The "real" Valencian licenses are the most numerous among the territorial ones... even though at the level of the valid licenses at the state level they are the second in terms of number for the Spanish

They are the cold data of the statistics offered in its annual report by the Higher Council of Sports... the number of sailing licences has passed from 930 in far away 1945, to just over 40,000 in 2018... in total the number of regatists has increased almost 44 times, which obviously a priori seems to be derived from excellent federal work.

But if we look at the data in detail we find that the year in which the number of licences reached the maximum registration was in 2007... just as we reached the top of progress and the economy began to make water. 13 years ago, the number of licences of the entire Spanish candle was 54,715, or the same thing was achieved by multiplying the number of the start of the control, about 60 times.

However, it should be taken into account for these results that Spain had just under 27 million inhabitants in 1945, and that in 2018 it had more than 46... which would lead to a successful reduction of about 40% depending on the number of inhabitants. It is very curious to analyze the historical: the first year that the 1000 licences are exceeded is in 1967 when the 1480 are reached.

The target of the ten thousand is reached, in 1973... the registration is 10,050... and it is 1981 when they reach 21,542. The pull of the proximity of Barcelona 92, causes a strong increase in 1991, when 31,146 are totaled and a new record is achieved in 1999 when it reaches the 48,134 federal licenses... being 2007 the year of the historic peak: 54,715... from that year only in 2012 they are over 50,000 and from there until now continued down with a single favorable peak in 2017 with 44,244... from there as called Les Luthiers "downhill in the roundabout." Since 2007 we have fallen by no less than 26% in this of the licences, which is simply a barbarity.

(*) The payment of 7 euros per licence from the Spanish Territories, in not a few cases causes not all the cake to be declared... especially for those athletes who do not compete outside their autonomous community... because in this case the official recognition of the Spanish is absolutely necessary to participate in an official competition... on this subject there is much discussion and while the Spanish says that the law loves him... the autonomous ones say the same. This situation is another factor to be taken into account, and hence the data from Madrid (good of Santander) speak of a total of 16,074 licences, while the Council has significantly higher data... a real chanchuero conflict, to which no one dares to put the label. The Babel Tower of the Federations.
