· The crew made up of José Luis Pérez, Roberto Simón, Miguel Larrán and Javier Pérez won the one-design league organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club

· The regularity of results obtained in the twelve regattas held in the four days of the championship allowed Maija to always stay in the lead and take the final victory

· El Cansino skippered by Fernando Yáñez and Santiago Estévez’s Spaco won silver and bronze

 

The Maija of José Luis Pérez, Roberto Simón, Miguel Larrán and Javier Pérez won this afternoon in Baiona the latest edition of the AXA J80 Autumn League, held since last October in the Bay of Baiona.

The regularity of results that the Monte Real monotype achieved in the twelve races held over four days allowed it to always stay in the top positions and take the final victory.

They started seconds behind Namasté after the first round, but once they got to the top spot, there was no crew capable of bringing them down from the top. They achieved the leadership on the second day, revalidated it on the third and reached the final with clear aspirations to the title.

This Saturday they also came out convinced, and their rivals could do little to snatch the announced victory from them. The Maija maintained the regularity for which it was characterized throughout the league and signed two third and fourth in the sets.

He finished the league with 22 points, 11 behind Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino who, with 33 points, finished second. The bronze medal in the competition, with 36 points, went to Santiago Estévez’s Spaco .

The New Moon by Juan Luis Tuero and the Namasté by Luis de Mira were fourth and fifth respectively, with 39 and 42 points; and completed the classification Pazo de Cea de María Campos, who today won the third test held; the Miúdo by Nico Domínguez, with a crew of students from the MRCYB Sailing School; the Jaime Barreiro’s Petrilla , who with Javier de la Gándara on board was able to secure first place today in one task; the Mondo by Bernardo Macedo; the SND Cormorant by Francisco Martínez; the Ferralemes by Jaime García and the Oh Carmela by Juan Martínez Pazó.

Once the competition in the water was over, the Monte Real Club de Yates, organizer of the championship, hosted the awards ceremony for the winners. The winners of the last edition of the one-design league received their trophies at a dinner attended by the entire fleet, members of the club’s board of directors and representatives of AXA, sponsor of the championship.

Putting an end to the Autumn League, Monte Real closes the 2019 sports season, in which it organized a total of 11 competitions, two of them special and exclusive for the J80 class. In 2020, the monotypes will once again have a special role, with their participation in the Winter League starting next January being the ones in charge of inaugurating the calendar.

FINAL CLASSIFICATION LEAGUE AUTUMN AXA J80

 

· This Saturday the fourth and final round of the AXA J80 Autumn League will be held in Baiona to decide its winners

· The crew of the Maija led by José Luis Pérez is the one that reaches the final with the most ballots in hand for the final victory

·Once the last three tests in the water are finished, Monte Real will hold a dinner for the fleet and the delivery of trophies

 

This Saturday the fourth and final round of the AXA J80 Autumn League will be held in Baiona, which has been held since last October in the waters of the Bay of Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Club de Yates and sponsored by AXA Insurance.

At the decisive assault, the Maija crew, led by José Luis Pérez, is the one that arrives with the most ballots in hand to win the final victory. It has been, without a doubt, the most regular J80 in the entire fleet, and its good results have allowed it to finish as leader in two of the three days held so far.

At a distance of 5 points from its most direct rival and with the more than possible entry into play of a discard if the three scheduled tests are held, Maija should not have it very difficult to achieve championship gold.

El Cansino , skippered by Fernando Yáñez, is the J80 that has the best chance of stopping him. It is one of the J80 that has done the best throughout the Monte Real league and another contender for the title.

In the triad of possible winners, we must also fit the Luna Nueva of the Asturian Juan Luis Tuero, who has managed to sign, so far this championship, several victories in the different tests. It is, without a doubt, another of the boats to take into account for the final day.

A little further down the ranking are Luis de Mira’s Namasté and Santiago Estévez’s Spaco . Both have managed to stay in the “Top 5” for several days and their aspiration in these last races will be to sign the best possible results to sneak into the winners’ podium.

The final of the AXA J80 Autumn League will begin, as usual, at three in the afternoon inside the Bay of Baiona. The forecast is to dispute three regattas and, once the competition is over on the water, continue the closing of the league on land, with the celebration of a dinner and the delivery of prizes to the winners.

· The sailboat skippered by José Luis Pérez remains in the lead with one last day left to finish the competition

· Its most direct rivals from second and third position are Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva

· The AXA J80 Autumn League will conclude next Saturday with the celebration of the last tests and the awards ceremony

Maija caresses the victory of the AXA J80 Autumn League after consolidating the first position in the classification with one day to go before the end of the championship.

The sailboat, skippered by José Luis Pérez, signed a new victory this afternoon with a second and two third partials in the three contested races, managing to be, once again, the most regular of the entire J80 fleet.

With 16 points in the provisional general classification, Maija is moving away from its rivals and is approaching the final victory, which will be decided in just one week.

Their most direct rivals, from second and third in the provisional standings, are Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva, who will reach the final with 21 and 28 points respectively.

Although less regular than the Maija, the Yáñez and Tuero crews were once again among the best, each winning one of the disputed races.

They suffered, yes, notable drops in the score of certain tests and that lack of regularity, which today was the dominant trend in practically the entire fleet except in the case of Maija, is what keeps them away from the position of honor.

The AXA J80 Autumn League, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of AXA Seguros, will conclude next Saturday, November 30, with the celebration of the last three races in the bay of Baiona.

It will be, without a doubt, an exciting day since if at least two races of the three planned are held, a new discard will come into play, which could leave surprises in the final classification.

Once the dispute in the water is over, that same day the awards ceremony will also be held for the winners. As has become a tradition, the trophies will be delivered within the framework of a dinner attended by the participating crews, as well as members of the regatta committee, the organization and sponsors.

· The one-design competition organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club celebrates its penultimate day tomorrow, Saturday

· José Luis Pérez’s Maija is the leader followed closely by Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva

On the provisional podium, the top three finishers and contenders for the title are within a margin of just 6 points

The AXA J80 Autumn League organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of AXA Seguros enters its final stretch tomorrow, Saturday, with the celebration of the penultimate day of tests.

Starting at three in the afternoon, the bay of Baiona will host the dispute of three new windward-leeward regattas in which the J80 fleet will try to sign its best results before the imminent end of the competition.

José Luis Pérez’s Maija, one of the most consistent J80s in the evolution of the league, is in the lead, closely followed by Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva. With 8, 10 and 12 points respectively, they make up a tight provisional podium separated by a margin of just 6 points.

In fourth and fifth position, at a greater distance, are Luis de Mira’s Namasté, with 18 points; and the Spaco de Santiago Estévez, with 22.

The penultimate stage of the AXA J80 Autumn League will take place, if the forecasts hold true, on a very cloudy day with a northwesterly wind between 10 and 14 knots, with a tendency to drift towards the west. At the head of the regatta committee, designing the course and controlling the evolution of the tests, will be Fernando Giraldo.

 

· The money raised from the celebration of the Solidarity Vertiathlon of Baiona and the support of the Xunta de Galicia has allowed the Baiona club to expand the number of activities of its Adapted Sailing School

· There are currently around 3,000 minors in Galicia who, for different reasons, have come under the protection of the services for minors of the Galician regional administration.

With this new initiative, Monte Real seeks to continue expanding a service that it has offered for years to people with disabilities, dependents, the elderly and students from special centers with serious behavioral problems.

· The MRCYB thus reaffirms its commitment to society and consolidates itself as one of the clubs with the greatest corporate social responsibility in Galicia

Last September, the Monte Real Club de Yates celebrated, together with the Baiona council and thanks to the sponsorship of Verti Seguros, a new edition of the Solidarity Vertiathlon, a triathlon with which, for 5 years, the club has raised funds for its Adapted Sailing School.

In this 2019, the participation of 200 athletes and the collaboration of numerous brands and companies, made it possible to raise more than 6,000 euros, money that, added to the support provided by the Xunta de Galicia, has allowed the Baion club to promote new activities aimed at bringing the Marry people for whom it can lead to an improvement in their quality of life.

After launching adapted sailing courses for people with functional diversity from different associations in Galicia, taking users of nursing homes to sail through the “Amaromar” program and carrying out nautical outings with students from special education centers with behavioral problems, Monte Real is now expanding its activities with proposals for minors under the guardianship of the Xunta de Galicia.

There are currently around 3,000 boys and girls in Galicia who, for different reasons, most of them related to abandonment, abuse, lack of schooling or health care, have come under the protection of the services for minors of the Galician regional administration.

Some of them have already benefited from this new initiative promoted by Monte Real, which allows them to go sailing in a group with specialized monitors. It is a proposal that seeks, mainly, to offer these children the possibility of enjoying a few hours of enjoyment and disconnection at sea, while learning aspects related to water sports.

In the last of the outings carried out with supervised minors, the boys and girls were able to visit different points in the bay of Baiona, discover how a boat works and learn basic navigation concepts.

With the launch of this activity, the Monte Real Yacht Club once again reaffirms its commitment to society and consolidates itself as one of the clubs with the greatest corporate social responsibility in Galicia.

· The crew led by José Luis Pérez knew how to read the sea and wind conditions recorded this afternoon very well and climbed to the top of the standings after the second stage of the league

· El Cansino by Fernando Yáñez was on the verge of becoming the leader despite having achieved the best results of the day with two first places and one second

Luis de Mira’s Namasté, which was at the head of the Monte Real league, fell to fourth position behind Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva, which is third

Maija snatched the leadership of the AXA J80 Autumn League this afternoon from Luis de Mira’s Namasté, who had been at the top of the standings since the opening day of the competition.

The crew, led by José Luis Pérez, knew how to read very well the sea and wind conditions that occurred this afternoon in Baiona, with a northwesterly wind almost north, of about 12 knots of intensity, and quite a lot of waves; and managed to prevail over the rest of the J80 who are competing for the one-design league.

Since the competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates began with the sponsorship of AXA Seguros, the Maija is one of the most regular J80, also obtaining very good marks in all the tests.

In the 6 races held to date, José Luis Pérez’s men managed to cross the finish line always first or second, except on one occasion, when they finished sixth. The entry into play today of a discard allowed the crew to eliminate that bad result from the score and place themselves at the head of the provisional classification.

The other crew that is standing out above the rest in this AXA J80 Autumn League, although in a more irregular way than the Maija, is the Cansino, skippered by Commodore del Monte Real, Fernando Yáñez. In today’s session, after signing two first and a third, he managed to climb two steps in the classification, rising from fourth to second place.

In the third place on the provisional podium are Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva, who had already held the bronze position since the first day.

Luis de Mira’s Namasté, which came first, fell to fourth position; and in the fifth the Spaco de Santiago Estévez is maintained.

The AXA J80 Autumn League, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of AXA Seguros, continues on November 23 with the third and penultimate day of tests, in which the one-designs with aspirations for the podium will have to make an effort to consolidate positions in the highest positions of the classification.
