Difficult day in the regatta field of the Infinitus Rent 6m fleet. The wind did not come to its appointment in the bay today and the Regatta Committee could not give the Warning signal for any of the two scheduled races, so yesterday’s results became final.

In the Classics division, victory therefore went to the Bribon 500 Movistar of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, skippered on this occasion by Pedro Campos in the absence of King Juan Carlos. The Campos crew did not give their rivals a chance, scoring the two victories up for grabs yesterday, so the current world and European champion of the class was proclaimed the winner of the Prince of Asturias ahead of Mauricio Sánchez Bella’s Titia and Aida de Francisco Botas, second and third respectively.

An example of this was the case of the Yess Too in the Martin Miller ORC 0-1 class. Rui Ramada’s men dominated the first part of the route with authority until they found themselves in Cabo Home with a well of wind that again compressed the fleet until practically the finish line. Finally, the Yess Too was the first to finish the race and was second overall in corrected time behind the Pairo 8 of the owner José Luis Freire, who was the first leader of the day with Laureano Wizner at the helm.

For its part, the Solventis J80 class started its competition program with the dispute of the first three tests in the regatta field.

This year, the Monte Real Club de Yates joins the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Magellan and Elcano’s circumnavigation of the world with the delivery of a special award within the framework of the historic Prince of Asturias Trophy, which will be held starting tomorrow in Baiona.

The prize will be received by the crew that wins the pioneering HELLO! Ladies Cup, one of the most historic exclusively female nautical competitions in Spain, which in 2019 celebrates its twenty-third edition.

The Juan Sebastián Elcano Trophy, named in honor of the Spanish navigator who was the protagonist of one of the feats that changed the history of the world, is a bust of the Basque sailor made in lost-wax cast bronze by Antonio Miranda.

This initiative is part of a series of actions framed in the Commemoration of the V Centenary of the expedition of the first circumnavigation of Fernando de Magallanes and Juan Sebastián de Elcano that will be held during the next four years.

The first “around the entire roundness of the world” , in the words of Elcano himself, is considered one of the great feats in the history of humanity since, in addition to verifying that the earth was spherical and not just round, it represented great advances for the cartography, commerce or communications. The journey lasted from 1519 to 1522.

The HELLO! Ladies Cup is consolidated as a feminist bet

In a year in which several Spanish competitions have opted for women by creating sections for exclusively female participation, the ¡HOLA! Ladies Cup is consolidated as one of the trophies with more tradition and history in Spain. In this 2019 it turns 23 years old with the same philosophy with which it was created, that of giving visibility to women in a sport that, to this day, is still mostly male.

In this new edition, Spanish and Portuguese sailors will participate, for the most part, but on board the Figaros del Monte Real in which the participants will compete, Swiss, Italian and Slovenian accents will also be heard. And it is that the competition has been acquiring, over the years, international touches.

This year the title will be disputed by a team from the Club Náutic Sant Carles de la Rápita skippered by Anna Dolcet; another from the Real Club Náutico de Puerto Pollença, led by Pilar Casares; and two more from the Madrilenian Sailing Federation, with Laura Gil and Inés Zurita at the helm. We will also see the current champion, Marta Ramada, who will try to repeat the title for the third consecutive year; and a crew from the Naval Military School led by Lara Lagoa.

The countdown begins for the Prince of Asturias Trophy

The Monte Real Club de Yates lived with hustle and bustle this day prior to the start of the Prince of Asturias Trophy, in which the participating crews continued to arrive at their pontoons. The countdown has begun for the great sailing competition in Galicia and in Baiona boats such as the Pairo 8, the Aceites Abril or the Yess Too are ready to go out on the water tomorrow, three of the sailboats that repeat in the regatta year after year with firm aspirations to the title. They compete in the Martin Miller ORC 1 class with boats such as the Starfighter of the Julio Rodríguez (RCN Vigo), the Arroutado of José Manuel Pérez (RCN Portosín) or the Mirfak of Diego López, of the Naval Regatta Commission of the Navy, among others. .

In the Aceites Abril ORC 2 class, which will also go out to compete tomorrow Friday from three in the afternoon, we will see Jean Claude Sarrade’s Fend la Bise, Joao Tourigo’s Farofino, or Francisco Edreira’s Cachete. And in the Gadis ORC 3 class, Luis García Trigo’s Unus, Vicente Cid’s Deep Blue 2.0, Jacobo Solorzano’s Bunda and Jaime Núñez’s Raygrass III are some of the favorites.

Tomorrow, Friday, in addition to ORCs 1, 2 and 3 and the girls from the HELLO! Ladies Cup, also inaugurate the Solventis J80 class trophy, in which practically the entire Galician fleet will meet, including the recently winner of the regional champion title, Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen.

 

New addition to the 6M fleet

The Prince of Asturias Trophy will mark the debut in competition in Spain of the Marina Combarro, formerly known as Cream, the latest boat to join the Spanish 6-meter fleet. The boat, armed and skippered by Jaime Alonso from Vigo, dates from 1979. It was designed by veteran Swedish naval architect Pelle Petterson, built in Sweden, and managed to win the 1979 World Championship and the 1980 European Championship.

It has recently been completely renovated and after participating in the European La Trinité, in France, this weekend it will be released in Galician waters.
The Marina Combarro will compete, among others, with the Bribón 500 Movistar, recent world champion in Finland in the 6 meter class, in which the Galician Pedro Campos will be on board. Another prominent Galician sailor, Miguel Lago, will take command of the Alibabá II; and Jaime Rodríguez-Toubes from Ferrol will do the same with the Armada 500. In the absence of closing the registration period, they have also confirmed their participation in the Baiona competition: Caprice by Íñigo Echenique, Maybe XIV by Eugenio Galdón; and Patrick Monteiro’s Seljm.

Among them we will see King Juan Carlos who, recovered from his recent heart operation, has signed up to compete in the 6-meter class aboard the Bribón 500 with his usual crew, in which he will once again have Galician Pedro Campos as his right-hand man .

The 6 meters, grouped into the Infititus Rent and 6m Formula classes, will make up two of the 12 categories that this new edition of the Prince of Asturias Trophy will feature, one of the most numerous to date in terms of classes, with a wide range of boats.

With these characteristics, the Prince of Asturias Trophy will raise the curtain next Friday in Baiona to stage three sports and festive days with a complete program that will alternate regattas with breakfasts, dinners, parties and fireworks.

The Nauta 360 portal wins the National Sailing Award in the communication section

· 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.

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).

Violeta del Reino, Terras Gauda National Sailing Award for best sailor of the year

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.

· The J70 Marnatura of the Vigo yacht built by the Freire family and led by Luis Bugallo will receive the Monotype of the Year award on September 7 in Baiona

· The Bribón Movistar (best boat), the Estrella Damm (best ORC boat), Diego Botín and Iago López Marra (best Olympic team) and the Galicia 93 Pescanova (sports project) are other prizes

 

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.

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.

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 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.

Deporte Galego renews its support for the Monte Real Adapted Sailing School

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.
