The historic Royal Nautical Club of Gran Canaria

The Spanish Association of Nautical Clubs will have its annual meeting this weekend at the headquarters of the Royal Nautical Club of Gran Canaria. The AECN is chaired by the Royal Nautical of La Coruña, who was represented by the divisionary as President Germán Suárez of Pumariega, so it will be another representative of the herculino nautical, who will serve as president by delegation of the current, Fernando Cobián. This is the Vice President of Coruñénico Antonio Nores, a man historically closely linked to navigation in general and to the races in particular, having been one of the major drivers of the Regata de Le Figaró in the 1980s and 1990s.

This AECN was born in the Royal Maritime Club of the Abra-Real Sporting Club in the time of the presidency of Josemanu Loredo Mutiozábal, in 1998, it is also made up of the Coruñés Club, the founder of the Real Maritime Club of the Abra, the Club of Regatas de Alicante, Club Mediterranean of Malaga, Club Maritimo de Melilla, Club Náutico de Palma, Club Náutico de Arrecife, Club Náutico de San Sebastián, Club Náutico de Castellón, Club of the Club of Náutico, Club of the Club of the Maritio de Astoria, Club of the.

It should be noted that from the Association that many call "real nautical clubs" were dropped three of the founders: Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona, Real Club Náutico de Vigo and Real Club Náutico de Sanxenxo, not in conformity with the drift that the AECN took under the chairmanship of former President Germán Suárez de Pumariega, even at many times the Club of Las Arenas, the Maritime of the Abra, clearly distanced itself from it...

The work now of Nores and of Cobian himself, if there is no relief in the presidency, will be to work intensively to recover what has been lost in recent years, as the AECN has limited itself to being a gastronomic meeting of directors of different clubs with their wives, with small strokes of activity, such as the Trophy of Vela Ligera that is organized each year, and this year it has been in luck to the Club Marítimo de Melilla. This is why the above-mentioned clubs that have been released... and others have chosen to withdraw in the face of the ineffectiveness of the Association and the expenses caused by the high registration fee and that of the gastronomic trips of their representatives and in many of their companions, at the meetings to which they were called.
