And he did it with superiority, since, with 38 final points, he established a difference of 7 points with his most direct rival. The one who was his coach throughout the year, Samuel Montouto, assures that little Marquina’s final victory is the result of continuous progression based on the great work done by the athlete in recent months. His methodical, controlled and orderly attitude, and his desire to achieve perfection are, according to Montouto, the keys to his good results.

Second and third place in the Social League went to Martín Montes and Pablo’s older brother, Yago Marquina, aged 11 and 13 respectively, who took silver and bronze with 45 and 58 points.

The Monte Real Yacht Club continues to consolidate itself as a benchmark for inclusive sailing in Galicia

The club from Baiona closed this morning its seventh adapted sailing course with the delivery of diplomas to the students who were able to practice sailing throughout the year under equal conditions

· More than 100 people with functional diversity can sail each year at the Monte Real Yacht Club thanks to the sponsorship of Fundación Repsol and the support of administrations such as the Xunta de Galicia and the Pontevedra Provincial Council

· Maintaining its line of growth, the Baiona Adapted Sailing School launched this year for the first time in its history specific activities for people affected by serious behavioral disorders

 

The Monte Real Club de Yates continues to consolidate itself as a benchmark for inclusive sailing in Galicia after celebrating seven years of activity in its Adapted Sailing School, through which more than 100 people with functional diversity pass each year to sail under equal conditions.

The club from Baiona closed this morning the seventh course that it has organized since, in 2012, it inaugurated a project aimed at bringing people with physical, psychosocial, cognitive and sensory disabilities closer to the sea. An initiative that has only grown and that in recent months has taken up a new challenge, that of bringing people affected by serious behavioral disorders closer to the sea.

The Panxón Special Education Center, in Nigrán, thus joined the list of associations that, over the last seven years, have passed through Baiona to offer its users the possibility of being able to enjoy the sea beyond its limitations. Groups such as the CAPD of Redondela , ASEM Galicia or the Juan María Center , which this morning were also present at the closing ceremony held at Monte Real.

The Minister of Social Policy of the Xunta de Galicia, Fabiola García, was in charge of presiding over an event in which she highlighted the work carried out by the Monte Real Yacht Club by taking advantage of the wealth of the sea -she said- to launch activities that promote the full integration of people with disabilities. Along these lines, he claimed that ” in order to make Galicia a community that is increasingly welcoming to everyone, the joint involvement of social entities, companies and public administrations is necessary” . Likewise, the councilor thanked the centers and associations participating in this adapted sailing course and congratulated its users for demonstrating that ” there are no barriers if enthusiasm and desire go ahead” .

In addition to the regional head of Social Policy, other members of the Xunta de Galicia, the Diputación de Pontevedra or the Baiona city council were present at the event, habitual supporters of the Monte Real Yacht Club in its different initiatives. Also several members of Fundación Repsol, the main sponsor of the Adapted Sailing School.

The vice president of the club, Alejandro Retolaza, thanked all of them for having supported the adapted Sailing School since its inception, which has allowed it -he said- “to grow year after year to become the benchmark it is today in Galicia ” . Retolaza extended the gratitude of Monte Real to the monitors and companions of the different associations, to the specialized coaches of the club, to the patrons and other personnel who work in the school.

Students with reduced mobility, autistic spectrum, down syndrome, neurodegenerative or neuromuscular problems are some of the beneficiaries and main recipients of the Monte Real adapted sailing courses, which, since its inauguration seven years ago, includes both theoretical and practical activities.

In addition to the usual classroom sessions and sailing trips on different types of boats, mainly Figaros Beneteau and Gos 16, other types of proposals have been added over the years such as seminars on adapted sailing, sailing on inflatable boats or modernization programs for future participation in competitions.

Numerous improvements that the Monte Real Club de Yates has been introducing in the last seven years in a sailing school that maintains the same mission and the same objective with which it was born: to offer anyone who wishes the possibility of sailing and enjoy the sea in equal conditions.

200 athletes will be able to participate for free in the Solidarity Vertiathlon of Baiona

· The high-quality paper company for domestic use Foxy will collaborate with the Monte Real charity event by paying the registration fees of athletes who want to participate in the event that will be held on September 14

· The Galician Triathlon Federation has just opened the deadline to register for a triathlon that will once again be a sprint (750m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run) and will be limited to the participation of 200 athletes

· This is the fifth year that the Monte Real Club de Yates organizes, with the support of Verti, an event whose main objective is to raise funds so that people with functional diversity can sail under equal conditions

200 athletes will be able to participate for free in the fifth edition of the Solidarity Vertiathlon that will be held next Saturday, September 14, in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates and sponsored by Verti Seguros.

The high-quality paper company for domestic use Foxy will support the event by paying the registration fees of the athletes who want to participate in the event, with which funds will be raised so that people with functional diversity can navigate under equal conditions.

The only thing that the athletes who want to participate will have to do is register before the quota of 200 participants closes, an established limit given the characteristics of the test, which will once again be a sprint, with 750 meters of swimming, 20 kilometers of bicycle and 5 kilometer run.

The Galician Triathlon Federation, which is in charge of the logistics of the event, has just opened the registration period through the Rock the sport platform.

The Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona has just signed Roy Alonso as its new sports director. The former coordinator of the Santander High Performance Specialized Center and technical director of the Royal Galician Sailing Federation and the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation will, from now on, be in charge of the sports management of the Baionese club.

“In Monte Real there is a great dormant potential and it is my intention to awaken it and promote it,” says Alonso.“What I want is to take advantage of the greatness of this historic club to lay the new foundations for a promising future,” says the new sports director of Monte Real, who already works in Baiona.

The lack of wind leaves the Galician Championship of A Dos deserted

 

· After the wind fell a few miles from the finish, none of the boats that participated in the competition could finish it on time

· The sailboats sailed much of the end of the route driven by just one or two knots of wind

Bosch Service Solutions was just a mile short of being the first to cross the finish line when the time limit ran out

The lack of wind left the Galician Two-Handed Championship – Prima Vinia Trophy, organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club and dedicated to its president for more than 40 years, Don Rafael Olmedo, deserted this Saturday.

After falling into a windless hole a few miles from the finish, none of the boats that were competing for the title was able to finish the race within the time limit, so the title of Galician champion of two was left undelivered.

This Saturday’s was, without a doubt, a complicated regatta for the sailboats, not only because of the fact of sailing with reduced crews, but above all because of the wind, which met the forecasts and complicated the test in a good part of the 22 miles of route.

In the first part of the test, heading to Ons, the Costa de la Vela became a fatal point for the boats that chose a course closer to land, where they found a difficult exit hole, which forced the Yess Too to leave.

Luckier were the sailboats that opted for a more outward course, where they were able to pick up the wind and climb up to Camouco, with Iago Carrera and Edu Reguera’s Bosch Service Solutions being the first to turn it around and return.

The return was complicated and long past the island of Onza, with a new well that grouped the fleet and made them sail for more than six miles with between one and two knots of wind, which prevented them from crossing the finish line before the fixed time limit. The one that came closest to crossing it was Bosch Service Solutions, which was less than a mile from the end when its time ran out.

The Galician Solitaire and Two-Handed Championship – Inserimos Trophy – V Rafael Olmedo Memorial ended at the Monte Real Yacht Club with a seafood dinner for the participants. The championship prizes could not be given, which will be repeated on a date yet to be decided.

The event was attended by the president of the organizing club, José Luis Álvarez; the manager of Prima Vinia, Milton Fernández, as sponsor of the event; and the president of the Royal Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde.

After the test, the Monte Real Club de Yates has its sights set on two of its star regattas of the 2019 season, the Conde de Gondomar Trophy, which will be held from July 25 to 28; and the Prince of Asturias Trophy; set for September 6, 7 and 8.

Previously, the club from Baiona will close the seasons of the Adapted Sailing School, with the delivery of diplomas to the students on June 18; and the Dinghy Sailing School, with the celebration of the Baitra Social League Final, on June 22 and 23.
