Miudo and Okofen fight for the Infinitus Rent Trophy

 

· The sailboats owned by Portuguese Afonso Leite and Javier de la Gándara from Vigo were placed leaders of the competition today tied on points, making Virazón de Miguel Lago, who was in the lead, fall to third position

· With several false starts and a general call on the water, the nervousness of a fleet that sees how the competition is approaching its end and tries to give everything to sneak into the positions of honor was felt this afternoon

· The entry into play of a discard allowed the sailboats to eliminate their worst result to date and left the intermediate positions of the classification very tight for the last two days to be played in March

 

Afonso Leite’s Miudo and Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen were placed leaders of the Infinitus Rent Trophy today after the celebration of the fourth round of the J80 competition that the Monte Real Club de Yates has been holding since the beginning of the year. Tied on 13 points at the top of the standings, Miudo and Okofen dropped Miguel Lago’s Virazón to third position, which was in the lead and remains, despite losing the lead, one of the clearest competitors for the trophy gold.

With several false starts and a general call, the nervousness of a fleet that sees how the competition is approaching its end, and tries to give everything to sneak into the positions of honor was palpable on the water this afternoon. Today’s was also an important day due to the entry into play of a discard, which allowed each sailboat to eliminate its worst result so far, changing the ranking quite a bit.

Although the forecasts announced a difficult day, with little wind for navigation, it finally remained quite stable, and with an average of 8 knots it allowed the fleet to dispute the three scheduled tasks. In the first, Guillermo Blanco’s Meltemi, from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña, won; in the second, the Ferralemes, by Enrique Porto, from Monte Real; and in the third the Portuguese Miudo, from the We Do Sailing club.

With these results and with the discard coming into play, the classification, which Virazón had been leading, changed a lot and practically all the crews changed position. The provisional podium is currently occupied by Miudo, Okofen and Virazón, who are first, second and third respectively.

Fourth place is occupied, with 28 points, by Cansino, by Fernando Yáñez; and in fifth and sixth position are Guillermo Blanco’s Meltemi, with 31 points, and Luis de Mira’s Namasté, with 34. In the intermediate boxes, the short distance that separates a large part of the fleet predicts an exciting end to a trophy to which two new J80s were added today, Javier Martínez Valente’s Cunichán; and the Boi de Canto of the vice-commodore of Monte Real, Genoveva Pereiro.

Once the halfway point of the competition has been passed, the Infinitus Rent Trophy has only two days left to define the winners’ podium. The next one will be held in fifteen days, on March 10, and the 24th will be the final day. For this last stage, a fellowship dinner is also scheduled at the facilities of the Monte Real Yacht Club and the awards ceremony for the winners.

Martín Wizner from Vigo and Pedro Ameneiro from Pontevedra have just been proclaimed winners of the Baitra Dinghy Sailing Trophy, held this weekend in Baiona under the organization of the Monte Real Yacht Club and sponsored by the Baitra naval accessories company.

The current world champions under 17 in the 420 class achieved victory after signing two first places and one third in the three races held in the Saturday’s stage , results that were maintained after Sunday’s day, in which it was impossible to play any heat due to lack of wind.

With a highly refined technique and a great competitive spirit, the young sailors, from the 2001 generation, adapted to the Baiona course as the tests progressed. “The first heat was a bit difficult for us and we broke the crow’s feet but in the second, already accustomed to the roles, we picked up the pace and placed first, and in the third we were able to stay without problems” , Ameneiro assured at the end of the trophy.

Wizner and Ameneiro thus add a new success to their meteoric career, a resume that already includes, in addition to the under 17 world championship, the silver of the Athens European Open and the bronze of the 420 junior European Championships, held in Lago di Garda (Italy). Their next challenge, for which they are already preparing, is the Spanish Championship for the class, which will be held next March in Gran Canaria. “We are very excited -says Wizner- and this trophy has served as training to continue improving for the national”.

Therefore, the great trophy of the championship will go to the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, a cast replica of the Crab Battery that the winners received from Juan Carlos González, manager of Baitra and one of the great promoters of basic sailing in Galicia.

Another crew from the nautical ship from Vigo, the winner of the previous edition, formed by Jorge Enríquez and Guillermo Núñez, managed to climb to the second podium drawer; and the tandem Jacobo García-Antoni Ripoll, from the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, completed the winners’ podium by hanging the bronze medal.

In addition to finishing third overall, García and Ripoll won the prize for the best U-17 crew, beating Africa Alonso and María Pérez Canal, from the Vigo yacht club; and Yago Castro and Jaime Wizner, who were second and third respectively.

The girls took, in addition to the second prize in U-17, the award for the best female crew of the competition.

Present at the awards ceremony for the winners were the president and several directors of the Monte Real Club de Yates, as the organizing club; the manager of Baitra, as sponsor of the event; the mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal; the councilor for maritime activities of Baiona, Raúl Costas; and the president of the Galician Sailing Federation, Manuel Villaverde.

No wind, no race.

The lack of wind forced to suspend today the third day of the Infinitus Rent Trophy, which since last January has been disputed in the bay of Baiona with the J80 as protagonists. The next appointment with the championship will be in 15 days, on Saturday, February 25, starting at 3:00 p.m. in the Bay of Baiona.

Although we were not able to contest the planned sleeves, there was a crew that stood out from the rest. It was that of the girls from the Pazo de Cea who, displaying their good humor and desire to enjoy themselves on the water, brought the carnival back to the regattas, as they had done the previous year. Hey for them!

 

 

 

Third round of the Infinitus Rent Trophy

 

· The J80s competition organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates crosses its equator tomorrow with the third of the six scheduled days

Miguel Lago’s Virazón commands in the standings just one point away from his immediate pursuer, the Portuguese Miudo

The day will be exciting due to how close the middle part of the classification is, with seven boats less than ten points apart

 

The J80 one-design fleet that has been competing in the Monte Real Club de Yates Winter League since last January will face off tomorrow, Saturday, in the third round of the Infinitus Rent Trophy. The sailboats will cross the equator of a competition that gets more interesting every day, with the leading crews separated by just one point and with a large number of boats closely grouped in the intermediate positions.

The three tasks scheduled for the third day will be played, as usual, starting at three in the afternoon in the Bay of Baiona, on a circuit of windward-leeward type buoys. The sailboats will have to complete a double round trip that will last around 45 minutes and in which the fastest starts and the most effective maneuvers when taking the buoys will once again be key to making jumps in the classification.

So far, with two days played, there are three boats that stand out from the rest. They are the Virazón de Miguel Lago, from the Monte Real Club de Yates, in first place as a rival to beat; the Portuguese Miudo from the We Do Sailing club, skippered by Francisca Barros and just one point behind the first; and the Cansino of the Commodore of Monte Real Fernando Yáñez, who is third.

In the middle part of the classification there are seven very tight boats, with just ten points separating the first and last, which augurs great competition in the races and excitement on the water.

Specific actions such as the preparation of a manual of good environmental practices, the construction of a promenade adapted for people with disabilities or the provision of services in several languages, allowed Monte Real to obtain recognition that demonstrates that the services it offers are in line with the needs and expectations of its customers.

The mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal, and the president of Monte Real, José Luis Álvarez, were in charge of raising, at noon at the club’s facilities, the flag with the distinctive, created in 1997 to differentiate and promote establishments related to the tourism.

The mayor of Baiona, Ángel Rodal, highlighted the importance of the Q for Quality, not only at a national level, but also internationally, and congratulated the club for having achieved it.

Don Felipe has been, since 1986, Honorary President of Monte Real , a position that was granted to him when he was still Prince of Asturias, and that he maintains to this day, being King of Spain.

The Prince of Asturias Trophy was also named in his honour, which began to be held in 1986 coinciding with his presence at the Military Naval School of Marín, where, at that time, he was completing his military training. The now King participated in that edition and was about to take victory aboard the Aifos.

Later it would also participate in the editions of 1987, 1988, 1991 and 2005. In 1998, Don Felipe’s boat won, although he did not participate; and in 1995 and 2010, the monarch returned to the club, although not to compete, but to award prizes to the winners.

The last time he visited us was in 2015, to inaugurate the 50th anniversary commemorative exhibition of the MRCYB.

 

 

The MRCYB Sailing School, among the best in Galicia

The Sailing School of the Monte Real Club de Yates is, one more year, among the best Sailing Schools in Galicia, according to the latest data published by the Galician Sailing Federation , relative to 2017.

With a total score of 23,152 points, and only surpassed by the Sailing School of the Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, the Monte Real Sailing School is in second position and is consolidated as a clear benchmark in sailing training in Galicia.

In addition to the dinghy sailing and cruising sailing courses that it offers to the general public (not exclusively to members), it has one of the best Adapted Sailing Schools for people with disabilities in the northwest of the peninsula, and one of the few that works throughout of the whole year.

The MRCYB Sailing School is also one of the only two schools in Galicia approved by the Galician Sailing Federation.

El Virazón is the leader of the Infinitus Rent Trophy

 

Miguel Lago from Vigo led the Virazón crew to the top of the trophy classification organized by the Monte Real Yacht Club

El Miudo by Francisca Barros and El Cansino by Fernando Yáñez remain on the provisional podium of the competition in second and third position

· Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen achieved the best results in the tests held today but the disqualification on the first day hampered its rise

 

Miguel Lago, from Vigo, led the Virazón crew to the top of the Infinitus Rent Trophy classification, which experienced its second day of testing this Saturday in the bay of Baiona.

Miguel Lago will be, without a doubt, one of the outstanding names of the trophy

With a fourth place and a first place in the two races held this afternoon, Virazón managed to climb, with 15 points, to the position of honor, dropping Miudo and Cansino, who were leaders. The boats skippered by Francisca Barros and Fernando Yáñez are now second and third respectively, with 16 and 20 points.

In fourth position, with 21 points, we find Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who was, without a doubt, one of the protagonists of the day. In the two heats held with a northerly wind of about 7 knots on average, he finished first and second, but the disqualification he suffered in the first stage hampered his promotion and he was just on the verge of the provisional podium.

Javier de la Gándara haggled one more day with his usual crew

In the middle part of the classification, barely separated by five points, were Guillermo Blanco’s Meltemi and Rosario García’s La Galera, both from the Real Club Náutico de A Coruña; the Luna Nueva by Juan Luis Tuero, the Pazo de Cea by María Campos and the Namasté by Luis de Mira, who today had J70 sailor Ramón Ojea as a guest on board.

The classification of the Infinitus Rent Trophy is closed by Yago González-Robatto’s Cormorant II, Joaquín Cobelo López’s Marina Real, Enrique Porto’s Ferralemes, Francisco J. Martínez’s SND Cormorant, Bernardo Macedo’s Mondo and Marías-Casas do Roof by Manuel María Cunha.

With the celebration of the second of the six scheduled days, the Infinitus Rent Trophy becomes increasingly exciting, both because of the equality that characterizes the competition of the J80 one-designs, identical to each other and haggling in real time, and because of the intensity that mark crews, always competing at the highest level.

Winter returned to leave a gray day of overcast sky

The next appointment with the Winter League of the Monte Real Yacht Club is on February 10, starting at three in the afternoon, with a program of three windward-leeward regattas, of two laps each.
