Presentation of the Euro Laser Masters Cup 2018 XII Trofeu Calella de Palafrugell - Memorial Pitus Jiménez

In the framework of the Barcelona Nautical Hall, the presentation of the sixteenth edition of the Euro Laser Masters Cup organized by the Club Vela Calella, one of the most charismatic tests of the Laser class at the international level, has taken place, which brings together in April the master regatists from all over Europe and from other parts of the world. The event was attended by the Vice President of the Catalan Vela Federation, Joaquin Barenys, the delegate of the Laser Masters class, Seny Jimenez, as well as the co-owner of the organizing club Xavier Mayoral and the president of the club Joan Alsina.

The presentation served to give details of the next edition, which will be held from 12 to 15 April and will serve as a sports and friendly meeting for more than a hundred regatists, which, as Joan Alsina pointed out, 'for four days they live together and enjoy a few days of competition and mutual friendship, through the sport of the candle and by regating in front of our club, always turned to the candle'.

The president of the Club Vela Calella has remembered how in the waters of Calella de Palafrugell have come out many sailing fans and from here the practice of sailing has been encouraged for decades, as evidenced by the number of sailors and regatists who have formed in their sailing school. "From these waters have come regatists that have participated in the regatas Copa América, Vueltas al Mundo, regatists Olympic and globalists," said Alsina.'That is why those who come to Calella de Palafrugell, from all over Europe to participate in this Euro Laser feel at home, because many regatists are reunited here again to share their hobby collectively, in an authentic sailing party '.

The vice president of the Catalan Vela Federation, Joaquin Barenys, also highlighted the special value of this international test, which has for years energized the Laser master class in our country.'A class, which is now in fashion, and that lives in our country a sweet moment with much activity, many regatists, a class with a will to be open to all ages, and physical condition, from the Olympic to the youth '. Barenys thanked clubs like Club Vela Calella, who know how to keep the breath of this test. She also appreciated the work carried out by the Laser Master class delegate, Seny Jimenez, who works with her classmates to energize her in the race fields.

The European Master's Laser Championship 2018 will take place in the waters of the Vigo River from 5 to 11 October, organized by the Vigo Maritime Club, with the support of the Bouzas Maritime Licensing.
