The Monte Real Yacht Club will fill 2022 with competition, fun and spectacle

 

· The club from Baiona is preparing to launch a sports season with competition, fun and entertainment as the main ingredients

· The arrival next May in Baiona of the prestigious 52 SUPER SERIES will undoubtedly be the nautical event of the year in Galicia

· Monte Real will also organize the J80 Spanish Championship and the Galician Two-Handed Championship in 2022

· The club’s four classics also return: the Príncipe de Asturias Trophy, the Conde de Gondomar Trophy, the Repsol Trophy and the Comunica Trophy

The Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona is finalizing the details to start, in just a few days, its 2022 sports season, in which competition, fun and entertainment will be the main ingredients.

The most outstanding event on its calendar is, without a doubt, the celebration, next May, of the prestigious 52 SUPER SERIES , one of the most important nautical events in the world, considered the “Formula 1 of the sea” . From May 23 to 28, between 10 and 12 teams of more than 8 nationalities with sailors from 5 continents will compete in the Rías Baixas aboard unique boats with the most cutting-edge technology.

Another of the events that will focus the attention of sailing lovers in Galicia will be the Spanish Championship of the J80 class , which will be held in Baiona from September 15 to 18. The most important event of the 8 meters at a national level returns to Baiona four years after having been organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates, which owns the most important fleet of these monotypes in the northwest of the peninsula.

The club chaired by José Luis Álvarez also repeats, in this case for the eleventh consecutive year, in the organization of the Galician A Two Championship , which on June 11 will bring together some of the most intrepid sailors in the community to prove their worth with crews reduced to the maximum.

In 2022, the club’s four great classics will also return: the Prince of Asturias Trophy , which will once again include the delivery of the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards ; the Conde de Gondomar Trophy , with the legendary climb of almost 100 miles to Carrumeiro Chico; the Repsol Trophy , during the first weekend of May; and the Comunica Trophy , at the end of April.

The MRCYB sports calendar for 2022 includes 12 major events – Photo Lalo R Villar

There will also be 11 exclusive competition days for the J80, which will be divided into two leagues: the Baitra Winter League , from January to April; and the Fall League , from October to December.

After the successful participation of the previous edition, Monte Real will repeat the Route through the Rías Baixas , a non-competitive journey destined to travel the Camino de Santiago by sea and win the Jubilee. And this year, as a novelty, Monte Real will also organize a Laser class qualifier.

It will clearly be an intense year for the club from Baiona, in which, in addition to competition, fun and spectacle, there will also be a place for solidarity and social responsibility actions, most of them promoted through its School Sailing Adapted .

Monte Real will reaffirm, once again, its social commitment to people with disabilities, offering, throughout the year, courses and activities aimed at promoting their inclusion and allowing them to navigate under equal conditions. Since it was launched a decade ago, this section of the club has only grown, and what was initially limited to people with different disabilities (physical, sensory, intellectual or mental) has been extended to people elderly, children in care, children with behavior problems and women victims of gender violence.

The commitment to women will be another of the axes of the 2022 season of Monte Real, with various proposals to promote their participation in competitions and events. In addition, the club will once again organize the Final of the National Women’s Sailing League , which will be held next fall.

Light sailing and cruising courses within the framework of the MRCYB Sailing School , coaching and team building activities for groups and companies, and talks and clinics for sailors are other proposals offered by the Monte Real Yacht Club in what will be its first year as a member of the International Council of Yacht Clubs (ICOYC) , of which it has been a member since last December along with the 44 most prestigious clubs in the world.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

 

Dear friends and friends:

A few days before the end of the year, I wish to send you, on behalf of the Board of Directors and all the workers of the Club, our best wishes for this Christmas and the coming Year 2022.

As you all know, it has been a better year, but not without difficulties due to the pandemic situation. A year that has allowed us, once again, to continue with our sports programs and carry out our most emblematic regattas. Unfortunately it has not been possible to recover social events, because health protocols have not allowed it.

I would like to thank once again all those who have made it possible for Monte Real to continue to be a benchmark for their good work. Of this we can feel proud.

To the sponsors, both institutional and private. To the sailors, they are always ready to compete. To the students of our sailing schools for their interest in getting to know and delving deeper into our sport. To the media that, with their help, make it possible for the sport of sailing to reach society in general.

Our memory, too, for those who have left us, and for the families who have lived through a year of difficulties and uncertainties, our most sincere affection.

Thank you all and Happy Holidays,

Jose Luis Alvarez

President of the MRCYB

· The Okofen of Javier de la Gándara from Vigo tried to revalidate the title achieved in the previous edition but finally had to settle for silver

· Completed the winners’ podium of the one-design championship organized by the MRCYB el Cansino led by the young woman from Vigo Alejandra Suárez

· With the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, the Monte Real Club de Yates puts an end to a regatta season that included a total of 11 trophies

 

This Saturday, the Marías became the winner of the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, the one-design championship that had been held in the waters of Baiona since last October under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

Especially significant for the Portuguese team was having beaten its most direct rival, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, from Vigo, who had come ready to revalidate the victory achieved in the previous edition of the Autumn League, but who finally had to settle for the competition silver.

“Having beaten Javier, who for us is an idol, and from whom we have also learned a lot, is a milestone,” said Manel Cunha, crew leader, at the end of the competition. “Our goal is to continue preparing for the World Class to be held in Baiona in 2023 and this victory encourages us and drives us to continue training and improving” .

The Marías and the Okofen, which alternated the provisional podiums during the five days that the competition lasted, finished first and second with 8 and 9 points, a minimal separation of just one point that demonstrates the great quality of both crews, who fought until the end to hang the laurels.

The bronze of the championship went to the Cansino, another of the boats that knew how to maintain itself throughout the league in the positions of honor thanks to the balance that involved the good work of the young Alejandra Suárez from Vigo and the boards and experience of Nano Yáñez and Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui.

El Cansino came third in the standings and on the last day consolidated that position with 22 points, 16 points above fourth-placed Luis de Mira’s Namasté (38 points). Fifth place went to Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, with 41 points.

Marías, Okofen, Cansino, Namasté and Mondo finally made up the TOP 5 of a competition that experienced very complicated days due to the weather, with suspensions, postponements, shortenings, waiting times, route changes, calls to the general classification, protests… there were everything from the beginning and the end was no different.

In the last stage, held this Saturday, only one of the three tests on the program could be held. A second was started, but could not be completed due to a drop in the wind. The winner of the sleeve was Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Fuss.

The AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League ended with a fraternization dinner organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates for all the crews. Previously, the award ceremony for the winners was held, in which the General Secretary for Sports of the Xunta de Galicia, José Ramón Lete Lasa, participated; the deputy mayor of Baiona, Óscar Martínez; the president of the MRCYB, José Luis Álvarez and the directors of AEDAS Homes Pablo Rodríguez-Losada and Pablo de la Torre.

With the closing of the one-design championship, Monte Real put an end to its 2021 sports calendar, which included the celebration of the traditional Prince of Asturias, Count of Gondomar, Repsol and Comunica Trophies, a new edition of the National Awards for Sailing, the Autumn and Winter Leagues, the Galician Two-Handed Championship, the Spanish Optimist Championship and the Final of the National Women’s Sailing League. This year the club also organized the Ruta Rías Baixas, to complete the Camino de Santiago by sea; and suffered the postponement due to COVID19 of the 52 SUPER SERIES, which will finally arrive in Baiona in 2022.

The J80 fleet that has been competing in the AEDAS Homes Autumn League since last October will compete this weekend in Baiona for the title of champion of the one-design competition organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club.

Starting at three in the afternoon, the twenty J80s that aspire to the final victory will compete in the last tests that will take place in the bay of Baiona. If the wind allows it, forecasts will be played in the program and a discard will come into play that will allow the crews to eliminate their worst result from the classification.

Despite this possibility, and barring any last-minute surprises, victory will be debated between Manel Cunha’s Marías and Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen. The Portuguese and Vigo have alternated the provisional podiums in the different days held so far and lead the table separated by just two points. They also have a wide margin of 13 and 11 points respectively over Alejandra Suárez’s Cansino, who is third.

The weather forecasts for this weekend are good and everything indicates that the regattas will be able to take place and that the sailboats will be able to navigate comfortably. Light winds are announced that will blow from the south component with the possibility of turning to the east as the afternoon progresses.

Once the water tests are over, the crews will meet on land to applaud the winners at the awards ceremony and to share a fellowship dinner and end of the event at the Monte Real facilities. Both events will be attended by different managers from AEDAS Homes, sponsor of the league.

The Monte Real Yacht Club joins the best yacht clubs in the world

 

· The historic club from Baiona has become part of the exclusive International Council of Yacht Clubs (ICOYC), the association that brings together the 44 clubs -now 45- most prestigious in the world

· The social responsibility activities that the MRCYB promotes through its Adapted Sailing School and the maritime route created to complete the Camino de Santiago by sea were two of the most valued aspects for its inclusion.

· Entering the ICOYC was an old aspiration of Monte Real to have its own voice in one of the most important nautical forums in the world where experiences about the world of sailing are debated and shared

The historic Monte Real Club de Yachts de Baiona joins the best yacht clubs in the world after being included in the exclusive International Council of Yacht Clubs (ICOYC), the association that brings together 44 clubs (now 45 with the MRCYB) most prestigious in the world.

The social responsibility activities that the Baiona club promotes through its Adapted Sailing School for people with functional diversity, children with behavioral problems, the elderly or women victims of sexist violence were one of the most valued aspects for their inclusion in the ICOYC.

The member clubs were also attracted by the maritime route that Monte Real organizes to complete the Camino de Santiago by sea, a route that can generate important tourist-sports synergies with other clubs in northern Europe attracted by the Jacobean route.

Joining this prestigious nautical entity was an old aspiration of the club directed by José Luis Álvarez, who was always interested in having his own voice in the best forums worldwide. “The incorporation of Monte Real to the ICOYC is not only -says Álvarez- good news for the club but also for all of Galicia, because we will echo everything that is done here and may be interesting for the rest of the world” . “We will be the transmitters -concludes the president of Monte Real- of culture, sports, gastronomy and the good work of the Galician people” .

The International Council of Yacht Clubs is an association created to promote sailing and improve the organization of nautical activities and events worldwide. It includes, among others, prestigious clubs such as the San Diego Yacht Club (USA), the Clube Naval de Cascais (Portugal), the Yacht Club de Monaco, the Societe Nautique de Marseille (France), the Royal Yhames Yacht Club (London), the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (New Zealand), the Royal Natal Yacht Club (South Africa) or the Royal Canadian Yacht Club (Canada).

In the list of member clubs there are two Spanish clubs: the Real Club Náutico de Palma and the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, which last October was in charge of organizing the ICOYC 2021 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE, in which Monte Real participated as speaker from the club’s commodore, Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui.

It was precisely the presentation made at that event that gave the final impetus for the ICOYC to accept the inclusion of the Baiona club among its members. “This arrives -says Otaegui- in a very important year for the club, at the gates of hosting the 52 SUPER SERIES and the World Championship of the J80 class ”. For the commodore of Monte Real “sharing experiences with these prestigious clubs, which also have a great commitment to sport and major sporting events, will be a great boost to continue working and bringing the best sailing to Galicia” .

In the letter in which the International Council of Yacht Clubs announces its inclusion in the association to Monte Real, the president of the ICOYC, David Mead, highlights the synergies and opportunities that can be created with the inclusion of such an outstanding club as the MRCYB .

Galicia will be in charge of opening the 52 SUPER SERIES circuit season in 2022 with the “Baiona Sailing Week”. After suffering the cancellation of the event in 2021 due to COVID19, the Monte Real Club de Yates already has a date to host, next year, the most important one-design circuit in the world.From May 23 to 28, coinciding with the celebration of the Xacobeo Year, the so-called “Formula 1 of the sea” , in which between 10 and 12 teams of more than 8 nationalities compete with sailors from the 5 continents aboard boats with cutting-edge technology.

In the first two days, the crews will compete in training regattas in the area set aside for the competition, a place very close to the Atlantic Islands National Park, just in front of the Cíes Islands. In the program for the third day there is a training session in a regatta that is already official, although not scoring; and the last dates are reserved for the competition itself, with the regattas that will define the final classification from which the winners will emerge.

With high performance and great international prestige, the 52 SUPER SERIES are one of the three most important nautical events in the world, along with the America’s Cup and the World Sailing Tour. In 2022 they will launch tests in 5 ports on the planet: Baiona, Cascais, Puerto Portals, Scarlino and Barcelona.

Only the organization of the event moves about 500 people, up to 12 megayachts and support boats. A logistics that, along with flight reservations, accommodation and restaurants; service companies and teams; they represent an expense that reaches more than 3 million euros, of which about two million stay in local companies and services in the place where they compete.

From the Monte Real Club de Yates they speak of a historic milestone for the club, Baiona, the Rías Baixas and Galicia in general, not only for entering the international circuit of high competition, but also for the world projection that it will mean for the community, both sports and tourism.

“It is about -says the president of the MRCYB, José Luis Álvarez- of one of the most important events in the world and we are very proud to have managed to bring it to Galicia. For several days we will be the focus of international attention and that will have a very positive impact on the club and on everything around us. People from all over the world will see the spectacular nature of Baiona and Rías Baixas, they will discover everything that Galicia can offer them in terms of tourism, gastronomy, culture and sports”.

And it is that the extensive media coverage of the 52 SUPER SERIES, both nationally and internationally, reaches figures that, according to data from the organization, are around one billion impacts in different media, with more than one million views in the live broadcasts of the competition and close to 10 million impressions on social networks.

For the president of the historic club in Baiona, the “Baiona Sailing Week” will also allow “tourism to be adjusted seasonally, give a boost to the economy, and create a hobby and youth pool in the world of sailing” . It is, in short, Álvarez concludes, “an event that will go down in the history of Galicia and in one as special as the Xacobeo Holy Year” .

In addition to hosting the different sporting events, the Monte Real Club de Yates will organize multiple social events, such as meetings with the sailors, visits to the participating boats, conferences and talks about the competition or parties with the crews.

Special SAILING IN FEMALE

Despite the progress that has been made in recent years to achieve equality, the women-sea binomial continues to need support and encouragement to continue making its way, and that is something that will only be achieved with everyone’s commitment to promoting sport egalitarian.

In this sense, the Monte Real Yacht Club launched a series of initiatives throughout this year aimed at increasing the presence of women in the world of sailing and promoting their participation in competitions and activities in which the male presence continues to be the majority.

We tell you all about them in a special newsletter, which you can read here :

https://mailchi.mp/d9893df03caf/el-paol-del-monte-real-xc-especial-vela-en-femenino

One of the current and future challenges of the MRCYB is to continue helping women to have a greater role in nautical sports, so that they can navigate under equal conditions, because the sea does not understand gender.

Weekend of regattas in Baiona with the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League

 

· This Saturday the second day of the one-design championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates will be held in Baiona

This Saturday the regattas return to Baiona thanks to the AEDAS Homes J80 Autumn League, which will live its second day starting at three in the afternoon in the waters of the bay. The Galician fleet of 8 meter monodesigns will face, if the weather permits, three new tests that will continue to define the classification of the championship organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates.

With three victories in the three races played on the first day, Javier de la Gándara placed his Okofen, with 3 points, at the top of the provisional classification. With 7 points, he is followed, in second position, by the young Portuguese Manel Cunha’s Marías, another of the prominent names among the J80 fleet and one of those who will give the most trouble, for sure, to achieve the final victory.

Closing the provisional podium in third position, with 12 points, we find El Cansino skippered by Alejandra Suárez, one of the women who is giving the most impetus to the women’s section of the J80 fleet, since just a few days ago she managed, also on board of an 8 meters, the silver medal in the final of the National Women’s Sailing League.

Except for last minute changes, the forecast for the sailing day is quite good. Winds from the southwest of between 9 and 10 knots with peaks of up to 12 are expected, which initially should allow the three scheduled races to be held.

They will be, as usual, windward leeward double lap courses and, if they are completed successfully, the participants will have the option of discarding their worst result, which could leave surprises in the classification.

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 ICOYC (International Council of Yacht Clubs) is an association that brings together the 44 main yacht clubs in the world with the aim of promoting sailing and improving the organization of activities and events.

It includes, among others, the San Diego Yacht Club (USA), the Clube Naval de Cascais (Portugal), the Yacht Club de Monaco, the Societe Nautique de Marseille (France), the Royal Yhames Yacht Club (London), the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (New Zealand), the Royal Natal Yacht Club (South Africa) or the Royal Canadian Yacht Club (Canada).

In the list of member clubs there are two Spanish clubs: the Real Club Náutico de Palma and the Real Club Náutico de Barcelona. It was precisely the latter who was in charge of organizing the ICOYC 2021 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE.

The final of the National Women’s Sailing League, on standby at the expense of the wind

 

· The intense fog and a practically non-existent wind left blank the first day of tests of the final of the national circuit that takes place this weekend in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates

· The classification led by the Dorsia Covirán of the Marina Burriananova (Valencia) is maintained at the expense of the weather allowing the regattas scheduled for this Sunday to be held

In order for the competition sponsored by Grupo Isonor to be considered valid, at least two of the three scheduled races must be completed.

The intense fog and the practically non-existent wind that were registered this Saturday in Baiona left in stand by the final of the National Women’s Sailing League that the Monte Real Club de Yates organizes by delegation of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation and with the sponsorship of the Isonor Group.

Although the weather forecast announced a very complicated day, the regatta committee kept their hopes of being able to contest at least one race until the end, something that was not possible in the end. The crews arriving from different parts of Spain could not go out on the water at the scheduled time and the postponement on land was maintained from noon, the time at which the first departure was scheduled, until the afternoon.

The clock was approaching four in the afternoon when, seeing that the situation was improving somewhat, the postponement was lowered and the fleet began to go out on the water. The intense fog that prevented racing early in the morning due to lack of visibility disappeared almost completely, but with it also the northwest wind, about 7 knots, which was the maximum recorded throughout the day.

After more than an hour with the boats floating, with conditions that were not ideal and without foreseeing major changes before the deadline, it was decided to cancel the day. The crews returned to land and the sailors were able to enjoy a dinner offered by the Monte Real Yacht Club to all the participants.

Thus, the classification led by the Dorsia Covirán of the Marina Burriananova (Valencia), is maintained at the expense of the regattas scheduled for this Sunday being held. In order for the competition to be considered valid, at least two of the three scheduled races must be completed.

The 2021 National Women’s Sailing League is decided this weekend in Galicia

 

 

· The Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona organizes, by delegation of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation and with the sponsorship of the Isonor Group, the final of the state circuit that will elevate the best J80 women’s team

· The Dorsia Covirán of the Marina Burriananova, made up of Ana Pujol and Nuria Sánchez, leads the classification after winning the previous tests held in May in Bizkaia and in August in Mallorca

· With the official presentation held this Friday and the last training sessions for the crews, Monte Real kicks off the final stretch of the competition that will crown its winners on Sunday

After passing through Bizkaia and Mallorca, this weekend the 2021 National Women’s Sailing League arrives in Galicia, the national circuit promoted by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation that will hold its final tests in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona and with the sponsorship of the Isonor Group.

The competition will elevate the best women’s crews in the country aboard a J80, one of the fastest growing monotypes in Spain for years, with a significant number of units in Galicia, among which the Monte Real fleet stands out.

The winners of the Women’s National League will come out of the joint classification of the II International Women’s Sailing Cup held in May at the Real Club Marítimo del Abra – Real Sporting Club; the 39th Copa del Rey organized by the Real Club Náutico de Palma; and the last tests this weekend in Baiona.

This final stage, officially presented this Friday at the Monte Real Club de Yates, will include two regatta days, on Saturday from noon and on Sunday from eleven in the morning. There are six events scheduled, three per day, and the regatta will be considered valid once two legs are completed. The J80 will have to face windward – leeward type routes, they will compete in fleet format and will score in real time.

The person in charge of sporting events at Monte Real, sailor Marga Cameselle, believes that events such as the National Women’s Sailing League are very necessary to continue promoting women in the world of sailing. “Although it is true that important steps have been taken towards equality -he assured in the official presentation-, the truth is that the effort in this field is still very necessary. And that is why we are here today, betting once again on women”.

Jorge González, CEO of Grupo Isonor at the presentation of the National Women’s Sailing League – Photo Leticia Acero

In similar terms, the sponsor of the event, the general director of the Isonor Group, Jorge González Cuenca, pronounced himself. “For us -said González- The commitment to women is a clear company objective and that is why we have decided to support this competition. We share with this regatta, with sport and particularly with sailing, values of equality, sustainability, self-improvement, success and teamwork; and all of them will be present this weekend in Baiona”.

After its first two stages, the 2021 National Women’s Sailing League is headed by Dorsia Covirán (Marina Burriananova), armed by Ana Pujol and Nuria Sánchez. The sailboat, skippered by Marta Garrido, was the winner in the two previous tests held in Bizkaia and Mallorca, but will be absent from the Galicia regattas due to scheduling problems. “It was our wish to be able to dispute the final in Baiona – says the setter Nuria Sánchez-, but due to team agenda issues we will not be able to attend. It saddens us because it is always especially exciting to compete in Galicia and even more so in a year as good as this one, with so many victories achieved”.

The absence of the current leaders will add emotion to a final of the competition in which the second and third provisional classified will be: the crew of the AGD of the Real Club Náutico de Palma, skippered by Helena Alegre; and that of the Decoexa of the Real Club Náutico de San Sebastián, led by Olatz Muñoz. The Balearic Islands and the Basques are separated by 5 and 8 points respectively from the leadership of the circuit held by the Valencians.

The provisional Top 5 of the 2021 National Women’s Sailing League is completed with the Biobizz Women of María Sánchez, from the Real Club Marítimo de Santander, in fourth position; and the Cosentino Group – Les Roches by Eva González, from the Real Club Marítimo de Marbella, in fifth place.

On Sunday, once all the tests planned in Baiona have finished, the Monte Real Club de Yates will host the awards ceremony for the winners, who will receive a pictorial work created specifically for the occasion by the artist Willy Ramos Castro. It is titled “Get air, fly and triumph” , it is made with mixed techniques of acrylic, oil and natural pigments on wood and symbolizes the symbiosis of women with the sea through sailing.

The official presentation of the event, held this Friday in Baiona, was also attended by the president and vice president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez and Alejandro Retolaza, the mayor of Baiona, Carlos Gómez; and the deputy for Sports of the Pontevedra Provincial Council, Gorka Gómez.

The last two agreed on the importance of continuing to support initiatives that fight for equality between men and women. “From the Pontevedra Provincial Council -assured the deputy Gorka Gómez- For years we have been committed to women, equality and feminism. And we do it with real measures, eliminating the differences in contributions to male and female teams that occurred years ago. These are real measures that we are going to continue to apply.”

The mayor of Baiona, Carlos Gómez, especially thanked Isonor for its support. “It is important that the private company -said the councilor- and the administrations collaborate with events that try to fight against the gender gap and fight for equality between men and women. There is still a long way to go, but together we will work better and the effort and results will be greater”.

The wind, protagonist in the opening day of the 36th Prince of Asturias Trophy

 

The Bay of Baiona inaugurated this Friday the thirty-sixth edition of one of the most anticipated events of the season, and it did so with a very light wind that prevented the categories of Aceites Abril ORC 1, Nacexa ORC 2, and Volvo Autesa ORC 3 from competing. and Martin Miller ORC 4

· There were conditions in the Solventis J80 and Gestilar Ladies Cup race course, which completed their planned program with Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto-Maui Jim and Sara Carmo’s Erizana as the first leaders of the general

· Tomorrow, Saturday, the Gadis ORC 5 and SH Robotics ORC Open divisions will join together and, at the end of the day, the award ceremony for the prestigious Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will take place

Organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club and the Naval Military School with the sponsorship of ABANCA, the Prince of Asturias Trophy opened its thirty-sixth edition this Friday with a first day in which the wind was the main protagonist.

Both the fleet and the committee had a difficult time, especially in the regatta field of the four ORC divisions, and that is that Eolo resisted blowing hard enough to inaugurate the classification of the classes April ORC 1, Nacexa ORC 2, Volvo Autesa ORC 3 and Martin Miller ORC 4 oils . There were conditions in the regatta area for the Solventis J80 and Gestilar Ladies Cup, which were able to complete their test program in the Bay of Baiona, with Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto-Maui Jim and Sara Carmo’s Erizana as first leaders. of the general.

From early in the morning everything seemed to indicate that it would be a long day in the waters of the Rías Baixas. With the first starting honk scheduled at three in the afternoon for all classes, the race committee of the ORC course had to postpone the start of the tests due to the total absence of wind in front of the Cíes Islands. The wait lasted nearly two hours until finally, after half past six in the afternoon, and after the committee made one last attempt by moving the regatta field to the interior of the bay, the day ended without having been able to complete any sleeve.

The teams in the Solventis J80 and Gestilar Ladies Cup categories had more luck in a field located in the Bay of Baiona in front of the Monte Real facilities. There Eolo did comply and the committee was able to complete all the planned tests with a wind of six knots of intensity from the northeast that lasted practically all afternoon.

In the Solventis J80 class, which took part in a total of three races, the first day of the Príncipe de Asturias was more than close with the first four teams in the general standings separated by only five points. El Alboroto – Maui Jim by Juan Carlos Ameneiro (MRCYB) was the best of the day with a second, a sixth and a first that places him with nine points in the first place on the provisional podium.

Behind, double tie in second and third position between Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen (MRCYB), who won the first race of the day, and Miguel Fernández Vasco’s La Galera (RCN A Coruña). Both teams with twelve points and two ahead of fourth place, Etnia Barcelona from Peru Múgica (RCM Santander).

In the Gestilar Ladies Cup , which celebrates its silver jubilee this year, the Erizana of the Olympic sailor Sara Carmo (Marina Burriananova – Som Vela) dominates with a partial victory in the first race and a second place. Two points behind those of Carmo, Ladeira de Carmen Galdós (RCMA – RSC) is in second position with a fourth and a first place while Serralleiras de Eva González (RCM Santander) occupies third place after adding a third and a room in his locker.
