Monte Real will be the first club in Galicia to offer the prestigious RYA nautical courses

 

The courses of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) are the most prestigious and recognized worldwide in the nautical world

· The programs that will be taught in Baiona will allow obtaining different official international qualifications

· Monte Real will also offer the possibility of obtaining the Navigation License, the PNB, the PER or the Skipper and Yacht Captain qualifications

 

The Monte Real Club de Yachts de Baiona will become this year the first yacht club in Galicia and the entire Spanish Bay of Biscay to offer in its facilities the prestigious courses of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), the most recognized worldwide within the nautical world.

They will be a series of training programs, mainly practical, in which students will be able to acquire different skills and knowledge related to navigation and thus obtain official certificates of competence valid for sailing in numerous countries around the world.

The Royal Yachting Association , based in the United Kingdom, is today the most prestigious international training organization, and obtaining one of its qualifications gives sailors the necessary certification to navigate foreign waters. It also facilitates procedures such as boat rental or the processing of nautical insurance in other countries.

Its training method is eminently practical, focused on real navigation, and a student-instructor ratio that does not exceed 5 to 1, which guarantees a more complete training and personalized attention. International certificates are also awarded through a demanding practical test with a qualified examiner on board.

Courses on “Competent crew” (course for crew members who want to go from being passengers to being active members of the crew, which is carried out on board a sailboat for 5 days, learning navigation techniques, and which enables them to navigate daytime crossings in familiar waters), “Day skipper” (course for aspiring skippers with experience in sailing equivalent to the PER qualification but more practical and in English, which enables day and night coastal navigation), “Coastal skipper” (course that requires a greater number of requirements to obtain the title and that provides theoretical knowledge equivalent to a yacht skipper, to navigate day and night voyages without losing sight of the coast) and that of “Yachtmaster offshore” (course for expert sailors who will be able to act as skippers in sailboats of up to 200gt and 150 miles from the coast),

The Baionese club will be able to offer these courses thanks to an agreement signed with the Julio Verne Náutica company, which will be in charge of providing training, both theoretical and practical, at the Monte Real facilities.

The process of homologation of the courses has suffered a delay due to the situation derived from COVID19, but it is expected to culminate in the near future and it will be this year when they begin to be taught in Baiona.

In addition to turning it into an RYA training center, the agreement signed with Julio Verne Náutica will also allow Monte Real to complement its training offer with the possibility of obtaining the Navigation license , the GNP , the PER , the extension of the powers of the PER or the qualifications of Skipper and Yachtsman .

Also, at the club’s Cruise Sailing School, new training will begin on route planning, meteorology, night navigation and watchkeeping, or electronic aids, among others . In all of them, as in the RYA courses and in obtaining the rest of the qualifications, Monte Real members will have priority access to the courses and special discounts on their prices.

The obvious repercussions that this has on the Sailing School have forced the club to suspend its activity until the restrictions are relaxed and allow courses and training to resume normally, at which time an attempt will be made to recover the classes that have been lost during this January.

The Baitra J80 Winter League, included in the group of regional sports competitions that have been suspended due to COVID19, is also still on standby without having a return date set for the moment.

From the Monte Real Club de Yates we hope that you are all well and that the serious health situation in which Galicia finds itself today can be resolved, with the support and help of all, as soon as possible.

Monte Real adapts its activity to the new restrictions derived from COVID19

 

· The suspension of all regional sports competitions forces the start of the Baitra J80 Winter League scheduled for this Saturday to be delayed

The club’s Sailing School will remain active, introducing changes to adapt to the new regulations that require, among other things, to reduce the number of crew members per boat

The Monte Real Club de Yates hopes that the application of the new restrictions will help improve the health situation in Galicia and allow the recovery, as soon as possible, of the club’s usual sports activity

 

The new restrictions approved by the Xunta de Galicia make it necessary to delay the start of the Baitra J80 Winter League, scheduled for this Saturday the 23rd in Baiona.

The competition, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with the sponsorship of Baitra Accesorios Navales, is postponed sine die (but with the intention of recovering all the days of regatta) pending future opinions from the clinical committee of the regional government.

In its last meeting, the group of experts in charge of deciding the measures to be applied to prevent the advance of the coronavirus in Galicia, recommended suspending all regional sports competitions, which include the Monte Real monotype regattas.

In the case of training sessions, the guidelines require that they be carried out respecting the closures of the different municipalities and those related to the “curfew”, set at 10:00 p.m. In addition, locker rooms and classrooms may not be used.

Thus, the Monte Real Club de Yates Sailing School may only be attended by students residing in Baiona, since the municipality is affected by a perimeter closure. The courses and trainings will continue, but with modifications, to adapt to the regulations.

Individual boats such as the Optimist are not affected by the new restrictions, but collective boats such as the Figaros and Cyclones used by the club are, in which only 4 people and 1 coach can sail, so there will be restructuring in the crews.

In this new phase, the obligation to wear a mask at all times and also to maintain a safe distance continues to be maintained. As a novelty, from now on, changing rooms and classrooms are closed.

Due to the complexity in the restructuring of the courses and training sessions and the bad weather conditions forecast for these days, Monte Real has decided to suspend the activity of the Sailing School this weekend to resume it, with everything already reorganized, on the 30th and January 31.

In this sense, the Sailing School recommends that students contact the club as soon as possible, writing an email to escuela@mrcyb.com , to facilitate the reorganization process.

In the case of athletes who are training to qualify for national championships and carry out their training outside their municipalities of residence, they must wait for the Xunta de Galicia to authorize their transfers through the Royal Galician Sailing Federation.

From the club it is expected that the application of these new restrictions will help improve the complicated situation in which Galicia finds itself today and allow the recovery, as soon as possible, of the club’s usual sports activity.

RESUME

· Baitra J80 Winter League – Its start is postponed until the Xunta de Galicia approves the holding of regional sports competitions.

MRCYB Sailing School – Continues with its usual activity but applying certain restructurings to comply with the new regulations

· Sailing School training and courses – Students residing in Baiona may attend them. They must always wear masks, comply with the safety distance and will not be able to use changing rooms or classrooms.

· Optimist students – They will be able to continue browsing without problems

· Students of Figaros and Cyclones – Only 4 students and 1 coach can sail on these boats, so there will be restructuring of the crews

· Athletes training for national championships – If they train outside their municipalities of residence, they must wait to obtain mobility authorization.

· January 30 and 31 – Weekend in which the activity of the Sailing School is resumed to facilitate its reorganization

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Dear friends and friends:

Just a few words to send you our most cordial Christmas greetings and our best wishes for the coming year 2021.

I am sure that this year 2020, which ends in a few days, has filled us with uncertainties, doubts and endless sensations that we will hardly forget.

It has also allowed us to verify that, when the commitment and quality of a team is firm, things can be done, albeit with greater difficulties. And this is the commitment that makes Monte Real great.

With the effort of each and every one of the sailors, from the youngest to the most experienced, we have been able to carry out the scheduled regattas and the most emblematic of the Club. Their support has been decisive in assuming that Monte Real should be, once again, leading our sport: sailing.

Our most sincere thanks to the sponsors and institutions that have not hesitated to support, especially this year, our firm challenge so that the sport we practice at sea could continue.

To the media, always willing to convey to society the beauty of a sport such as sailing: thank you very much for it.

And to all those with whom this year has been especially hard, and to their families, our warmest hug.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

 

Jose Luis Alvarez
President of the Monte Real Yacht Club

RCN Valencia wins the II Spanish Sailing League – State Lotteries and Betting Trophy

 

  • Great final day in the State Lotteries and Bets Trophy with wind between 15 and 20 knots
  • The Real Club Náutico de Arrecife fails to defend the title and finishes in second position
  • Impressive comeback of the host club, the Monte Real Club de Yates, which finishes on the third step of the podium

The State Lotteries and Betting Trophy has had a magnificent day today to close the 2020 edition of the Spanish Sailing League, with wind and emotion until the last moment to define the final classification.

The eleven teams that have participated this year began the day with a series of clashes to complete the qualifying rounds, thus clearing up the mystery of who would be the six teams that would participate in the Grand Final.

Today the estuary was full to animate these last bars of the competition, with a wind that at times was capricious in intensity and direction before the entrance of a shower, but that in general contributed to the good development of the tests scheduled for this last day.

The crew of the Real Club Náutico de Valencia arrived with a comfortable advantage but without being able to trust, because the rhythm of the regattas and the impetus of the teams to win a place on the podium left no room for error.

Complying with the planned program, adjusted to the orange alert announced for 3:00 p.m. on the Galician coast, once the confrontations of all the teams were finished, the first six classified that would go on to the Grand Final were announced: RCN Valencia, RCN de Arrecife , RCN Torrevieja, RCN de Gran Canaria, MRCY Baiona and CN Altea.

It was the turn of the three final regattas, with double points. So far, all had shown their usual regularity. All but one, the Monte Real Club de Yates team that has been superior from the beginning in its waters and with a one-design that shows they know perfectly. The regattas of the crew led by Manuel María Cunha, together with Jaime de la Gándara, Antonio María Cunha, Vasco Tinoco and Marta Ramada, have been counted by victories throughout the qualifying series, ascending from eighth to fifth position in the provisional upon completion of these.

The moment of truth had arrived. Arrecife won the first of the final regattas, followed by Valencia and Baiona, which did not alter the positions in the table but brought the team from Monte Real a little closer to fourth position. Those from Cunha pressed the accelerator again and a new first in their locker, a third from Gran Canaria and a fifth from Torrevieja put those from Gran Canaria on the third step of the podium, those from Monte Real in fourth position and dropped to those of Torrevieja up to the fifth.

The first two places were decided, the Real Club Náutico de Valencia was the virtual winner of the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy ahead of the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife, but the third step of the podium was still up in the air and three teams with a margin of two points between them.

The Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona won the last regatta followed by the RCN de Arrecife and the RCN Gran Canaria, thus signing a splendid final and achieving a deserved third place in the general classification.

The team from the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife, led by Gonzalo Morales together with Fátima Diz, Roberto Molina, Tomás Fuentes and Ricardo Terrades, were unable to retain the title, but did secure a convincing second place.

And the Real Club Náutico de Valencia sealed its first participation in the Spanish Sailing League with a victory cultivated from the first bars. Axel Rodger, Pau Chirivella, Antonio Puig, Quicorras Urios and Mª José Algarra received their well-deserved winner’s trophy from the president of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, Julia Casanueva, and the president of Monte Real, José Luís Álvarez.

The sports delegate of the Pontevedra Provincial Council, Gorka Gómez, accompanied the mayor of Baiona, Carlos Gómez, in the delivery of the trophy to the second-placed Real Club Náutico de Arrecife.

And the head of the Provincial Sports Service of the Xunta de Galicia, Daniel Benavides, together with José Luís Álvarez, handed over the third-placed prize to the Monte Real Yacht Club team.

Julia Casanueva, president of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, recognized the success of this new edition of the Spanish Sailing League and the achievement of its objectives: “The RFEV had been trying to start this project for several years and thanks to State Lotteries and Bets last year we managed to start it.

It is a great initiative, the proof is in the incorporation of new crews this year. With the complex year we are experiencing, we have 11 teams that have opted for La Liga. In addition, it is noteworthy that there are many very young crew members who are joining older crews and this is very important; we are achieving what we wanted: to connect sailing between the different generations. There is a great projection also at European level because this league will continue in the European League and this greatly encourages all athletes “.

Axel Rodger, skipper of the RCN Valencia team, was proud of the success of his crew and was grateful for the celebration of the State Lottery and Betting Trophy, the Spanish Sailing League, “because it has been a complicated year in which we have sailed very little. We appreciate the courage shown by the RFEV, the CN of Calpe and the MRCY of Baiona, in addition to the support of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado for this event”.

The RCN Valencia defends leadership in the Spanish Sailing League – Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy

Fair wind and calm sea to inaugurate the State Lottery and Gambling Trophy in the waters of the Monte Real Yacht Club

After the storm comes calm and the weather today has shown its other face in the waters of Baiona to start the second phase of the State Lotteries and Bets Trophy, with winds that have not exceeded 7 knots of intensity, unstable in direction and calm sea .

The day was used to the maximum to close the day with four almost complete clashes, after which the Real Club Náutico Valencia team, skippered by Alex Rodger, remains at the top of the table with a good cushion of points over Real Club Nautical Reef Gonzalo Morales.

But it is the Club Náutico Torrevieja, owned by José Manuel Ballester, who now occupies the third step of the podium, unseating the Real Club Náutico Gran Canaria owned by Onán Barreiros.

The classifications tighten up to sixth position, which is reached by the host team, skippered by Manuel María Cunha, who flaunts his good knowledge of the one design by adding today the best partials with three first places, which is enough to move up two places in the table and enter that compact group that tomorrow will give everything to get on the podium.

The satisfaction and drive of the Monte Real Club de Yates team are clear in the words of Jaime de la Gándara, crew member of the team led by Cunha: “The truth is that we have done three tests and fought three victories, we have fought until the end. In Calpe we did not know the boat or the conditions, but here it is different. Today we have all made mistakes: the field is difficult and we have all had problems, but we have been able to solve them quickly”.

Regarding the options for the final day, the Galician crew member shows caution: “The level is very high and it is quite difficult to stay in the top positions because there is a lot of fighting. For tomorrow the part is complicated, everything is going to be more difficult due to the wind, the sea and the cold. We want to be in the final, whatever happens, and put the name of Baiona as high as possible”.

The Sailing Instructions indicate 11:00 a.m. tomorrow, Monday, as the start time for the first tests, with a weather forecast that announces more wind, and a program that foresees the holding of more qualifying tests until 12:30 p.m. to proceed then to the finals, with three regattas that score double and to which the top six finishers will access.

And after an exciting final, Samuel Beneyto has been proclaimed the individual winner of the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy, the Spanish Sailing League in its eSailing version, beating Miguel Cruz, second classified, and Joan Ravie, third.

Contact with the Figaros in the Spanish Sailing League – Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy

 

· The orange alert due to the Dora storm prevents the dispute of the first regattas of the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy

· The teams take advantage of the day to make contact with the Figaro, monotypes with which the regattas will be carried out

(Information: Royal Spanish Sailing Federation Helena de la Gándara – Macarena Lainez / Photos: María Muiña RFEV / Video: Ugo Fonollá RFEV)

The Dora storm has forced the start of the tests of the second and final phase of the State Lotteries and Betting Trophy to be postponed until tomorrow, which will be held until next Monday 7 in the waters of the Vigo estuary, based on Mount Royal Yacht Club.

The poor state of the sea advised the authorities to declare an orange alert throughout the Galician coast, thereby preventing the holding of sports competitions. But sheltered by the estuary, the eleven teams participating in this second edition of the Spanish Sailing League have held a free practice session, thus familiarizing themselves with the Figaro monotypes with which the tests will be held starting tomorrow.

During the first phase of the 2020 edition of the State Lotteries and Bets Trophy, held at the Real Club Náutico Calpe, the matches were held in Tom28 units, very different from the Figaros, as Axel Rodger, patron of the Real Club team, told us. Náutico Valencia, current leader of the general classification: “It is one more cruise ship, it is heavier, it has more displacement, it is larger, which requires more physical strength. We are a light crew, so with skill we will have to make up for our lack of strength and weight.”.

The Real Club Náutico Valencia team is seven points ahead of its closest rival, Gonzalo Morales’ Real Club Náutico de Arrecife, and thirteen over Onán Barreiros’ Real Club Náutico de Gran Canaria, a superiority that, however, doesn’t allow Rodger’s team to relax: “We are happy to start as leaders, but there are many tests ahead of us and for us this is a new championship. It is a boat in which we have never sailed, the sea is very different from the Mediterranean and there are very good competitors, so we have to face it as if it were starting over, with an advantage, obviously, that we value”.

After having made good use of this opportunity to get to know their mounts, the teams are ready to begin the clashes, having in many cases reinforced their crews with a view to this final battle to win the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy, the Spanish Sailing League, and be one of those designated to represent Spain in the European League.

As planned, the regattas for tomorrow, Sunday, will begin at 11:00 a.m. and, as the regatta director, Luky Serrano, comments, “The intention is to do as many regattas as possible to recover today’s, although with the “tight” schedule it is very complicated. On Monday we will start soon with qualifying regattas and, starting at 12:30 p.m., the finals, with three regattas that score double and to which the top six finishers have access”.

Galicia will decide the winner of the Spanish Sailing League – Loterías y Apuestas del Estado Trophy

The Monte Real Club de Yates has hosted this noon the presentation of the second phase of the State Lotteries and Betting Trophy that will begin this Saturday, December 5.

The event, which was attended by José Luís Álvarez, president of the Monte Real Yacht Club, Alejandro Retolaza, vice president of the MRCY, José Ramón Lete Lasa, general secretary for sports of the Xunta de Galicia, Gorka Gómez, deputy for sports from the Pontevedra Provincial Council, Óscar Martínez, deputy mayor of Baiona, and Marta Fernández-Tapias, territorial delegate of the Xunta de Galicia in Vigo.

The president of the host club was in charge of opening the presentation, the last test of the sports calendar of the Monte Real Club de Yates, emphasizing the rigor with which the entity applies the required security protocols and affirming that it “It will be, without a doubt, a great competition that we encourage you to enjoy from land, since the regattas can be seen from many points around the bay”.

After the intervention of the rest of the authorities, José Ramón Lete Lasa, General Secretary for Sport of the Xunta de Galicia, closed the act highlighting that “The commitment of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado to sport and to this Spanish Sailing League, in its second edition, is one more example of the entity’s commitment to sport, with which it has always been very committed, promoting so many and so many competitions” .

11 teams meet in the waters of Baiona –Pontevedra– to fight for the final victory in the State Lotteries and Bets Trophy, La Liga de Vela. If the first of the two events that make up this league –the one held in the waters of the Valencian Community (Real Club Náutico Calpe)– made it clear that the competition was going to be tighter than in the previous edition, Galicia –Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona– will write the name of the winning team.

Unlike in the first edition of this League (2019), the town of Pontevedra will be in charge of organizing the grand final – in 2019 it hosted the opening act.

The teams will have a handicap in this final and that is that the boats selected to compete in the final will not be the same as in the first round. On this occasion the Tom28 will be replaced by the Figaro that the Galician club has, so the experts in the first boats will have to make an effort to get the most out of these monotypes.

The Real Club Náutico de Valencia team, with Axel Rodger as leader, has already made its potential clear in Mediterranean waters, finishing with a margin of more than six points over the winner of the first edition of the State Lotteries and Bets Trophy, the RCN of Arrecife skippered by Gonzalo Morales.

Everything is in a fist between the second and fifth classified and it is that between the RCN of Arrecife, the RCN Gran Canaria -with Onan Barreiros as skipper-, the RCN Torrevieja, with Jose Manuel Ballester as skipper, and the Club Náutico Altea there is hardly nine points.

If the weather conditions allow it, the Regatta Committee of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation will try to finish all the scheduled rounds –in two groups of 6 boats– after the first 15 tests completed in fleet Round-Robin format.

Sharing dates with the outcome of the State Lotteries and Gambling Trophy in its natural environment, the waters of Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona, the eSailing version of the event will also experience its individual final phase, which will be held on Saturday, December 5 from 9:00 p.m.

 

DECLARATIONS OF THE OFFICIAL PRESENTATION IN BAIONA

“By complying with all the security protocols required by COVID19, this year we were able to celebrate events as important as the Conde de Gondomar Trophy or the Príncipe de Asturias, and we are going to close the sports calendar with another event of great relevance in the national nautical scene: the Spanish Sailing League. The Royal Spanish Sailing Federation has chosen us again as the organizer of the tests, and from Monte Real we can only thank the trust placed, once again, in our club. It will be, without a doubt, a great competition that we encourage you to enjoy from land, since the regattas can be seen from many points around the bay” – José Luis Álvarez President of the Monte Real Yacht Club

“The commitment of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado to sport and to this Spanish Sailing League, in its second edition, is one more example of the entity’s commitment to sport, with which it has always been very committed, promoting so many and so many competitions. And this is something to be thankful for, just as we must also thank the work carried out in Galicia, by all the federations and clubs, to apply the COVID protocols adapting them to the model approved by the Xunta. This has allowed us to be the fifth community with the lowest incidence of coronavirus and to continue celebrating this type of event. Galicia did its homework and we have not stopped. And the Monte Real Yacht Club is a clear example of this. We have shown that working as a team works better” – José Ramón Lete Lasa General Secretary for Sport of the Xunta de Galicia

“In such an atypical and difficult year, the Monte Real Club de Yates has been able to continue its activity and maintain its competitions and we can only congratulate the club for its work. I would also like to thank all the sponsors and collaborators, especially Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, for their commitment to sports. The synergies between public administrations and private sponsors are essential for the work of the clubs and for sport to be a generator of economy and attract tourism” – Gorka Gómez Deputy for Sports of the Pontevedra Provincial Council

“For Baiona it is a pride to have the Monte Real Club de Yates in our town because it is a clear reference in world sport, and we are sure that this second edition of the Spanish Sailing League will be a new triumph, like everything that the club signature. We live in a place that is a benchmark in the world nautical scene and in a spectacular setting for this type of activity, which values our bay and our surroundings, and we can only support them as we have done so far and will continue to do in the future” – Óscar Martínez Deputy Mayor of Baiona

De la Gándara and his Okofen crew win the J80 Autumn League

 

· The sailor from Vigo, accompanied by his sons Javier and Jaime and his usual winning partner, Diego Fernández, achieved a new triumph in Baiona

· De la Gándara revalidated the success achieved at the beginning of the year in the Winter League and sentenced the autumn championship by taking 27 points from their rivals

· El Cansino by Fernando Yáñez and El Alboroto by Juan Carlos Ameneiro won silver and bronze in the Monte Real monotype league

· Next weekend the bay of Baiona will host a new edition of the Spanish Sailing League – State Lotteries and Bets Trophy

There were no surprises this Saturday in Baiona and the crew led by the sailor from Vigo Javier de la Gándara finally won the J80 class Autumn League, which this afternoon held its last tests in the Bay of Baiona.

On board the Okofen , Javier de la Gándara, his sons Jaime and Javier, and Diego Fernández, the team’s usual teammate in victories; They sentenced a new edition of the one-design championship of the Monte Real Club de Yates, and they did it again forcefully.

Of the 9 tests held in various days during the months of October and November, Okofen signed 7 first places and finished with 9 points in the final general classification. The crew only missed 2 victories in which, in any case, they did not drop from second position.

De la Gándara and his team thus revalidated the victory they had achieved at the beginning of the year in the J80 Winter League and hung their laurels by taking up to 29 points from second-placed Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino . Despite the fact that he suffered a lot in today’s quarters (with an eighth, a tenth and a sixth place), Cansino managed to finish with 36 points and took the silver in the league.

The surprise of the classification came with the bronze, which finally went to the hands of Uproar from Juan Carlos Ameneiro, who with a third, a sixth and a second on the last day, managed to jump from fifth to third place overall and close the championship podium with 40 points.

Manuel María Cunha’s Marías was once again, as it had been on the penultimate day, one of the outstanding boats of the day. He finished second in the first race, managed to beat Okofen in the second race and finished third in the last regatta of the day. Despite these good results, his absences in the first days of the league (he did not compete in the first four days) weighed too much and Marías finished the competition in ninth position.

In this last stage of the one-design league, three tests were completed with a somewhat shifty wind, which forced several route changes; and with the night throwing itself on top of the clock, which prevented the celebration of any test greater than the three initially planned.

In addition to Okofen and Marías, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto managed to get on the partial podiums this Saturday, with a third and a second; and the Namasté by Luis de Mira, who achieved third place in one of the tests; although only the Fuss managed to sneak into the final podium.

Gold, silver and bronze for the Okofen, the Tired and the Fuss; fourth and fifth position for the New Moon by Juan Luis Tuero and the Maija by José Luis Pérez; and sixth place for Spaco de Santiago Estévez, another of the outstanding boats in the autumn league, which finally could not enter the Top 5.

With the end of the J80 Autumn League, the Monte Real Club de Yates puts an end to its 2020 sports calendar although it has not yet said goodbye to the competitions, since next weekend the waters of Baiona will host a new edition of the Spanish Sailing League – State Lotteries and Bets Trophy .

Organized by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, the state league returns to the Baionese club -where it had already been in 2019- to celebrate its last tests, some regattas that will reveal the name of the team that will represent Spain in the Sailing Champions League, the league European.

Decisive day for the J80 Autumn League

 

· This Saturday the last three tests of the autumnal one-design championship that have been held in Baiona since last October will be held

· Located at the head of the classification, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen is the sailboat that has the most ballots to win the final victory of the league

Fernando Yáñez’s El Cansino and Santiago Estévez’s Spaco are in second and third, 10 and 19 points behind the first respectively

· After the celebration of the last regattas, the Monte Real Club de Yates will award the prizes to the winners of the competition

 

This Saturday will be a decisive day for the J80 Autumn League, the one-design competition that has been held in Baiona since last October under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The bay of Baiona will host the last three regattas of the championship, which will end up defining a winners’ podium that, except for last-minute surprises, has a clear favourite, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen.

The J80, led by the skipper from Vigo, has won 5 victories in the 6 races held so far and is at the top of the standings with 5 points, with a fairly comfortable margin compared to its most direct rivals.

Those rivals, aspiring to one of the podium positions, are Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Santiago Estévez’s Spaco, located in second and third position with 15 and 24 points respectively. And not much farther from them, they are followed by Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva, with 25 points, and Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, with 29.

It will, therefore, be very close, that center of the list where anything can happen depending on the ability of the crews in the last rounds of the championship, which will once again be double courses between buoys of the windward-leeward type.

The forecast for this Saturday announces a fairly autumnal day, with overcast skies, some possibility of rain, and southerly winds above 7 knots, which may reach up to fourteen at the moment.

Once the last tests in the water have been completed, the Monte Real Club de Yates will award the prizes to the winners of the competition, complying with the security protocols established by COVID19.

Marías manages to beat Okofen, which continues to lead

 

Manuel María Cunha’s Marías gives the surprise of the day by becoming the first J80 to beat Okofen so far in the championship

· Despite not winning one of the races, sailor Javier de la Gándara from Vigo consolidated Okofen’s leadership in the J80 Autumn League

The ocean sailor and his crew have won 5 victories in the 6 races held so far in the Monte Real Club de Yates league

 

The sailor from Vigo Javier de la Gándara once again showed his worth one more day in the waters of the Bay of Baiona by leading a new triumphant day for Okofen in the J80 Autumn League. The ocean sailor and his crew have 5 victories in the 6 races held so far in the league organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates.

The full number of first places achieved so far by Okofen was marred only by a second position signed this afternoon in one of the tests. A result that, with the entry into play of a discard, they were able to eliminate from the scoreboard, thus consolidating their leadership and moving further and further away from their rivals.

With 5 points, Gándara’s men are at the top of the standings, followed by Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino, who once again slipped into the top positions, but without managing to climb to first position. He finished third and second in the regattas this Saturday in Baiona and placed second in the provisional general standings with 15 points.

Spaco de Santiago Estévez also climbed one position and slipped into the provisional podium, greatly favored by the application of the discard. They will reach the final with 24 points, with Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva hot on their heels from fourth position with 25 points. Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Fuss closes the Top 5 of the J80 Autumn League, with 29 points.

The surprise of this third day, in which the wind blew with intensity and added emotion to the tests, was given by Manuel María Cunha’s Marías. The Portuguese, recently arrived from Calpe from competing in the Spanish Sailing League representing the Monte Real Club de Yates, managed to beat Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen in the first test of the day, something that no other sailboat had achieved so far. With that first place and the third achieved in the second test, in which they were affected by a broken spinnaker, he managed to climb quite a few positions in the general classification, but his absences in the first days keep him away from the positions of honor.

The J80 League continues to be played in compliance with all the security protocols established due to the coronavirus pandemic, with a large number of control measures to avoid any risk situation.

The fourth and last day of the competition will be held at the end of this month, on Saturday, November 28, on a day in which, in addition to the final tests in the water, the Monte Real Club de Yates will award the prizes to the winners.

Third round of the Autumn League for the Galician fleet of J80

· The 17 boats that have been competing in the one-design league since last October return to the water tomorrow, Saturday, to compete on the third day

· The expectations of the fleet happen because the 3 scheduled tests can be held after the previous day they could only dispute one

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto and Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino lead the classification

 

The Galician J80 fleet will compete this Saturday in Baiona for the third round of the Autumn League, which has been held since last October under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

The 17 participating boats will return to the water with enthusiasm after the previous day only one of the three scheduled regattas could be disputed due to bad weather conditions.

On this occasion, the forecast indicates that the wind will blow above 15 knots, reaching peaks close to 25, so, in principle, there should be no problems completing the program.

The regattas will begin, as usual, at three in the afternoon, and will include a double course between buoys. If all three scheduled races are finally run, a discard will come into play, and once each boat removes its worst partial result from the counter, there could be surprises in the standings.

Until now, the leadership belongs, clearly and forcefully, to Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who achieved four first places in the four races held. In second position, 7 points behind Okofen, is Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto; and with just one point of difference between them, Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino and Santiago Estévez’s Spaco are in third and fourth place.

The favorites do not disappoint in the second day of the J80 Autumn League marked by the wind

 

· Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen manages to stay in the lead after getting another victory and expanding the points cushion over their rivals

· El Alboroto by Juan Carlos Ameneiro and El Cansino by Fernando Yáñez consolidate second and third place in the provisional classification

· The three tests planned for today were reduced to one due to the wind with gusts that exceeded 30 knots

 

The Okofen by Javier de la Gándara, the Riot of Juan Carlos Ameneiro and the Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino consolidate the first three places in the J80 Autumn League of the Monte Real Club de Yates, which this Saturday reached its halfway point with the dispute of the second of the four days scheduled between October and November.

The 17 participating one-designs could only take part this afternoon in one of the three tests scheduled in the program, since the weather met the forecasts and left a hard Saturday at sea, with a southerly wind always above 20 knots with gusts that they were over 30.

After seeing that the conditions were getting complicated at times, preventing the fleet from sailing safely, the regatta committee, with Jano Martín at the helm, decided to send the fleet ashore once the first test was over, in which the favorites did not disappoint .

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen was the first to cross the finish line, signing his fourth first so far in the competition. He was closely followed by the Rampage of Juan Carlos Ameneiro, who came second and remains in second place on the provisional podium.

Santiago Estevez’s Spaco qualified third today, but failed to beat Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino in the general standings who, despite finishing seventh, still have the bronze around their necks.

Behind Spaco -fourth-, are Rosario García’s Ferralemes , in fifth position; Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, in sixth; and Nacho Salgueiro’s Miudo , who is seventh. Francisco J Martínez’s SND Cormorant climbed to eighth position overall today.

The only test disputed by the one-design fleet this Saturday was a windward-leeward course with a shorter distance than usual, as it was shortened by up to a mile due to the wind, which blew from the south with 20 sustained knots and gusts of up to 30.

These harsh conditions with which the regatta began became even more complicated as the minutes went by and finally forced the regatta committee to leave the day with a single test.

The J80 class Autumn League, in which 17 boats compete, will continue next Saturday, November 7 with the third and penultimate day of tests.
