Happy 50, Don Felipe

From the Monte Real Club de Yates we want to congratulate King Felipe VI today on his 50th birthday with a very special video, which includes some images of his visits to the club over the years.

Don Felipe has been, since 1986, Honorary President of Monte Real , a position that was granted to him when he was still Prince of Asturias, and that he maintains to this day, being King of Spain.

The Prince of Asturias Trophy was also named in his honour, which began to be held in 1986 coinciding with his presence at the Military Naval School of Marín, where, at that time, he was completing his military training. The now King participated in that edition and was about to take victory aboard the Aifos.

Later it would also participate in the editions of 1987, 1988, 1991 and 2005. In 1998, Don Felipe’s boat won, although he did not participate; and in 1995 and 2010, the monarch returned to the club, although not to compete, but to award prizes to the winners.

The last time he visited us was in 2015, to inaugurate the 50th anniversary commemorative exhibition of the MRCYB.

El Virazón is the leader of the Infinitus Rent Trophy

 

Miguel Lago from Vigo led the Virazón crew to the top of the trophy classification organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club

El Miudo by Francisca Barros and El Cansino by Fernando Yáñez remain on the provisional podium of the competition in second and third position

· Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen achieved the best results in the tests held today but the disqualification on the first day hampered its rise

 

Miguel Lago, from Vigo, led the Virazón crew to the top of the Infinitus Rent Trophy classification, which experienced its second day of testing this Saturday in the bay of Baiona.

Miguel Lago will be, without a doubt, one of the outstanding names of the trophy

With a fourth place and a first place in the two races held this afternoon, Virazón managed to climb, with 15 points, to the position of honor, dropping Miudo and Cansino, who were leaders. The boats skippered by Francisca Barros and Fernando Yáñez are now second and third respectively, with 16 and 20 points.

The very young crew of the Miudo is led by Francisca Barros

In fourth position, with 21 points, we find Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who was, without a doubt, one of the protagonists of the day. In the two heats held with a northerly wind of about 7 knots on average, he finished first and second, but the disqualification he suffered in the first stage hampered his promotion and he was just on the verge of the provisional podium.

Javier de la Gándara haggled one more day with his usual crew

In the middle part of the classification, barely separated by five points, were Guillermo Blanco’s Meltemi and Rosario García’s La Galera, both from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña; the Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, the Pazo de Cea by María Campos and the Namasté by Luis de Mira, who today had J70 sailor Ramón Ojea as a guest on board.

The classification of the Infinitus Rent Trophy is closed by Yago González-Robatto’s Cormorant II, Joaquín Cobelo López’s Marina Real, Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes, Francisco J. Martínez’s SND Cormorant, Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo and Marías-Casas do Roof by Manuel María Cunha.

With the celebration of the second of the six scheduled days, the Infinitus Rent Trophy becomes increasingly exciting, both because of the equality that characterizes the competition of the J80 one-designs, identical to each other and haggling in real time, and because of the intensity that mark crews, always competing at the highest level.

Winter returned to leave a gray day of overcast sky

The next appointment with the Winter League of the Monte Real Yacht Club is on February 10, starting at three in the afternoon, with a program of three windward-leeward regattas, of two laps each.

The countdown begins for the II Baiona Angra Atlantic Race

 

> PRE – ANNOUNCEMENT OF RACE (ES)

> PROVISIONAL NOTICE OF RACE

> ANNONCE PROVISOIRE DE RÉGATE (FR)

 

· The Monte Real Club de Yates (Galicia) and the Angra Iate Clube (Açores) announce the celebration of the second edition of the regatta and open the registration period

· The ocean competition of more than 1,700 miles of route will depart on July 1 from the fishing village of Baiona bound for Angra do Heroismo

· A maximum of 20 boats will be able to compete in a test that in its first edition (2016) was won by the Portuguese Xekmatt of the Lisbon Naval Association

· The sports program of the II Baiona Angra Atlantic Race will also offer a wide social and tourist agenda for the participating crews

 

Two years after the celebration of its first edition, the Baiona Angra Atlantic Race returns, one of the few ocean regattas organized from Spain, born in 2016 by the Monte Real Club de Yates (Galicia) and the Angra Iate Clube (Açores).

Both clubs have just announced today the opening of the registration period to participate in the second edition, which already has a date, and which will depart from Baiona (Galicia – Spain) to Angra do Heroismo (Açores – Portugal) on the 1st of July.

The competition, in which a maximum of 20 boats with a minimum length of 10 meters and a complete crew may participate, will maintain the scheme with which it was born. It will include two stages, round trip, of about 865 miles each.

In total, more than 1,700 miles and quite a challenge for the most adventurous sailors, who will not only have to face their rivals but, above all, face the harsh conditions of the Atlantic, fatigue, tiredness, lack of sleep or the ship’s own conditions, in which they will spend many days in a very small space and without seeing any land around.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting events to be held in 2018, under the organization of one of the most emblematic clubs on the Spanish nautical scene, the Monte Real Club de Yates.

Recognized for having organized several editions of the Lymington-Baiona, several European and World Championships and numerous Match Race regattas, the Baiona club currently stands out for its historic Trofeo Príncipe de Asturias, which it has held uninterruptedly for more than thirty years.

A great sporting and social event for which the registration period is now open

Along with the sports program, one of the great attractions of the Baiona Angra Atlantic Race is its extensive social agenda, which includes the celebration of various events for the enjoyment of the crews.

The sailors will be able to participate in meals, parties, excursions and tourist visits in Galicia and Açores. They will also have free moorings in both Baiona and Angra do Heroismo.

To register for the competition, owners or skippers should contact the Monte Real Club de Yates, writing an email to secretaria@mrcyb.com or calling (+34) 986 385 000.

The registration period, limited to a maximum of 20 boats, will remain open until June 1, with 25 percent discounts on fees for those who register before March 1.

The Portuguese boats stood out in the first edition

The Xekmatt of the Lisbon Naval Association, skippered by José Carlos Prista from Cascal in the initial stage and Hugo Prista in the final, won the first edition of the Baiona Angra Atlantic Race.

The Portuguese also set the record for the Angra do Heroismo-Baiona crossing, after being the fastest to complete it.

Other protagonists of the first edition of Baiona Angra were Cleopatra, also Portuguese, from the Asociación Nautica de Recreio, and Free Spirit, from the Real Club Marítimo de Abra–Real Sporting Club, who won silver and bronze respectively.

Also outstanding was the performance of the Saint Maxime del Monte Real Club de Yates, with Miguel Lago at the helm, awarded as the best boat of the first stage.

Portuguese victory at the premiere of the Infinitus Rent Trophy

 

 

· The Portuguese crew of the Miudo of the We Do Sailing club won the first day of the Infinitus Rent Trophy that was held in Baiona

· El Cansino by Fernándo Yáñez del Monte Real and La Galera by Rosario García from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña were placed in second and third position

· The Monte Real Yacht Club Winter League lived up to its name and offered a typical winter day with leaden skies, cold and rain

 

The Miudo of the We Do Sailing club, skippered by the Portuguese Afonso Leite, scored the first podium of the Infinitus Trophy this Saturday in Baiona after winning on the opening day of the championship organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The Winter League of the Baiona club lived up to its name and presented itself to the J80 fleet with a typical winter day, with leaden skies, cold and rain. Despite the unfavorable conditions, the sailors came out wanting to make their debut in the first regatta of the year, and the committee forced, with considerable difficulty, the celebration of two tasks, in which a very shifty and low-intensity wind prevailed.

With the two courses shortened in the second passage through the windward buoy, the fleet achieved very different results. The first heat was won by Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino, skippered today by the former two-time Galician vaurien champion, Castor Alonso. In the second baton the crew lost some steam and finished fourth, finally falling to second place overall.

The victory of the second round was signed by the Portuguese Miudo, with a victory that, added to the fourth place achieved in the first round, gave them the provisional gold of the championship. The bronze went to the J80 La Galera, skippered by Rosario García, from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña.

Miguel Lago’s Virazón, who returned to the J80 competitions in Baiona after several months racing in the 6m class, is in fourth place and very close to him, just one point away, is Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva .

Completing the Monte Real Winter League classification are the Meltemi by Guillermo Blanco, the Pazo de Cea by María Campos, the Namasté by Luis de Mira and the Marina Real by Joaquin Cobelo. Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who had finished the tests in second position, fell to tenth place after the resolution of a protest against him.

Below him, Yago González-Robatto’s Cormorant II, Francisco J. Martínez’s SND Cormorant, Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo, Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes and Manuel Maria Cunha’s Marías.

The Infinitus Rent Trophy returns to Baiona at the end of the month, with the second day of tests on Saturday, January 25.

The 2018 sailing season loosens moorings with the Infinitus Rent Trophy

 

 

  • The Monte Real Club de Yates inaugurates the regatta season with a six-day championship in which the J80 monotypes will compete exclusively
  • The Infinitus Rent Trophy tests will take place from next weekend until the end of March in the waters of the Bay of Baiona
  • The Monte Real Winter League is the first of the 15 competitions that the club has scheduled in its 2018 sports calendar

The 2018 sailing season loosens its moorings this weekend in Baiona with the celebration of the Infinitus Rent Trophy, the traditional winter league of the Monte Real Club de Yates in which, for yet another year, sailboats of the class will once again compete exclusively J80.

For six days, on January 13 and 27, February 10 and 24, and March 10 and 24, the monotypes will compete, at various points in the bay of Baiona, a series of windward-leeward routes that will be designed by a regatta committee with Fernando Giraldo in front.

Carrying a maximum crew weight of 350 kilos on board, the J80s will sail in a fleet and compete in real time. The fortnightly scores will be added to the final classification from which the winner of the championship will come out.

In the previous edition of the Monte Real Winter League, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen was the winner, haggling with his usual crew, made up of Diego Fernández, Jaime de la Gándara and Hugo Ferreiro; and sentenced the competition with fourteen first places in the sixteen contested races.

Second place went to the Miudo by Storax, a boat with a Portuguese accent through which several crews passed; and the bronze for Miguel Lago’s Virazón, another of the regulars on the podiums of J80 competitions in Galicia.

The J80 Class Winter League of the Monte Real Yacht Club is sponsored this year by Infinitus Rent, a company born from the merger of four technological renting marketing companies in Spain. With more than 7 years of experience in the sector and an annual turnover of around 12 million euros, Infinitus Rent presents itself as an opportunity for investors who want to obtain optimal profitability in the medium term.

At the press conference to present the trophy, held this morning in Baiona, the Business Development Director of Infinitus Rent, Alberto Rodríguez, assured that “The healthy competitiveness that exists in the world of sailing is an example of how to act in the world of sports, and a philosophy -he said- extrapolated to numerous aspects of the company ”. It was these values that, he affirmed, led them to support two of the Monte Real proposals: the J80 Class Winter League and the Solidarity Vertiathlon, with which the club raises funds for its Adapted Sailing School for people with disabilities.

The president and vice president of Monte Real, José Luis Álvarez and Alejandro Retolaza also participated in the presentation; the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal; the territorial secretary of the Xunta de Galicia in Vigo, Yolanda Lesmes; and the president of the Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde.
