Act in the Spanish Shipyards, Puerto Real del Desafío Spain Copa América 1992

Total success of the new section of DIGITAL NAUTICA "MOEBIUS," which is dedicating in his first work, to perhaps the most important character in the Spanish sailing world of recent decades: José Luis Suevos Barrero, better known colloquially for "El Milmi."

For the majority it is assumed that Suevos was a fundamental piece for the modernization and the great development, of the 80's and 90's above all... by the force of being honest and not leaving anyone out of this "picture of honor" historical, it is necessary to remember Federico Arias who created the Regata Vuelta a España in union with José Ramón Guimerans and Alfonso Jordana, among others... whose work marked a before and a later for the sailing in our country.

It is our idea to continue working to ensure that what happened in those years is not forgotten... that it is written and well written... and we are being animated, by the way much more than expected.

There have been few, those who have pyromed the memory of "Moebius..." but it has a trap, because behind this pseudonym that was born on the sports pages of the dean of the Spanish press, of Faro de Vigo in the 1980s, there are many colleagues and friends who are collaborating in the drafting of these deliveries.

We have published five, and we assure you that it has not been easy... we have a lot of information, we have a lot of documentary evidence... but what we do not want is to go through in the friendly cachondeo with José Luis and ridicule his great work, or to let go of "secrets," which are that, that could do more harm than well to see him. This would not only be unfair, but it deserved the greatest of the reprobations.

So far we have achieved only congratulations and more congratulations, and we believe that this is the way. We have been asked insistently by some to dedicate ourselves to another of the great, to Pedro Campos, also space and to explain in detail what happened in that double Spanish challenge for the American Cup of the 90... that at first had two options that ended up joining: Monte Real de Baiona and Real Club Náutico of Valencia... we have also been asked to talk about the privileged situation of the Galician pattern in the world of elite sailing...

We promise you that we will touch all the points, with the greatest delicacy and without taking sides either by one or the other, as is our obligation... what is clear is that what happened in those unforgettable years, which culminated in Spain reaching the Copa América and allowing itself to defeat Australia in the first manga of the Louis Vuitton... cannot be left in oblivion: this Good Friday, the sixth delivery of "WITH THE MILMI LLEGO THE REVOLUTION TO THE VELA!!
