· The Baionese club carried out a pilot navigation test with a group of students from the Panxón (Nigrán) Special Education Center with serious behavioral problems

· The objective of the initiative was to verify how going out sailing can benefit children who have not managed to adapt to traditional education in a very positive way

· The balance of the activity has encouraged the club to seek support to promote a specific program of outings to the sea that allows preventing and treating these disorders

There are currently in Galicia, enrolled in different centers throughout the community, about 8,500 children with behavioral or personality problems, attention deficit or hyperactivity (ADHD). Most of them, 90 percent, are children diagnosed with ADHD, and the remaining 10 percent, according to recent data from the Xunta de Galicia, are affected by serious behavioral disorders.

It is thus called a set of behaviors that imply a persistent opposition to authority figures and social norms, an attitude that leads to serious problems of coexistence with parents, teachers, classmates and, in general, with a large number of people. If they arise in isolation, they do not usually generate too many incidents, but the problem is when these behaviors are maintained over time, intensify with age or lead to aggressive behavior, school absenteeism, drug use or theft.

In the prevention and treatment of these disorders, sport has always been considered a very important factor, since it allows reinforcing positive behaviors and suppressing bad habits. And it is in this field, and more specifically in that of nautical sports, that the Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona has begun to work.

After years of working hand in hand with associations of people with functional diversity through its Adapted Sailing School and thanks to the support of administrations such as the Xunta de Galicia, institutions such as Fundación Repsol and companies such as ABANCA, Monte Real now assumes a new challenge, that of helping people with serious behavioral disorders. And the first step it has taken on this path has been to carry out a pilot test of an exit to the sea with a group of students from the Panxón Center for Special Education (Nigrán).

Led by two coaches from the club’s Sailing School, eight students between the ages of 10 and 17 from the Panxón CEE, accompanied by several of their teachers, got on a pneumatic motorboat to explore the Bay of Baiona and participate in several educational activities at points such as the San Xoán beacon, the La Porta channel or the Serralleiras islets.

They used nautical charts, allied compasses, mooring grapples, lead lines, ropes and other nautical elements; They sailed through the bay, recognized the Val Miñor from the sea, visited the facilities of Monte Real and reacted in a very positive and proactive way to the scheduled dynamics.

The benefit of the activity was reflected in the subsequent evaluation of coaches and teachers, who showed their satisfaction with the development of the activity and a clear interest in continuing the pilot test with a more extensive outing program.

And it is precisely on this project that Monte Real is now working, which will try to obtain support in order to extend the proposal and involve the largest possible number of centers of this type in it. What the club is looking for is that the nautical sport, and more specifically the sport of sailing, helps to educate, strengthen, offer new resources and tools to people with serious behavioral problems.

The development of emotional intelligence and resilience, the improvement of interpersonal and intrapersonal communication, the acquisition of skills in planning and responsibility, the increase in decision-making capacity and motivation, the exchange of positive experiences through coexistence or teamwork are some of the benefits that sailing can offer this type of person.

Adverse weather forced the opening of the J80 Winter League, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates, to be suspended for the second time.

· After a failed first attempt due to the absence of wind, the strong gusts recorded this afternoon prevented the inauguration of the classification again

· Before starting the race that was finally cancelled, the fleet observed a minute of silence in memory of sailor Gerardo Alonso

 

The weather once again played tricks on the J80s participating in the Winter League organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates this Saturday by preventing them, once again, from opening the scoring.

After a first failed attempt due to the absence of wind on what was to be the first day on January 26, the strong gusts recorded this afternoon again forced the committee to suspend the regatta day.

The cancellation occurred once the first leg had started, which was started with a wind of about 17 knots. The jota undertook the route normally but the arrival of a shower brought gusts of over 30 knots and the fleet began to suffer.

Problems were reported in several boats, even abandoning one of them, and the committee decided first to cancel the test and finally, and after verifying that the situation was not going to improve, the regatta day.

A day that began with a minute of silence in memory of sailor Gerardo Alonso, who died last weekend after a long illness; and that will resume next February 23.

 

· The fleet competing in the Monte Real Club de Yates competition will try to open the scoring after a failed first day due to poor wind

· The three windward-leeward type tests scheduled for the occasion will be held from three in the afternoon in the bay of Baiona

· Before starting the regatta, a minute of silence will be observed in memory of the sailor Gerardo Alonso, a regular in this league who died a few days ago

Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen will not compete this time as they are in Lanzarote fighting for the J80 Champions Cup

Tomorrow, Saturday, the second day -the first scoring day- of the J80 class Winter League will be held, organized by the Monte Real Club de Yates in the Bay of Baiona for the Galician one-design fleet.

The participating crews will try to open the scoring after a failed first day due to the wind, which did not blow with sufficient intensity and forced the scheduled tests to be suspended.

In this case, the forecasts point to the opposite. They forecast winds above 15 knots that could approach 30 at times, which would add excitement to the one-design regatta day.

The first starting horn will be heard at three in the afternoon, just after the fleet observes a minute of silence in memory of sailor Gerardo Alonso, a regular in this league who died a few days ago after a long fight against the illness he suffered from .

The J80s will compete for the first scores in three double-lap windward-leeward courses in which sailors of the stature of Miguel Lago will be measured, leading Virazón; or the Portuguese 420 vice-champion, Marta Ramada, aboard the Miúdo.

Faces will be seen with regulars from the Monte Real competition, such as the club’s commodore, Fernando Yáñez, at El Cansino; Asturian Juan Luis Tuero at the controls of Luna Nueva; the secretary of the J80 class in Galicia and leader of the Namasté, Luis de Mira; Bernardo Macedo in the Mondo or Javier Martínez Valente in the Cunichán, among others.

The one that will not be on this occasion will be Javier de la Gándara’s Okofen, who is in Lanzarote disputing the J80 Champions Cup.

· The Minister of Health of the Xunta de Galicia Jesús Vázquez Almuíña presented the president of the club José Luis Álvarez with the diploma that recognizes the participation of Monte Real in the Galician Network of Smoke-Free Ports

Dear friends and friends:

One more year is about to end and it is leaving behind events, experiences and endless memories that will form part of the history of our club.

From the Board of Directors that I am honored to preside over, I would like to send you our most cordial congratulations this Christmas and our best wishes for the coming New Year 2019.

From here we would like to express our recognition to all the sailors, from the most novice to the most experienced, who with their participation in the different competitions, have kept the club’s flag at the top.

Also to the sponsors who, over and over again with their collaboration and support, continue to make the most emblematic regattas of Monte Real great; and to the media that, with their great work, bring to society such an extraordinary sport as sailing.

Everything we do would not be possible without the efforts of each of the club’s collaborators and staff, whose daily work we feel very proud of.

Merry Christmas to all!
