and 12 knots, it was possible to start three windward-leeward type tasks, since the area does not allow, for its dimensions, a suitable trapezoidal design.

The first race featured 4 Jotas, Marías, Solventis, Alboroto and Bica de Chisco Catalán, skippered on this occasion by Luis Pérez Canal. Everyone maintained their options for a good part of the tour, but the final victory went to Marías.

In the second sleeve of the day, in which the wind dropped somewhat in intensity and the course was sniped to make it somewhat shorter, there were several out of lines. The most outstanding, for what they implied for the final classification, were those of Alboroto, Solventis and Marías, who were playing for the top positions in the table and with this penalty they were in danger of losing them.

The test, the sixth of the competition, also caused a discard to come into play, which made things even more exciting for the last round of the day, the third, in which the fiercest fight was staged by Alboroto de Ameneiro and the Fibra Coruña of Fernández Vasco.

The positions of honor were at stake, they knew it, and they went for it all, staying very close to each other throughout the journey. Finally, those from A Coruña managed to cross the finish line first and jump from third to first position, placing themselves as leaders of the competition with 15 points.

Just one point away, with 16, the Rampage appears with the provisional silver; and Solventis, with 22, holds the bronze. The Portuguese Marías and 4 Jotas close the Top 5, with 30 and 37 points respectively.

Thus, after having crossed off the calendar the first five days (of which only three could be navigated) of the Baitra J80 Winter League, the competition only has the final stage left, for which we will have to wait until the end of May. It will be on the 27th when the last three tests of the winter league will be put into play, conditions permitting, and in which the prizes will be awarded to the winners.

Before that, the Monte Real Club de Yates will put its first two trophies of the season on the line, the CdeC Trophy, on April 22; and the Repsol Trophy, on April 29 and 30 and May 1.

In both competitions, for which the Notice of Regatta has already been published and the registration period is open, the J80s will once again have their own category in which to compete in real time and continue preparing for the World Championship next September.

· At the top of the table is the current Spanish champion of the class, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, followed by Solventis and Fibra Coruña in second and third position respectively

·The Baitra J80 Winter League, which has the last three days of the six put in contention ahead, returns on the weekend of March 25 and 26

Miguel Fernández Vasco’s Fibra Coruña gave the bell this Saturday in the third round of the Baitra J80 Winter League, played with very good wind conditions in Baiona Bay.

The boat from A Coruña, led by the recently bronze medalist in the Finn World Cup, and crewed by Esteban Martínez de la Colina, Enrique Vilariño and Pablo Mijares, achieved two first places and a third place in the three races held.

These results allowed it to rise from the tenth position, which it trailed from previous days, to third place in the standings, also making it clear that it is a team to be taken into account by the rest of the rivals in the Monte Real Club de Yates league. .

And it is that this 38-year-old from A Coruña, a regular in the Finn class, with 11 Spanish cups, 4 national titles, a gold in the 2022 European Championship, and a bronze in the 2023 World Cup, has begun to take hold of him. the trick also to the J80, and already looks ahead to the World Cup that will be held in Baiona next September.

Fernández Vasco will attend the World Cup event with his crew of junior boys and girls from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña, and this J80 League is serving them all as training to get to the championship in the best possible shape.

This third round of the 8-meter one-design group was held in Baiona Bay to avoid the somewhat harsher conditions in the vicinity of Cíes.

Despite everything, the conditions were very good, and the gusty wind from the south that blew throughout the afternoon always remained above 12 knots, with an average of 14, even reaching 20 per moment.

Five boats were the ones that stood out above the rest of the fleet on this day: Fibra Coruña by Miguel Fernández Vasco, Solventis by Malalo Bermúdez de Castro and Alberto Moro, Alboroto by Juan Carlos Ameneiro and the Portuguese Marías and 4 Jotas, by Manel Cunha and Joaquim Moreira.

They all tightened the nuts to the maximum and maintained tough confrontations in each of the disputed sleeves, going up and down in positions at times, but always managing to sneak into the Top 5 of the table.

After posting results, the classification varied a lot with respect to how it came from the previous days. Only the first position remained intact, in which the current Spanish champion of the class, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, remains, with 9 points.

Very close to each other although separated from him they pursue him, Solventis from second place with 14 points; Fibra Coruña from third with 15 points and Marías from fourth with 16 points. The fifth position is for Andrés Gómez’s Waikiki, with 22 points.

· The J80 fleet that has been competing in Baiona in the Baitra J80 Winter League since last February hopes to be able to play the third day this Saturday

· After a first stage in which only one test could be held and a second stage suspended due to lack of wind, the J80s are eager to race

· Everything indicates that the weather will favor them this weekend and they will be able to continue scoring in the tests scheduled from three in the afternoon

The Galician J80 fleet hopes to be able to play, this Saturday, the third day of the Baitra J80 Winter League, which since it began last February, has barely been able to hold one of the six scheduled tests.

The whims of the wind, which in the initial two days did not blow with sufficient intensity, prevented the J80 from scoring beyond a single task held in the opening stage. It was won by Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, and it served the current Spanish champion of the class to place himself at the top of the table, where he has remained ever since.

The second day was completely blank, without wind, without tests and without new points in the table. And this is how it will arrive, this Saturday, at the third of the six phases that make up this 2023 winter league of the Monte Real Club de Yates.

A competition that is disputed by a total of 26 monotypes, the highest number of entries since the League has been held. And it is that the proximity of the J80 World Cup to be held in Baiona next September, has encouraged Galician shipowners and sailors to participate in these previous trophies, which serve as training for the World Cup event.

For this Saturday, the parties are more positive. They announce winds from the south that will blow with an average of about 12 knots and peaks that could approach or even exceed 20 knots.

After the first position of the table, which is occupied by the Rampage of Juan Carlos Ameneiro, Juan Lago, Javier Lago and Javier Aguado; In second and third position, the Maija, by Castor Alonso; and the Miudo, by Marga Cameselle.

The J80 Winter League of the Monte Real Club de Yates is celebrated, one more year, thanks to the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales.

 

 

· The Galician J80 fleet will face each other again in Baiona after a lackluster first day in which only one test could be held

· Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto leads the classification followed by Castor Alonso’s Maija and Marga Cameselle’s Miudo

· The Portuguese Marías de Manel Cunha will try to get back on the provisional podium after having lost third position due to a penalty

The Galician J80 fleet that is taking part in the Baitra Winter League returns to the water this Saturday for the second round of a competition in which 26 sailboats from different parts of the community and also from the north of Portugal participate.

After a first day tarnished by the wind, in which only one test could be held, the crews aspire to be able to complete several more tasks and begin to move a classification led by Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, which this Friday will receive at the Gala de la Vela Gallega the award for Best J80 of the year after his victory in the 2022 Spanish Championship.

They are followed in the ranking by Maija de Castor Alonso, a regular in this type of league organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates, and Miudo headed by the board of directors of the Baionese club Marga Cameselle, which made its debut in the competition a fortnight ago with a very good performance.

The Portuguese Marías, led by Manel Cunha, will try to get back on the provisional podium after having fallen from third to fifth position due to a penalty, for not showing up for the weigh-in control that the committee carried out once the first test was over.

For their part, the members of the committee aspire to be able to put into play the trapezoid-shaped routes that they failed to design on the opening day, in which the wind was not strong enough for this type of route.

For this second round, which will begin at two in the afternoon in the Vigo estuary, the weather forecasts announce a lot of clouds, some rain and neither the direction nor the intensity with which the wind will blow has yet to be clearly defined.

· The crew led by Juan Carlos Ameneiro and current Spanish champion of the class finished first in the opening of the J80 winter championship

· The increase in sailboats in the competition, the continuous improvements of the fleet and the incorporation of outstanding sailors increased the excitement on the water

· The wind was the one that least wanted it this Saturday in the Vigo estuary since it was very shifty and the few times it struck it blew with little intensity

El Alboroto was the leader this Saturday of the Baitra J80 Winter League, which premiered in the Vigo estuary with the participation of 26 armed sailboats manned by sailors from numerous points in Galicia, Asturias, Madrid and Portugal.

The team, led by Juan Carlos Ameneiro and current champion of Spain in the class, was victorious in the only test that could be held on a day of regattas marred by the wind, which was very shifty and the few times it started, it blew with little intensity.

It did not allow the regatta committee to put into play the three tests it had planned, nor did it set up a trapezoid-shaped field, which was one of the objectives of the day to offer the fleet the possibility of training the type of route to which, Predictably, they will face each other in the World Cup in September.

The sports director of the Monte Real Club de Yates, Roy Alonso, explained at the end of the regatta day that “To ride this type of layout, the wind needs to be level and this day it was not achieved. Need Alonso said. that the wind is stable in much more area than what is needed for the poles, and that is why on this day, with these conditions, we opted for this model. But the objective is still to find that trapeze so that they can train for the world championship ”.

In the only race held in the Carallones area, Maija, Alboroto and Marías were the three outstanding boats, and not only for finishing on the provisional podium, but for their great performance during the race. El Maija, with Castor Alonso at the controls, made a very good start and kept up the fight until the end, although first place escaped him at the hands of Alboroto.

Those of Ameneiro, despite not starting in such a good position, were able to come back along the route and cross the finish line, leaving the rest of the fleet behind them, with which they will arrive at the head of the classification to the next day, scheduled for the 25th.

Another of the teams that staged a great comeback was the Portuguese Marías, led by Manel Cunha. The Portuguese crew saw almost a third of the fleet pass ahead during the first part of the tour, but in the second part they reminded the rest why they are one of the contenders for the title, passing almost all of them and finishing the test in third position.

The problem came to Marías when, once on land, the committee proceeded to weigh-in the crews and the team did not show up, with which the boat was penalized with two points, falling from third to fifth position.

And the Miudo rose from fourth to third place, in which two great sailors in Galicia made their debut in the league, Marga Cameselle and Víctor Mariño. Despite not being regulars in J80 competitions, both proved their worth and warned that they will fight in the coming days.

Before sending the fleet back to land and putting an end to the day, the race committee tried to start a second test but the wind did its thing again, with which the classification of the opening day was closed with a single score.

The Monte Real Club de Yates opens its 2023 sports calendar this Saturday with the Baitra J80 Winter League that will be held in 6 days until next May thanks to the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales

The Galician J80 fleet opens with this competition a year of racing that will be the protagonist with the celebration of the World Class Championship next September in Baiona

Among the novelties of this year: new schedules, new routes to train for the World Cup and the incorporation of prominent sailors such as Víctor Mariño, Alberto Viejo or Marga Cameselle, among others.

The one-design league is the first event in a sports calendar in which Monte Real once again includes its two great classics, the Prince of Asturias Trophy and the Conde de Gondomar Trophy

The Monte Real Club de Yates opens its 2023 sports calendar this Saturday in Baiona with the celebration of the first day of the Baitra J80 Winter League, which will be played in 6 stages until next May thanks to the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales .

In addition to this Saturday, there will be tests on February 25, March 11, 25 and 26 and May 27. Three regattas per day are scheduled, so that, if conditions permit and everything goes according to plan, the one-design fleet will compete in a total of 18 sleeves.

This year, the competition, which includes prominent sailors such as Víctor Mariño, Alberto Viejo or Marga Cameselle, among others; includes a couple of new features. The first is that the start time of the different phases is brought forward, which goes from three in the afternoon to two, with the aim of being able to take more advantage of the daylight time and not have the deadline time for the end of the tests, set to one hour before sunset.

The second novelty is that the usual double routes between buoys of the windward-leeward type are changed to layouts in the shape of an Olympic trapeze, a layout that will possibly be chosen for the world championships in September. What is sought with this change is that the fleet, which already knows the regatta field and the conditions of the Galician estuaries well, can now also get used to the type of World Cup route.

And it is that one of the aspirations of Monte Real as the organizing club of the world championship is that one of the more than 25 sailboats that will participate in the J80 winter league manages to sneak into the podium of the World Cup event, scheduled between the 18th and 24th of September.

Until then, many months ahead in which to train, not only in this competition but also in the rest of the trophies scheduled by the Bayonés club for this 2023, among which are its two great classics, the Conde de Gondomar Trophy (from July 22 to 25) and the Prince of Asturias Trophy (September 1 to 3), in which the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will be presented again (September 2).

Before them will come the CdeC Trophy (April 22), the Repsol Trophy (April 29 – May 1), the Galician A Dos Championship – MRW Trophy (June 10) and then the J80 Autumn League (October 14 – December 16). There will also be room for non-competitive regattas, such as the III Ruta Rías Baixas (July 3-8), which was so well received in its first two calls.
