Baiona awards the winners of the 38th Prince of Asturias Trophy

· In his first participation in the Príncipe de Asturias, Nuno Neves’ Syone Panther from Portugal took victory both in the ABANCA ORC 1-2 class and in the overall overall, while Francisco Edreira’s Urbapaz revalidated the title and hung the gold in the Aceites Abril ORC 3-4 class

· In the Gadis ORC 5, Volvo Autesa Open 1 and SH Robotic Open 2 classes, the winners were Cinco Islas Albariño, Salseiro and Argalleiro

· The Hotel Princesa Yaiza from the Canary Islands won in the Solventis J80 class, reaffirming itself as one of the favorites for the World Cup; and the Tutatis de Marta Ramada won the Gestilar Ladies Cup

The Prince of Asturias Trophy already has new winners. In a most complicated day due to the absence and instability of the wind, the event organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates and the Escuela Naval Militar with the sponsorship of ABANCA closed this Sunday crowning the winners of its thirty-eighth edition .

The conditions were, without a doubt, the great protagonists of the day. In the Cíes Islands area, where the ORC 1-2, 3-4 and J80 classes competed, and with a southeasterly component wind with hardly any pressure, the Race Committee raised the postponement flag at twelve o’clock on noon, the time at which the last tests were scheduled to begin. As the hours passed, things did not improve and finally at half past three in the afternoon the third and last day of competition came to an end. The Open participants, ORC 5 and the Figaro of the Gestilar Ladies Cup had more luck, who were able to add the last sets to their scoreboard.

The Syone Panther wins the ABANCA ORC class 1-2 in its first participation in the Príncipe

Victory for the Portuguese Syone Panther of Nuno Neves in the ABANCA ORC 1-2 class. In its first participation in the Príncipe de Asturias Trophy, the Lisbon Naval Association boat managed to proclaim itself the winner both in its category and in the ORC absolute general thanks to a great performance on the regatta field, which gave it an advantage of one point over the second classified, the Aceites Abril of the brothers Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal of the Real Club Náutico de Vigo.

This turnaround in the final classification (the Syone Panther rose to first position, making Pérez Canal’s men fall to second) despite not having held any test this Sunday, was motivated by a request submitted by the Portuguese crew for the review of the results by sections of the last regatta of the championship, a test that was finally canceled and whose resolution benefited the Neves team.

In addition to the second position in this class, Aceites Abril took the North Zone Spain Cup for ORC 1-2, which was put into play in the Baionese competition.

Urbapaz was proclaimed winner in the Aceites Abril ORC 3-4 class

In the classification of the Aceites Abril ORC 3-4 class, the victory remained in the hands of Francisco Edreira’s Urbapaz from Club Náutico Cabanas, who thus revalidated the victory obtained in 2022, with a point advantage over the second classified, the Sailway of Ramón Ojea from the Canido Maritime Club. Behind, the review of results that had given third place to Adegas Terrae led by Vicente Cid, favored the team from Club Marítimo Carrumeiro Raygrass III led by José Antonio Núñez, who finally climbed to third place on the podium.

Second coastal race for Open and ORC 5

The three categories that had a coastal one on their program for this Sunday – the Gadis ORC 5, Volvo Autesa Open 1 and SH Robotic Open 2 classes – played a seven-mile course.

In Gadis ORC 5 there were no surprises and the Cinco Islas Albariño of the Club Náutico de Beluso skippered by Iñaki Carbajo won again with full authority, proclaiming himself the winner of the Príncipe de Asturias ahead of Boeiro de Jaime García (RCN Vigo) and Aquilón de Roberto Telle (MRCYB), second and third respectively.

In Volvo Autesa Open 1, the final victory was awarded to Manuel Blanco’s Salseiro (RCN Coruña). They were followed overall by José Alejandro Martínez’s Edge (RCN Rodeira) in second place and Joao Tourigo’s Five (Club We Do Sailing) was third.

There were no changes at the top of the SH Robotic Open 2 general standings and Fernando Otero’s Argalleiro (RCM Aguete) finished at the top of the final standings ahead of Fernando Rey’s Albarellos (MRCYB) and Alberto González’s Villa de Marín -Cela (CNR Marín), second and third respectively.

In this category, as every year thanks to the support of the Department of Social Policy of the Xunta, the boat of the adapted sailing school of Monte Real with the students of the Juan María de Nigrán Center, the Bellatrix, also competed.

Victory for the Canarian Hotel Princesa Yaiza in Solventis J80

More than tight was this thirty-eighth edition of the Prince in the Solventis J80 class with the first three teams separated by a single point. With the last blank day, the Hotel Princesa Yaiza by Rayco Tabarés of the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife became the new champion of the Baionese event this Sunday. A result that reaffirms him as one of the great favorites for the World Cup that will be held on the same regatta course in just two weeks. The second position finally went to the Solintal of Ignacio Camino of the Real Club Marítimo de Santander and third the Coruña Kotablue Fibra Coruña 14/18 of Miguel Fernández (RCN Coruña).

Marta Ramada’s Tutatis wins the Gestilar Ladies Cup

The fleet from Figaros that was playing the twenty-seventh edition of the Gestilar Ladies Cup was also able to compete in the Bay of Baiona regatta course with a light easterly wind that allowed the regatta committee to honk for the last two races of the Prince of Asturias Trophy.

Marta Ramada’s Tutatis, who sails under the Monte Real pennant, took the plunge and won two first places this Sunday, thus making the team the winner of the prestigious women’s event. They also did so with a five point advantage over the second classified, the Erizana sailors from the Real Club Náutico Puerto de Pollensa. Third was Carlota Hernández’s Serralleiras (MRCYB).

The delivery of trophies, final touch

Once the competition was over, the awarding of trophies put the finishing touch to the event. In addition to distributing the awards to the winners of the Prince of Asturias Trophy and the Gestilar Ladies Cup, during the ceremony the Conde de Barcelona Don Juan de Borbón award was presented to the best Portuguese crew in the regatta, which went to the Syone Panther, and a special mention to the students of the adapted sailing school of the Juan María de Nigrán Center.

A great day of regattas in the waters of Baiona for the J80 fleet that is taking part in the Gestilar Autumn League. The penultimate stage of the circuit organized by Monte Real caused new changes this Saturday in the general classification, which is once again led by Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto.

As the reports pointed out, the wind was soft but strong enough for the regatta committee to complete two tests in the bay of Baiona, now adding a total of eight sleeves in the league overall.

The first of the day, which started at around 3:15 in the afternoon, began with the dominance of Alboroto, which reached the first mark of the route with a notable advantage over the rest of the fleet. In the second half of the tour, however, Manuel María Cunha’s Marías squeezed and managed to win ahead of Ameneiro’s men after a tough one-on-one between the two teams. Third place, for its part, went to Joaquim Moreira’s Portuguese 4J’S, which debuted this Saturday in the Autumn League.

Little changed at the head of the fleet during the second test of the day. Marías once again demonstrated his potential and did so by adding a new victory to his locker. With this, the team has accumulated four consecutive victories, although not having competed in the first matches places it in the middle of the table.

Behind, the second position of the round was once again occupied by Alboroto while third place went to Solventis Ribadeo, which on this occasion had Bruno Gago at the controls.

With these results, Ameneiro’s men recover and settle in the overall lead with a six-point lead over second place, Solventis Ribadeo, ahead of the last round of the competition. The third drawer continues to be for Francisco “Chisco” Catalán’s Bica, who added two eighths this Saturday to be eight points behind the silver and tied with Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino, who continues fourth and with all the options of getting on the podium on the final day.

The next stage for the J80 will be in two weeks, on Saturday, December 17. It will be the last one on the circuit and the one in charge of defining an exciting Autumn League in which more than twenty monotypes have gathered.

The Gestilar J80 Autumn League faces the start of the final stretch this Saturday in Baiona

  • The Monte Real one-design circuit celebrates an exciting penultimate stage this Saturday with the top three classified separated by only four points
  • Alberto García’s Solventis Ribadeo faces the appointment as provisional leader after storming the first position in the last match played
  • If the conditions allow it, the race committee will give the starting horn from three in the afternoon for a maximum of three new sleeves.

Maximum emotion in the Gestilar Autumn League. With the dispute of the penultimate test scheduled for this Saturday starting at three in the afternoon, the J80 fleet faces the final stretch of the circuit organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates with everything to decide between the first classified teams.

After the last tests were held last weekend, the general classification turned around for the leading teams. Juan Carlos Ameneiro’s Alboroto, who had led the table since the first day, failed to maintain his position and went on to occupy the second drawer of the provisional podium behind Solventis Ribadeo by Alberto García, who with two brilliant second places scored managed to climb two positions to overtake Ameneiro’s team.

Behind, two and two four points behind Alboroto and Solventis Ribadeo respectively, Francisco “Chisco” Catalán’s Bica will defend third place in the Autumn League this Saturday. The fourth position, for its part, is occupied by Fernando Yáñez’s Cansino, and he also does so with options to fight for one of the podium positions.

With these results and the first four teams separated by only nine points, everything indicates that this Saturday there will be another exciting day of regattas with a fleet ready to fight every round and every result.

As of today, the weather reports forecast a day of sun and light wind from the northeast, so the regatta committee headed by Carlos Villar will try to give the horn for a maximum of three races in the waters of the Vigo estuary.

Thus, if conditions allow it, the fleet made up of about twenty teams will cast off at Monte Real to face the first start starting at three in the afternoon.

Although everything seemed to indicate that this would be a first day with light wind conditions, finally the Regatta Committee was able to start the competition in a timely manner with an average intensity of about twelve knots both in the ORC regatta field and in the one-design regatta field , being able to easily complete the testing program planned for today.

Thus, at 3:00 p.m. the ORC fleet began the first start procedure for its three divisions, with a windward-leeward format route and the start line located in front of the Estelas Islands.

In the Nacexa ORC 2 category, the Príncipe de Asturias Trophy begins with a very tight overall with the first five boats separated by only four points. Julio Rodríguez’s Magical and Malalo Bermúdez de Castro’s Solventis shared the two partial victories at stake, although in the end it was Rodríguez’s who managed to lead the standings after scoring fourth place in the second round and scoring five points total.

Behind, and tied on points with the leader, second place is occupied by Rui Ramada’s Yess Too. The local team, one of the most consistent in the fleet on this first day, signed a second and third place in the two races held, achieving an advantage of only one point over Solventis, which is third with a fifth and a first .

They are closely followed in fourth and fifth position by Diego López’s Mirfak and José Manuel Pérez’s Arroutado, each accumulating a partial podium in their locker.

For his part, Fran Edreira’s Cachete had no rival today in class oils April ORC 3 and took the win in the two races held, achieving a three-point lead over José Luis Alonso’s Antelope-Kahaway, who added a second and a third that allowed him to take second place overall on this first day of race.

In third place is Ramón Ojea’s Bosch Service Solution with eight points. After scoring a sixth in the first test of the day, Ojea’s men finished the day with a second place that allowed them to take the provisional third position.

In the Autesa ORC 4 category, leadership went to Vicente Cid’s Deep Blue 2.0, who scored the two victories of the day both in compensated time and in real time to place himself at the top of the podium with a total of two points. Behind, Luis García’s Unus sealed two second places and placed second with a four-point advantage over the third-placed team, Luis Mª Pérez’s Balea Dous, who made his debut scoring a fifth and a third today.

In addition to the Prince of Asturias Trophy, these three ORC categories will also compete this weekend for the Juan Sebastián Elcano Award, which defines the best classified team of the three classes as a whole. At the moment, after the dispute on the first day, the Magical is at the top of the table with the same points as the second classified, Yess Too, and one over Solventis, who is third. Anything can happen in the general standings, and with two days to go and only three points difference between the top five finishers, the results could still turn around.

For their part, the one-designs also heard today the starting gun of the Prince of Asturias in very good conditions during the three tests in charge of defining the first leaders of the Solventis J80 and two for the Gestilar Ladies Cup fleet.

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen was the best in Solventis J80 , the largest fleet of the seven participating in this edition of the Prince of Asturias Trophy. De la Gándara and his team added two first and one second and were placed at the top of the podium with three points of rent over Ignacio Camino’s Solintal, which is second with a fourth, a first and a second in their locker. Behind, with fourteen points, Ricardo Díaz-Munio’s Matraco completes the provisional podium with a sixth, a fifth and a third place in the three disputed races.

The day was more even for the crews of the Gestilar Ladies Cup. While waiting for several protests to be resolved -the Committee was still resolving several at the time of writing this information-, the Fígaro skippered by Marta Ramada, the Erizana Gestilar, is currently in first position with a third and a partial victory and tied on points with the second classified team, Pilar Casares’s Tutatis Gestilar. Those from Casares scored two second places today, which allows them for the moment to obtain a three-point lead over Conchi de Pedro’s Silleiro Gestilar, who closed the drawer after scoring the first victory of the day and a sixth in the second and last chance.

Tomorrow, the second day with the entire fleet competing and the traditional presentation of the Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards

Tomorrow, Saturday, the second day of regattas in the bay with the entire fleet. Starting at 12:00 noon, the five categories that have been thrown into the water today will be joined by another two tomorrow: Gadis ORC 5 and SH Robotics ORC Open. It will be precisely the Open division that will have the participation of the Adapted Sailing boat, a team made up of sailors with functional diversity from the Monte Real Adapted Sailing School thanks to the support of the Department of Social Policy of the Xunta de Galicia.

In total, 70 boats competing in one of the most anticipated events of the season.

Once the day is over, the Baiona club will host the prestigious Terras Gauda National Sailing Awards at 8:00 p.m., in which the most outstanding sailors and teams of last season will be awarded.

Thus, after a few minutes of waiting around the scheduled time for the wind to finish picking up in the Bay of Baiona, the Regatta Committee honked the start at 11:15 a.m. for a route that would take the fleet to the mark del Camouco –previously passing Carallones, La Negra and Cíes- and turning south to take the finish line located finally in front of the Cíes Islands.

The MRW Trophy inaugurates the return to competition in Baiona

  • The event, which will bring the Galician A Dos Cruise Championship into play, will bring together a powerful fleet of more than 30 ships to compete in the first event on the calendar after the break caused by the Covid-19 health crisis.
  • Starting and finishing in the Bay of Baiona, the fleet will have to complete a route of about 35.5 miles in total.
  • In addition to deciding the new regional champion of the class, the test will pay tribute to the president of Monte Real for more than 40 years, Don Rafael Olmedo, and will score points for the Rías Baixas A Dos Circuit.

Competition sailing is back in Galicia and the Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona will be in charge of inaugurating the regatta calendar after the break caused by the Covid-19 health crisis. This coming Saturday, June 27, the club from Baiona will celebrate the MRW Trophy, a test that will put the Galician A Dos Cruiser Championship at stake and will pay tribute to Don Rafael Olmedo, who was president of Monte Real for more than 40 years. The event hopes to exceed the figure of thirty boats fighting to win the regional title of the 2020 season, which will also score points for the Rías Baixas A Dos Circuit.

The test will officially begin on Friday with the safety checks, registration confirmation and the skippers’ meeting convened for 8:00 p.m. Already on Saturday, at 11:00 a.m., the Regatta Committee will give the starting honk in the bay of Baiona for a route of approximately 35.5 miles, which will take the fleet to the Camouco beacon passing through those of Carallones , La Negra and Cíes before heading back to the bay. Although everything will depend on the wind conditions, everything indicates that the regatta will last until late in the afternoon.

Among those registered, a whole cast of high-level teams and sailors who promise to put on a show on the regatta field. Names like the Pairo with Luis Bugallo at the cane; the Oh Carmela! of Juan Martínez, current Galician runner-up in the class, or the Bon III of Víctor Carrión, who took the bronze in the last edition of the championship, will be some of those who fight for the precious Galician title.

The J80 fleet will not be missing either, although they usually compete in real time, they will be able to choose in this test to do it in compensated time to fight for the Galician title. Javier de la Gándara’s “Okofen” and Nano Yáñez’s “Cansino”, winner of the last edition in its class, are among the monotypes registered to date.

This is the ninth consecutive year that the Royal Galician Sailing Federation has delegated the organization of one of the most demanding regattas of the season to the club from Baiona and, as usual, the event can be followed in real time via mobile or computer on the website of the Monte Real Yacht Club.

Once the regatta is over, the awards ceremony will be held at 8:00 p.m. on the club’s terrace.

The appointment, how could it be otherwise, will have all the security and prevention measures set by the General Secretariat for Sport and the RFGV to minimize the chances of contagion from Covid-19.
