To be effective a candidate has to count on at least 15% of the vouchers of the assembly... 18 supports

Possibly when Julia Casanueva was a girl in the 60's, in those stations adorned by the beautiful voices of Joaquín Prat or Matias Prats, more than once she heard in her house the unforgettable radio series, that is very long, of "Ama Rosa..." because the truth of having started the electoral procedure of the Royal Spanish Federation of Vela so late has led us to a slow pace outside the logical and especially desirable.

First the song announced that it would never be presented to be elected after the "motion of censure" who unbanished José Angel Rodríguez, and more than he announced he promised with "p" of promise... saying that of "little bird Jesus."... that he said when he had not yet proved the prebends that a strong federation such as the sailing federation gave... nor when he had traveled to every train on account of the Spanish Olympic Committee to Brazil... nor when he was fully involved in the fastidious acts of the meeting of the international sailing federation in Barcelona.

Julia would ask: How silly I would be if I didn't stay in the poltrone!, and said, done here to leave nothing at all. In the face of the lack of speech of the santanderin, a Catalan pro with an enormous prestige in the world of sailing has presented his candidacy. Turró doesn't have to prove anything to anyone anymore, but it can help a lot for our candle to regain the glory of old. The path to the desired victory, by not a few directors, technicians, athletes and clubs, of the Catalan is going to be complicated and above all long... here there is also no small enemy and the Casanueva has been enrochanted promising to give war to the former president of the Royal National Cruise Association. The bets as it is logical have left brazenly in favor of Turró, which has many strong support throughout Spain, but the north is gradually hastening the differences, and in honor of the truth, the "fish is not all sold"Not a lot less! Technically it is possible that not only Turró and Casanueva are in the front line of fire... for this both the two apparent candidates and others will have to present vouchers representing at least 15% of the Assembly.

After the election process was announced by the outgoing President on 3 November, the final proclamation of nominations to the General Assembly was reached on 27 January:
