NOTICE OF RACE · J80 CLASS SPANISH CHAMPIONSHIP

Outstanding Portuguese skipper Rui Ramada led the Atlantic MBA crew to victory in the first major cruise competition of the spring season

· The MBA won the Vigo-Baiona route along with Luis Pérez’s Balea Dous, who took one of the competition’s gold medals to Rodeira for the second consecutive year

· Pedro Pazos’ Oral Group once again demonstrated its power in the water and was the best on the Sanxenxo-Baiona route, achieving another of the trophy podiums

· In the J80 class the winner was Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva, and the Erizana skippered by the very young sailor from Vigo Marta Rego won the Figaro class

The Atlantic MBA skippered by the outstanding Portuguese sailor Rui Ramada was proclaimed the winner, this Saturday in the Rías Baixas, of the Comunica Trophy, the first major cruise competition of the spring season, organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club with the collaboration of the Royal Sanxenxo Nautical Club and the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo.

In the trophy, which this year changed its design and was held with a double start format from Sanxenxo and Vigo, more than 200 sailors participated aboard the 34 registered boats. A fleet that had to face complicated conditions due to the wind, which disappeared at times and left them floating in calm conditions that lasted up to an hour and a half.

The boats that started as favorites stood out from the first moments. After the start honk in Sanxenxo, Pedro Pazos’ Oral Group was quickly placed at the head of the fleet, and with a very good navigation managed to revalidate the victory achieved in the previous edition. Adolfo Castro’s Youkounkoun, from the Portonovo Yacht Club, came third in the classification for the Sanxenxo-Baiona track, which is almost 16 miles long.

The route was shorter for the sailboats that started in Vigo at two in the afternoon, one hour after the ones from Sanxenxo. They sailed just over 9 and a half miles to Carallones, where the regatta committee decided to shorten the course after suffering a great calm in Toralla.

Divided into two classes according to their competitive ability, those who finally took the victory were the Atlantic MBA of Rui Ramada del Monte Real; and Luis Pérez’s Balea Dous, who came ready to repeat his triumph, and took Rodeira back with the gold he had already achieved in 2017.

Behind the Atlantic MBA were La Burla Negra by Juan José Martínez, from Monte Real; and the Bosch Service Solutions of the Club Marítimo de Canido, skippered by Ramón Ojea. And below the Balea Dous, in the second class of the Vigo-Baiona route, were the Juliana by Deep Blue by Vicence Cid, with a pendant from the Real Club Náutico de Vigo; and the Q Talento of Javier Rey, from the Monte Real Yacht Club, silver and bronze of the Comunica Trophy.

In the J80 class, victory went to Juan Luis Tuero’s Luna Nueva; and second and third place for Cansino by Manuel Fernández and Boy de Canto by Carlos Hernández.

The Erizana of the very young sailor from Vigo, Marta Rego, prevailed in the Figaros competition, ahead of the Ladeira of Carlos Castelao and the Silleiro of Ramón Palao.

At the awards ceremony for the winners, held at the Monte Real Club de Yates once the competition in the water had finished, several executives from Comunica, the company sponsoring the trophy, participated. Among them were its executive director, Roberto Lira; the financial director, Jorge Berridy or Vânia Marlise, art director of the visual communication firm.

After putting an end to the Comunica Trophy, the Monte Real Yacht Club is now preparing for another of its great events this year, the Repsol Trophy, which will be held next weekend. The traditional spring regatta of the Baionese club hosts this year the Spanish Championship of the J80 class, which will be attended by monotypes from all over the peninsula.

· The club has requested a grant from the Consellería do Mar de la Xunta de Galicia through the FEMP and the GALP7 to be able to carry out a series of improvement works to provide a better service to pilgrims

· Among the actions planned is the construction of an access ramp for people with disabilities and the reformulation of various facilities to minimize energy consumption

· Other measures that are intended to be implemented involve the application of discounts to pilgrims who stop at the club within the framework of the Xacobean Nautical Crossing and a special discount for women

One of the objectives that the Monte Real Yacht Club has set for this 2018 is to improve its facilities in order to provide a better service to pilgrims who want to do the Camino de Santiago by sea within the framework of the “Xacobean Nautical Journey ” . This is a new proposal, promoted by the Xunta de Galicia and the Association of Galician Nautical Clubs (ASNAUGA), which offers sailing lovers the possibility of sailing the pilgrimage route to Compostela.

To complete it, there are two possibilities: a north route, which starts in Ribadeo; and a southern one, which begins in Baiona, at the historic Monte Real Yacht Club, chosen as the starting point for the Xacobean Nautical Crossing due to its long and prolific history in the Galician nautical scene, and because it also has the Q of Tourist Quality, an essential certification to be part of the initiative.

Despite being within the group of 13 Galician nautical clubs distinguished with the Q for Tourist Quality, the Monte Real Club de Yates seeks to improve the attention it pays to its pilgrim transits and for this reason has requested a subsidy from the Consellería do Mar de la Xunta de Galicia through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (FEMP) and the Local Action Groups of the Fisheries Sector (GALP) to execute the actions.

With the planned works, the Monte Real Yacht Club intends to improve its facilities to welcome the flow of visitors with quality guarantees, while renewing certain services to achieve greater energy savings and responsible use of energy.

Among the actions scheduled are the construction of a 100% accessible ramp that guarantees access to the terrace for people with functional diversity and the renovation of the sanitary facilities, adapting them to responsible consumption and energy saving protocols.

Other measures that are intended to be implemented involve the application of a 15 percent discount on club fees to pilgrims who stop at Monte Real within the framework of the Xacobean Crossing, increasing that discount to 25 percent in the event that the patron of the boat is a woman and the inclusion of a visit to the Baiona fish market in the price of the mooring, with the aim of making all those pilgrims who wish to know this important economic activity of the fishing village.

The intention of the Baionese club is to take advantage of the launch of the proposal of the “Xacobea Nautical Crossing” by the Xunta de Galicia to renew its facilities and promote this new tourist product, attracting a new profile of visitors to Baiona and mitigating the tourist seasonality in which the summer and winter periods continue to be very different.

Likewise, Monte Real will favor the economic revitalization of the municipality, since it undertakes to carry out all the planned actions with local suppliers in the area, provided that the business fabric allows it.

· The storm called “Hugo” that will begin to be noticed in Galicia from this afternoon forced the postponement of the last day of tests of the Infinitus Trophy

· This new explosive cyclogenesis will cause a storm of wind in much of the peninsula, bad state of the sea and widespread rains

· The final tests of the championship will be held on Saturday, April 14, along with the award ceremony for the winners and a fellowship dinner

The “Hugo” storm, which will begin to be felt in Galicia from this afternoon, has forced the last day of testing the Infinitus Rent Trophy, which was to be held tomorrow afternoon in the Bay of Baiona, to be postponed.

This new explosive cyclogenesis, which can already be seen clearly in satellite images, will cause a storm of wind in much of the peninsula, bad conditions in the sea and widespread rains, although not very intense.

Given this situation and the alerts issued by Meteogalicia, and after agreeing with the regatta committee, the Monte Real Club de Yates, organizer of the J80 championship, has decided to postpone the day and celebrate it on April 14. It will be then that the winner of the one-design winter league that the Baionese club has been celebrating since the beginning of the year will be decided.

Waiting for what happens in the last three tests, the classification is today very tight in the places of honor, which predicts an exciting final. The Portuguese crew of the Miudo, skippered by Afonso Leite; and the Okofen of Javier de la Gándara from Vigo, are in the lead tied on 13 points. Behind them, with 18 points, is Miguel Lago’s Virazón.

In addition to the last rounds of the competition, the awards ceremony for the winners will be held on April 14, at a fellowship dinner at the Monte Real Yacht Club.

· The Spanish Sailing Federation chose this year the Monte Real Club de Yates to organize the one-design national competition that will be held from May 27 to 1

· The Spanish J80 Championship will be held as part of the Repsol Trophy, the traditional spring regatta that the club from Baiona has been organizing for more than 40 years

· The entire J80 fleet of Monte Real will participate in a competition in which the arrival of crews from different parts of Spain is expected

This year the Spanish Sailing Federation chose the Monte Real Club de Yates to organize the J80 class Spanish Championship , which will be held in Baiona from April 27 to May 1. The competition will be part of the Repsol Trophy, the traditional spring regatta that the club from Baiona has been organizing for more than 40 years.

Dear Friends:

This year we welcome the month of March in style, with the celebration of the festival of La Arribada, which this year is even more special as it commemorates the 525th anniversary of the arrival of La Pinta to our beloved town, bringing the new world news

As has become a tradition, Monte Real will participate in the festivities offering parallel activities, such as sailing trips to navigate the bay and enjoy the shows from the water. We also lower the price of moorings for all those who want to approach Baiona by sea.

And this year, in addition, we are organizing a commemorative regatta, the 525th Anniversary Regatta of the Arribada de la Pinta, which sailboats of the 6m class will compete on May 12 and 13.

We dedicate a prominent section of this latest newsletter to the Arribada, in which it shares the spotlight with the Comunica Trophy regatta announcement, the end of the Baitra Trophy, the evolution of the Infinitus Rent Trophy and the commitment of the General Secretary of Sport with our School Sailing Adapted.
