Rafael Tapas the new commander-in-chief of the Nautico... on the José Antonio Portela and Canducho Correa command bridge with the common objective of once and for all solving the historic economic crisis of one of the most important nautical clubs

He was an excellent basketball player in his youth from that legendary Vigo Students who played several promotion promotions to the Spanish Honour Division: fine, temperate, with a prodigious waist, he was an alero with style and above all with much effectiveness in the shooting... qualities that will be needed in this new facet within the world of sport... for he is already the twenty-third president of one of the most important nautical clubs in Spain: the Real Nautical Club of Vigo.

With a solid economic formation, and a component of one of the most traditional Viguese families, Rafael Tapas has had to replace former President Tito Ballesta, also an excellent sportsman even though in this case he also came to compete in elite categories... the equivalent of the current 2nd B, also was a good waterpolist, swimmer and even played well with a hand. Ballesta, a very good manager, had to decline to continue at the head of the Club, simply because of a serious family problem, which left it no choice, very much to its regret.

The difficult economic situation of the Nautico is no secret, in the full competition of creditors with a debt over EUR 6 million and a social mass in decline. The solution to get a cut of at least 60% and to be able to reduce debt below 3 million. The steps seem to be the right ones since Ballesta took over the reins of the Club, and in this work Tapas was the strong man of the former president, hence this board of directors will be a continuist. They stand out among the management components with a solid training and experience in level business efforts, case of José Antonio Portela and Cándido "Canducho" Correa... completing the Miguel Cameáns, Ismael Alonso, María Luisa Urcullu, Belén Estévez and Margarita Aldeazábal.
