It would be a very serious mistake on the part of the Government not to take into account the uniqueness of family navigation (Photo Menorquina Charter)

The Spanish nautical sector is generally concerned about the apparent government disinterest and disinformation to users... this sector has more than 400 sports marines and nautical facilities that can accommodate more than 135,000 ships... that in the last year has experienced an increase in the number of enrollments close to 10%, so that our "boat park" It's in the order of the 200,000 units.

This figure gives an idea of what the sector represents after simple calculations... at the level of job generation and economic movement, both in terms of industrial aspect, at the level of maintenance of the huge fleet of boats, as well as of employees of nautical and marine sports clubs, and the tourist profitability of the facilities...

As a brush in this respect, an event such as the King's Cup can overcome the barrier of 10 million euros of expenditure, between participants and companions... another fact is the charenados of the ships tied in the marines... which is far more than 200 million euros; which has to be at least annual, with the cleaning of the helmets, to show... the nautical maintenance causes thousands and thousands of jobs... with spectacular and essential figures in many areas of the Spanish coast.

The licences for water sports and sports fishing, as reported by the Higher Council for Sports, are above 180,000, and despite this important, there is a high degree of disinformation in the announced "measures to return to new normalcy" of State authorities.

The nautical needs a peculiar treatment, even different... for it would be a very serious mistake to consider that the nautical, is the same as the walk... and that at the sports level, is similar to football or athletics. The nautical is absolutely and radically different, and therefore it must have its own rules within this misfortune that we have had to live.

A ship, it is in a way an apartment with which you can navigate... and then just as a family is allowed to live within it, why is it not allowed to all together to sail on a boat in the waters of your city?... to do so would make it possible to generate wealth, to give work... without prejudice to the safety and the necessary prudence at these serious moments that has taken us to live...

The opposite would be simply a stupidity... that would lead to harm to a business fabric, which is having a very bad time, because of the forced inactivity. By authorizing families to sail on their ships, it will cause maintenance, fuel consumption, patents and paintings, marine fees, management fees, insurance policies, engine development, federal licenses, purchase of necessary materials on board, security elements, guard and sailor salaries, cranes costs, even boat rental... ultimately a lot of wealth in their surroundings.
