The Monte Real Club de Yates is serving as a refuge to three ships participating in the Rum Route, one of the most prestigious transoceanic races in the world for single-boaters, which this year is meeting its eleventh edition... having announced a fourth... the Service Civique of the French Claire Pruvot that has set way with a water track to the Pontevedresa villa.

After starting last day 4 of the French port of Saint Malo, the bad weather conditions that were found the 123 participants, with winds of up to 40 knots and waves of 6 meters, have forced various ships to make technical stops to solve the problems suffered during the journey and to avoid major damage.

At this time, at the historic Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona, the Edenred of Emmanuel Le Roche, of the class 40, are taken refuge. The French velerista, who competes for the first time on the Rum Road, suffered breaks in his candles and the Galician company Velas Gandara is working to fix them so that he can return to the competition as soon as possible.

The season also boiled another ship of the Class40, the Carac of Louis Duc, which will remain in the marina village of Baiona until it will solve its problems and can return to Guadalupe, something that Duc, which competes for the second time on the Rum Route, hopes to be able to do as quickly as possible.

The third boat that is tied in the Baionese club is the 56-foot Rayon Vert, from Alain Delhumeau, which competes in the Rhum class; and a fourth boat will arrive to Mount Real in the next few hours. It is the Service Civique of the French Claire Pruvot, who informed the club of the need to use its facilities to solve a water line suffered on the boat.

The refugee patterns on Mount Real have informed the club of their intention to leave Baiona tomorrow afternoon, once the weather of rain and wind that is recorded at this time in Galicia, and that keeps much of the Galician coast on orange alert.
