· The nautical portal of Unidad Editorial has been awarded the Mariano Aguado Prize for Communication at the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards
· Under the coordination of Héctor Atienza and Alberto Mas, it is one of the most complete information platforms on the sport of sailing and the nautical sector that currently exist in Spain
· With an average of around half a million unique monthly readers, Nauta 360 is one of the key references to keep informed of everything that happens in the world of sailing
The Nauta 360 Editorial Unit’s nautical portal has been honored this year with the Mariano Aguado Communication Award from the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards for its great contribution in disseminating the main news produced on the sport of sailing and nautical sector in Spain.
The jury that awards the awards has wanted to recognize the trajectory of Nauta 360 since it released moorings in 2011 under the umbrella of Editorial Unit (El Mundo, Marca and Expansión) to become one of the key references of specialized information in Spain.
Its nearly half a million unique monthly readers, with a percentage of 80-20 national and international, make Nauta 360 one of the platforms with the largest audience of Spanish nautical portals, who access it through the digital portal of Expansion, where it has a fixed section.
At the controls of the portal are Héctor Atienza and Alberto Mas, who focus their work on two lines of information: the most relevant sports news (Copa América, Ocean Race, Vendée Globe, Copa del Rey, Olympic sailing…) and the great news of the nautical market (products, events, shows…), which they address with an editorial philosophy that seeks simplicity and clarity in the story.
Guidelines that have been maintained since the “Náutica” supplement of the newspaper El Mundo was created in 2004, a pioneer in the general media in Spain and the seed of what, after various evolutions, is now Nauta 360.
The journalist Alberto Mas, one of the portal’s coordinators, will be in charge of collecting the award at a gala to be held on September 7 at the Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona.
· The current world champion in the women’s Hansa 303 class adds a new distinction to her extensive sports resume that includes several national, European and world titles
· The 47-year-old Mallorcan has been distinguished as the best sailor of the year after standing on the podium in 2018 of the Spanish Championship, the Spanish Cup, the European Championship and the World Cup
· On September 7, the sportswoman from the Puerto d’Andratx Sailing Club will collect one of the eight Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards that will be presented in Baiona
Majorcan sailor Violeta del Reino, world champion in the women’s Hansa 303 class, adds a new distinction to her extensive resume of sporting successes after being recognized as best sailor of the year by the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards.
The jury that awards the prestigious awards wanted to reward her for the four podiums achieved in 2018, the year in which the gold medal of the Spanish Championship, the Spanish Cup, the European Championship held in Kiel (Germany) and the bronze of the world championship disputed in Sheboygan (USA).
Of Venezuelan origins, parents from Madrid and settled in Mallorca for years, Violeta suffered from an idiopathic cavus foot condition from a young age that later led to scoliosis problems in her back. At the age of 14 he had to undergo a triple arthrodesis, but his functional diversity never prevented him from setting numerous sporting challenges, which he has been facing since he started sailing at the age of 20.
His beginnings in sailing were lived in the Puerto de Andratx Sailing Club, for which he still sails today; and her good work took her to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, in which she achieved an Olympic diploma competing in Skud18 together with Sergi Roig.
In 2017 he achieved his first world championship in the Hansa 303 class, to which he also added gold in the Spanish Cup and silver in the European Championship. In this 2019 he has won the World Cup held in Cádiz, the Spanish Cup and the Spanish Championship. He also achieved third place in the European held in Austria.
The finishing touch to a spectacular season will be on September 7 at eight in the afternoon in Baiona when she collects the Terras Gauda National Sailing Award for the best sailor.

Two of the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will go to the Real Club Náutico de Vigo this year, which the Monte Real Club de Yates will deliver in Baiona on September 7, coinciding with the celebration of the 34th Prince of Asturias Trophy.
One of them, the one that will recognize the best Youth Team of the Year, will be taken by the crew of 420 formed by Martín Wizner from Vigo (Vigo, 2001) and Pedro Ameneiro from Pontevedra (Pontevedra, 2001), after achieving the greatest successes for the Galician youth sailing in 2018.
In the last 8 international competitions in which they participated, the Wizner-Ameneiro tandem won 7 medals: three gold at the 2018 Fremantle (Australia) World Championship, at the 2018 Sesimbra (Portugal) European Championship and at the Vilamoura World Championship (Portugal) 2019; one silver at the European Championships in Athens 2017 and three bronzes at Lago di Garda (Italy) 2017, Newport (USA) 2018 and Vilagarcía 2019. A brilliant record in which only the podium of the youth world championship held in Poland escaped them, in which they were fifth.
After three years of continuous success, the crew announced this summer their separation as a team, but they will still receive one last award before they go their separate ways. In just 12 days, on September 7, the athletes from the Vigo nautical team and the Galician team, awarded scholarships at the Galician Center for High Performance in Pontevedra, will collect in Baiona the award that distinguishes them as the best youth team of the year.
They will share the stage with a fellow club crew, that of the J70 Marnatura, who will collect the award that distinguishes them as Best One Design of the Year for their great sporting career in 2018, the year in which they chained several great successes.
They won the World Cup held in Massachusetts (USA) and the European Championship held in Vigo in the Corinthian division, for non-professional crews; remaining sixth and third respectively in the general classification.
Two titles for a young crew that emerged from the Vigo quarry, put together by the Freire family and trained by Ero Pons; made up of Enrique Freire as tactician, Gerardo Prego and Alberto Basadre as trimmers and Jorge Lorenzo in the bow.
At the helm, leading the team, Luis Bugallo from Vigo who, at 24, is one of the most outstanding names in Galician sailing today, with a background in dinghy sailing, cruisers, one-designs and who has participated in numerous competitions at a national and international level, such as the youth Copa América, in which he competed with Spanish Impulse.
After hearing the news, the young skipper was very pleased with the recognition he wanted to dedicate to the Freire family, without whom, Bugallo assured, the Marnatura project would not be possible. On September 7th they will add a new achievement in their career, that of having won the Terras Gauda National Sailing Award for the monodesign of the year for the achievement of the continental and world titles.
· In the year in which their silver jubilee is celebrated, the crew that placed Galicia on the international sailing map will receive the Terras Gauda National Sailing Award for the best sports project
The Galicia 93 Pescanova will be distinguished for having achieved a podium position in the Whitbread Round the World 93-94 with an entirely Spanish team led by Javier de la Gándara from Vigo
· The Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards will be presented on September 7 at the Monte Real Club de Yates, the place from which 25 years ago the Galicia 93 Pescanova left to make history
The gala of Premios Nacionales de Vela Terras Gauda will pay tribute next September 7 in Baiona to the Galicia 93 Pescanova, the boat that 25 years ago placed the Galician community on the international sailing map after achieving a podium position in the Whitbread Round the World 93-94.
Five decades after that feat, the team led by Javier de la Gándara from Vigo will receive a distinction for the best sports project at the Monte Real Club de Yates, the club that saw him leave Galicia to make history.
This is a new and well-deserved recognition for a major project that marked a before and after for sailing in Spain and for a crew that managed to conquer the seas aboard a WOR60 known as ” the flying fish” .
The boat, designed by Bruce Farr and built at the Armada de Vigo shipyards, brought together 16 sailors, 7 of them Galician, under the command of De la Gándara. Chuny Bermúdez from Coruña, Jaime Arbones, Marcos Iglesias, Juan Zarauza and Ñaco Eraso from Vigo, and Carlos Sampedro from Baiona; Barcelonans Jan Santana, Joan Vila, Nando Muñoz and Guillermo Altadill joined; Pichu Torcida and Toño Piris from Santander; Victor Unzueta from Cadiz, Paco Fernández from Alicante and Santi Portillo from Malaga.
With the encouragement of the Galician Sailing Federation, the institutional support of the Xunta de Galicia through the Xacobeo and the sponsorship of Pescanova, on May 7, 1993, the launching of the ship was held in Vigo, with the Infanta Cristina as godmother. who would participate in the Whitbread Round the World 93-94. Days later, the Galicia 93 Pescanova left the Monte Real Club de Yates for La Rochelle to take part in the Tour of Europe, which it won; and later in the Fastet Race, where they achieved the first victory for Spain in the legendary regatta. They were “training” for his great goal, which was to win the world tour.
On September 25, from Southampton, the starting point of the sixth edition of the race, they began to forge the legend. Until then, Spain had only participated in a trip around the world on 3 occasions (with the Licor 43 in the 81-82 edition, with the Fortuna Lights in 85-86, and with the Fortuna Extra Lights in 89-90), but this was the first time he did it with an entirely Spanish project, with Spanish sponsorships and crew, which would manage to get on the podium.
Ahead, almost 32,000 miles that meant an adventure, or “madness” as many branded it. They finished the first stage in second place, in the second stage they suffered delamination of the ship’s hull, and despite the fact that some gave it all up for lost, they continued. They fell to fourth place in the classification and in the fifth stage they managed to climb to third position, in which they would finally finish the test.
They made history. And the Galicia 93 project will remain forever in the memory of sailing enthusiasts. His impact, both sporting and social, was immense and his tribute, 25 years later, more than deserved. They will receive it in Baiona, on September 7, at the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards gala, which is held within the framework of the 34th Prince of Asturias Trophy organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club and the Military Naval School. They will receive the award for the best sports project.
· The Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards reward the Cantabrian-Galician tandem for being one of the most outstanding crews in Spanish Olympic sailing
· Both currently occupy seventh place in the 49er world ranking and are one of the most promising assets for the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympics
· The Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona will present the awards on September 7 at a special gala that will coincide with the celebration of the 34th Prince of Asturias Trophy
The Cantabrian-Galician tandem formed by Diego Botín and Iago López Marra has just added a new distinction to their great sporting career. The jury that awards the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards has decided to distinguish it with the Best Olympic Team award for being one of the most outstanding crews in Spanish Olympic sailing.
In 2016 both represented Spain in the 49er category of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, although they did not manage to get on the podium; and his team is one of the most promising assets for the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympics, an aspiration they are already working on.
With their sights and efforts focused on the Japanese event, Botín and Marra continue chaining awards and distinctions. One of the most outstanding was achieved in 2018 in Gdynia (Poland), when they climbed to the top of the 49er European podium. It was the second time that they managed to hang the gold from a European after the victory achieved in 2016.
In this 2019 they recorded their names again in the honor roll of the European held in the English city of Weymouth, although they had to settle for the bronze medal.
Santander Diego Botín, 25 years old; and Sonense Iago López Marra, born in Portosín (Galicia) in 1990; They achieved their first medal together in 2012 at the Palamós Christmas Race (Girona), in which they competed together. Two years later, in 2014, they met again and began to dream of the Olympics, a project that, after a year and a half of work, would bear its first fruits in 2016, with their participation in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, in which they were ninth.
Currently, from their seventh place in the 49er world ranking, they train with the national 49er coach Pepe Lis and compete to qualify Spain for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. They will try to make it in the World Cup in New Zealand and if they make it, they will still have to earn to be the ones competing in the games.
Both have been linked to sailing all their lives in different ways. Diego’s ties to sailing come from his father Gonzalo, a prize-winning shipbuilder; and his uncle Marcelino, a prominent naval designer. He started sailing at the age of 7 encouraged by his father and managed to be runner-up in the Optimist Europe, l’Equipe European Champion, and 49er Junior World Champion with Pablo Turrado.
Also from a very young age Iago began to become familiar with sailing, a qualified naval engineer. He did it through the Real Club Náutico de Portosín, where he was born, where he sailed in Optimist, 420, 470 and finally 49er. He did not forget either the great lengths, in which he competed in different crews. He is currently one of the most prominent Galician sailors on the national scene.

The General Secretary for Sport, José Ramón Lete Lasa, has just signed with the president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, José Luis Álvarez, the sponsorship contract by which the Xunta contributes a total of 9,000 euros to the entity for the activities of the Sailing School adapted for people with physical and mental disabilities.
After signing the agreement, both Lete and Álvarez assured that accessibility and inclusion must be priorities in sports practice, and that is why the Xunta and Monte Real join forces to fight for a sport “plural, diverse, without gender or age, for everyone, enriching society, transmitter of values, trainer, equalizer and engine of social change”, assured Lete Lasa.
“To achieve this sport we have to work day by day and join forces with all public administrations, Galician companies and society in general” , said the Galician president.
The General Secretary for Sport of the Xunta de Galicia described Monte Real as “an unbeatable partner” to achieve these objectives since -he recalled- the elimination of a large part of the club’s architectural barriers and the acquisition of adapted boats allowed it to become, in 2014, the only Spanish yacht club to receive a special distinction from the Association of Education Environmental and Consumer (ADEAC) for its work of social integration.
The MRCYB adapted Sailing School works throughout the calendar year and has been working continuously since 2012, being the only entity that carries out a program of these characteristics in the north of Spain.
