Baiona awards the winners of the 38th Prince of Asturias Trophy

· In his first participation in the Príncipe de Asturias, Nuno Neves’ Syone Panther from Portugal took victory both in the ABANCA ORC 1-2 class and in the overall overall, while Francisco Edreira’s Urbapaz revalidated the title and hung the gold in the Aceites Abril ORC 3-4 class

· In the Gadis ORC 5, Volvo Autesa Open 1 and SH Robotic Open 2 classes, the winners were Cinco Islas Albariño, Salseiro and Argalleiro

· The Hotel Princesa Yaiza from the Canary Islands won in the Solventis J80 class, reaffirming itself as one of the favorites for the World Cup; and the Tutatis de Marta Ramada won the Gestilar Ladies Cup

The Prince of Asturias Trophy already has new winners. In a most complicated day due to the absence and instability of the wind, the event organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates and the Escuela Naval Militar with the sponsorship of ABANCA closed this Sunday crowning the winners of its thirty-eighth edition .

The conditions were, without a doubt, the great protagonists of the day. In the Cíes Islands area, where the ORC 1-2, 3-4 and J80 classes competed, and with a southeasterly component wind with hardly any pressure, the Race Committee raised the postponement flag at twelve o’clock on noon, the time at which the last tests were scheduled to begin. As the hours passed, things did not improve and finally at half past three in the afternoon the third and last day of competition came to an end. The Open participants, ORC 5 and the Figaro of the Gestilar Ladies Cup had more luck, who were able to add the last sets to their scoreboard.

The Syone Panther wins the ABANCA ORC class 1-2 in its first participation in the Príncipe

Victory for the Portuguese Syone Panther of Nuno Neves in the ABANCA ORC 1-2 class. In its first participation in the Príncipe de Asturias Trophy, the Lisbon Naval Association boat managed to proclaim itself the winner both in its category and in the ORC absolute general thanks to a great performance on the regatta field, which gave it an advantage of one point over the second classified, the Aceites Abril of the brothers Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo.

This turnaround in the final classification (the Syone Panther rose to first position, making Pérez Canal’s men fall to second) despite not having held any test this Sunday, was motivated by a request submitted by the Portuguese crew for the review of the results by sections of the last regatta of the championship, a test that was finally canceled and whose resolution benefited the Neves team.

In addition to the second position in this class, Aceites Abril took the North Zone Spain Cup for ORC 1-2, which was put into play in the Baionese competition.

Urbapaz was proclaimed winner in the Aceites Abril ORC 3-4 class

In the classification of the Aceites Abril ORC 3-4 class, the victory remained in the hands of Francisco Edreira’s Urbapaz from Club Náutico Cabanas, who thus revalidated the victory obtained in 2022, with a point advantage over the second classified, the Sailway of Ramón Ojea from the Canido Maritime Club. Behind, the review of results that had given third place to Adegas Terrae led by Vicente Cid, favored the team from Club Marítimo Carrumeiro Raygrass III led by José Antonio Núñez, who finally climbed to third place on the podium.

Second coastal race for Open and ORC 5

The three categories that had a coastal one on their program for this Sunday – the Gadis ORC 5, Volvo Autesa Open 1 and SH Robotic Open 2 classes – played a seven-mile course.

In Gadis ORC 5 there were no surprises and the Cinco Islas Albariño of the Club Náutico de Beluso skippered by Iñaki Carbajo won again with full authority, proclaiming himself the winner of the Príncipe de Asturias ahead of Boeiro de Jaime García (RCN Vigo) and Aquilón de Roberto Telle (MRCYB), second and third respectively.

In Volvo Autesa Open 1, the final victory was awarded to Manuel Blanco’s Salseiro (RCN Coruña). They were followed overall by José Alejandro Martínez’s Edge (RCN Rodeira) in second place and Joao Tourigo’s Five (Club We Do Sailing) was third.

There were no changes at the top of the SH Robotic Open 2 general standings and Fernando Otero’s Argalleiro (RCM Aguete) finished at the top of the final standings ahead of Fernando Rey’s Albarellos (MRCYB) and Alberto González’s Villa de Marín -Cela (CNR Marín), second and third respectively.

In this category, as every year thanks to the support of the Department of Social Policy of the Xunta, the boat of the adapted sailing school of Monte Real with the students of the Juan María de Nigrán Center, the Bellatrix, also competed.

Victory for the Canarian Hotel Princesa Yaiza in Solventis J80

More than tight was this thirty-eighth edition of the Prince in the Solventis J80 class with the first three teams separated by a single point. With the last blank day, the Hotel Princesa Yaiza by Rayco Tabarés of the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife became the new champion of the Baionese event this Sunday. A result that reaffirms him as one of the great favorites for the World Cup that will be held on the same regatta course in just two weeks. The second position finally went to the Solintal of Ignacio Camino of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander and third the Coruña Kotablue Fibra Coruña 14/18 of Miguel Fernández (RCN Coruña).

Marta Ramada’s Tutatis wins the Gestilar Ladies Cup

The fleet from Figaros that was playing the twenty-seventh edition of the Gestilar Ladies Cup was also able to compete in the Bay of Baiona regatta course with a light easterly wind that allowed the regatta committee to honk for the last two races of the Prince of Asturias Trophy.

Marta Ramada’s Tutatis, who sails under the Monte Real pennant, took the plunge and won two first places this Sunday, thus making the team the winner of the prestigious women’s event. They also did so with a five point advantage over the second classified, the Erizana sailors from the Real Club Náutico Puerto de Pollensa. Third was Carlota Hernández’s Serralleiras (MRCYB).

The delivery of trophies, final touch

Once the competition was over, the awarding of trophies put the finishing touch to the event. In addition to distributing the awards to the winners of the Prince of Asturias Trophy and the Gestilar Ladies Cup, during the ceremony the Conde de Barcelona Don Juan de Borbón award was presented to the best Portuguese crew in the regatta, which went to the Syone Panther, and a special mention to the students of the adapted sailing school of the Juan María de Nigrán Center.

Baiona bids farewell to the 37th Prince of Asturias Trophy with wind and emotion

 

· Winds of more than 20 knots on average and gusts of almost 30 marked the last round of the star sailing regatta in Galicia

· Xekmatt, Marías, Urbapaz and Deep Blue 2.1 were the winners of the Príncipe de Asturias in the ORC divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4

In ORC 5 and Open, Cinco Islas Albariño and Salseiro were winners, and Silleiro took the laurels of the Gestilar Ladies Cup

· In J80 where the more than 30 participating units represented a record of participation, the GP Bullhound won the gold

The wind wanted to be the protagonist in the final day of the 37th Prince of Asturias Trophy organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates and the Naval School of Marín. The day was not easy for any of the fleets of the eight participating categories and neither for the regatta committees, although the harsh conditions did not prevent the last tests from being held to crown the new winners of the star regatta of Galician sailing.

The passage of a front through the Rías Baixas, which left sustained wind conditions of about twenty knots and points of almost thirty, forced the almost ninety participating teams to give one hundred percent in a final day in which all the leaders on Saturday ended up claiming the definitive victory.

The Monte Real Yacht Club hosted the gala of the National Sailing Awards

Some of the most outstanding athletes on the Spanish nautical scene were honored this Saturday in Baiona at the National Sailing Awards gala, which were delivered at the Monte Real Club de Yates within the framework of the 37th Prince of Asturias Trophy.

In a club decorated for the occasion and in front of a crowd of spectators, José María “Pichu” Torcida, Nuria Sánchez, María Perelló, Marta Cardona, Javier Banderas, Piti Estébanez and Rafael Díaz went up on stage to collect their awards for best sailor , the best project, the best dinghy sailing team and the best boat. The only one who could not attend was the Spaniard Pablo Santurde, winner of the award for best sailor, whose tribute coincided with his wedding day.

Hosted by the Galician Television presenter, Carlos Macía; and the head of communication at Monte Real, Rosana Calvo; The event began with welcoming speeches by the president of the organizing club, José Luis Álvarez; and the president of Bodegas Terras Gauda, José María Fonseca Moretón, sponsor of the national awards. Both agreed to point out the importance of an event that celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and that throughout its history has served to recognize the successes of Spanish sailing.

After the welcome speeches, the winners followed one another on stage to collect their award. The first to do so was José María “Pichu” Torcida from Santander, who received the award for the best sailor for his victories in the Spanish and European J80 Championships. He thanked all those who accompanied him in the world of sailing for so long for the award. “Crew, owners, sponsors, family and especially my wife.” He had a souvenir also for his J70 crew, without which, he said, “This award would not have been possible.” And he ended by congratulating Monte Real for next year’s J80 World Championship and for the work it is doing to promote the J80 fleet.

The Mariano Aguado Communication Award went this year to the program “Atando Cabos” from the production company TacTic Audiovisual, and it was its director, Vicente Robles, who was in charge of collecting it. “After 20 years giving coverage and support to sailing, we thought that this sport did not have a specific program -said Robles- and thus Tying Cabos was born. And almost 200 shows later, what we’ve achieved has been amazing. This National Award is the icing on the cake”.

The next award of the night, for the best female project, was collected by Nuria Sánchez, for her initiative “We want to make history” , a proposal that, for years, has tried to spread and promote the figure of women in the world of sailing. In her speech, the sailor from Alicante said that they will continue working to be messengers of equality. “In these four years we have worked hard, creating and reaping the fruit that we are now. We involve the smallest, we bet on young promises and we also reach out to veterans and legends. And we can only thank all those who bet on us”, said.

With a sporting career spanning a quarter of a century behind them, the people from Malaga at the Teatro Soho Caixabank, led by Javier Banderas, collected the award for best ORC boat after achieving their sixth victory in the Copa del Rey. Accompanied by sports director Piti Estébanez and crew member Rafael Díaz, Banderas thanked Monte Real and Terras Gauda for an award that, he said, is the fruit of long experience. “The secret of our crew is that we have been sailing together for 25 years and it is now that we are reaping the rewards. It is a pride for all of us to collect this prestigious award in Baiona” .

The last prize of the night went to the youngest of the gala, the Majorcan sailors, 17 years old, María Perelló and Marta Cardona. They were distinguished by their gold medals in the World and European 420 class. “Values such as teamwork, the desire to excel, respect, perseverance, overcoming limits, self-discipline or responsibility are some of the values that make sailing for us more than just a sport, which be a whole lifestyle”, assured before concluding that “We have achieved many things this year, but we like to think that the best is yet to come”.

Less lucky were the participants of the Solventis J80 and Gestilar Ladies Cup classes. Although the weather forecasts indicated that it would be a good windy day, Eolo did not get involved in the regatta course located in Cabo Silleiro or inside the bay of Baiona, so after several attempts and with a test already underway, the Regatta Committee was forced to end the day without being able to complete the first scheduled tests.

Alfredo González, crew member of the J80 GP Bullhound and recently proclaimed Snipe world champion in Cascais, explained after returning to land that “Although the wind was very difficult, the Committee did very well and we were able to have a good attempt that helped us to see which boats are going to be ahead. We come here with the aim of getting in tune for the World Cup in Newport, winning or not winning will depend on how we do it, although it is not our main objective now “.

Baiona brings together the best crews in the 37th Prince of Asturias Trophy

 

· In Baiona, everything is ready for the celebration of an event that releases moorings this Friday under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club and the Naval Military School.

· A storm from Greenland is approaching the peninsular northwest and the instability it announces could condition the competition tests

· If the competitive models of previous years are repeated, the opening day will already be one of the most exciting of the trophy with the crews giving their all on the water

Everything is ready in Galicia for the celebration of the 37th Prince of Asturias Trophy, which will cast off in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club and the Naval Military School.

With the weather pending from a storm coming from Greenland, a huge influx of boats that left the club’s pontoons without space and the presence of world and Spanish champions among the crews, this Friday the first tests of the competition will be held.

On the previous day, the closing of registrations left a majority of Galician, Portuguese and Cantabrian boats on the lists, and an Olympic sailor raffling the sailboats for the Ladies Cup.

A storm from Greenland will mark the weather and the tests

Although there are only a few hours left before the start of the competition, and by now the weather forecast is usually clear, no one from the regatta committee has yet dared to give an exact forecast of what is going to happen these three days of the Prince of Asturias Trophy .

A storm from Greenland is approaching the peninsular northwest and a period of instability is expected, although it is not known with certainty when it will reach Galicia. For now, from the organization they trust that the rain will give the sailors a break and the wind, which in principle looks like it will blow from the west, will remain above 9 or 10 knots, with peaks of up to 14.

If it remains boarded and the conditions are favorable, the fleet of the largest boats, grouped in the different ORC classes, will complete two windward-leeward runs, between buoys. Two upwind and two stern in each of the tests will serve to begin to measure forces and release the markers.

In the event that the wind does not pick up and there are difficulties in designing the course, the regatta committee has prepared up to ten different coastal routes, all along the Vigo estuary although with different obligatory passage points.

Intensity and emotion from minute zero

If the competitive models of previous years are repeated, the opening day will not only serve to take the pulse of the regatta fields and will already be one of the most exciting in the trophy. The crews usually arrive in Baiona with a lot of energy and try to demonstrate their power by putting all the meat on the grill from the first tests.

The starting signal will be, on the first day, the latest of the three days. The ORC fleet will hear it at three in the afternoon and half an hour later, at half past three, it will be the turn of the J80 and the girls of the Gestilar Ladies Cup.
Once the tests are over, the well-deserved rest of the fleet in the village located in the club’s gardens will complete the opening day on Friday.

Ahead, the Prince of Asturias Trophy will still have two more days to define the winners’ podiums.

A fleet with a Galician, Portuguese and Cantabrian accent

Galician, Portuguese and Cantabrian, will be, in this order, the accents that will be heard the most in a Prince of Asturias Trophy that, favored by the arrival of boats for the Spanish J80 Championship to be held in Baiona in just a few days, has brought together more than 80 sailboats.

“This year we have achieved a very good number of boats. There was a certain fear about the downward evolution that is being seen in many of the regattas that have been held in recent months in Galicia, but the truth is that the Prince never fails. People want to come to Baiona not only to compete, but also to enjoy with friends”, assures the sports director of Monte Real, Roy Alonso.

The figure of 70 boats that the club established as a participation limit to ensure the comfort of the crews in the club’s space, was finally exceeded and the organization looked for alternatives for the location of the boats. “We have requested the pontoon of the caravel Pinta and placed buoys so that all those who wanted to be here, yes or yes, could be” , says Roy Alonso, who appreciates the understanding of the owners and crew to be in the regatta despite the lack of space.

Among the participating boats, the first to open the competition, this Friday from three o’clock, will be the ORC grouped in the classes ABANCA ORC 1, Volvo Autesa ORC 2, Aceites Abril ORC 3 and Martin Miller ORC 4. Among them we will see, among others, the April Oils and the Magical de Vigo; to the Arroutado de Portosín; the Corsario de Vilagarcía, the Mirfak de Ferrol, the Lambaix de Cabanas, the Sailway de Canido, or the Orión de Baiona, among many others.

There is also a great presence of Portuguese boats, with 12 sailboats in competition and a large number of Portuguese crew members, such as the Yessito by Rui Ramada, the Marías by Manel Cunha, the Xekmatt by Hugo and Joao Prista, the Defender by Nuno Vasconcelos or the Farofino by Edgar Pimenta.

World and Spanish champions in the J80 fleet

With more than 30 registered units, the Solventis J80 class is the most numerous in the trophy and from which a greater spectacle is expected due to the quality of the crews. They will sail inside the bay of Baiona, they will compete in real time and they will compete, if the wind allows it, three double courses of the windward leeward type between buoys.

Among the participants we will see the Etnia Barcelona de Peru Múgica (RCM Santander), current champion of the Prince and defender of the title; the Andalusian GP Bullhound led by Per Roman, who in the last European event of the class was one step away from getting on the podium and who this time has the recent snipe world champion Alfredo González on board; the Spanish runner-up Biobizz, led by José Azqueta (RCM del Abra RSC), or the Cantabrian Solintal, of the former J80 world champion Ignacio Camino.

All of them will have to face each other with a very powerful local fleet, among which the boats of the Monte Real Club de Yates predominate and in which there are two crews that, due to their trajectory and victories in recent seasons, stand out above the rest. They are those of Okofen by Javier de la Gándara and El Alboroto by Juan Carlos Ameneiro.

The women’s 6×6 of the GESTILAR LADIES CUP

The J80 will share the regatta field and direct judging inside the bay of Baiona with the 36 sailors of the Gestilar Ladies Cup, which in its twenty-sixth edition reaffirms itself as the most traditional women’s sailing competition on the Spanish nautical scene.

The six crews competing this year come from Alicante, Mallorca, Baionao, Madrid, the Basque Country and Santander. Six teams of six sailors aboard six identical boats, the Figaro Beneteau that the Monte Real Club de Yates gives them for the competition.

This Thursday, on the previous day, the draw was made for them, and the Olympic sailor Nico Rodríguez, who is also sponsored by Gestilar in his race to the Paris Olympics together with Silvia Más in 470, participated as an innocent hand. mixed.

“The existence of the Gestilar Ladies Cup is one more push that we have to give to promote women’s sailing and equality in the world of sailing. Before, I already saw it like that and now, that I am part of a mixed couple with Silvia, well, much more. Women have great potential and the Ladies Cup is a golden opportunity to make them known so that in the future they can be part of larger or professional projects”Rodriguez assured.

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.
