"Oils Abril" of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, patronized by Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal, was proclaimed on the afternoon of the winning Saturday of the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas that has organized the Nautico Vigués in its 57 edition, which is the regata decana in stages of the Spanish candle and which is immersed in the Circuíto Galician de Regatas Mar de Maeloc, along with the Regata de las Rías Alta and the Trofeo Finisterre.

The "Bosch Service Solutions" of the Canido Maritime Club of Ramón Ojea that has a crew full of canterans was overcome in extreme, to the point that both ships equated to points, but since "April" had two first positions in the first two stages, it made the outflow undone in their favor.

In the official presentation held at the Dársena Pública Deportiva of the Harbour Authority of Vigo, on Monday, the mayor of Vigo Abel Caballero presented to the Organization a unique proposal: that the fourth stage Vigo-Vigo be held if possible with a tour "Return to Cíes." The glove that threw out the maximum olive-growing regior, was collected by the excellent athlete with Lucan roots and based in Vigo: Gonzalo Araújo, who promised that he would do what he could, as it seemed to him an excellent idea.

Araújo immediately got to work, obtaining the required permissions of the Maritime Captains... and the success was of those who will not forget in many years: the exit was faced to Vigo in plan urban exit, the fleet would be called to the south of Cis to turn the first beacon by leaving it to starboard... from there to the north to take the next one by port and return to Vigo... all with wind of 12 knots from the northwest inside of the river of Vigo and almost 20 on the outside... spectacular! The chronicles say everything... because the fleet was very grouped from its 23 miles of tour, with the Baltic 56 "Bionic Elk" of the Club de Mar de San Amaro who made the best chrono: 03.18.22... with an excellent average of 7 knots. Em compensated the winner was "Solventis" by Alberto and Pablo Moro of Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona, with the coruñés Malalo Bermudez de Castro to the cane.

In Class 1 therefore partial victory of "Solventis" ahead of "April" and "Arroutado," with a "Pairo Yes Too" that was retreating. In the two "Antilope" of the Gijón Bay Club he gave the bell and beat the "Bosch" who was second... and thus left without the absolute victory of Ramón Ojea. Third was the "Juancarria3" of the Pontevedres Pérez Olmedo. This group ended with the victory of the "Bosch," followed by the Asturians and the "Cachete" of Fran Edreira of the Club Marítimo La Penela de Cabanas... great race of the Ferrolterra.

In class 3 excellent once again the "Deep Blue," which won the stage and class, ahead of "Maracaná" of the Nautical Club of Panxón and the Orensian "The Black Mockery" of the Castrelo of Miño. In the 4 final victory of the "Santiago Roma Rías Baixas" of the Beluso Nautico, "Squid2" of Portonovo and "Mar de Frades.

In the 5 victory of the "North Piko," followed by the "Orlando" of Boiro and the "Youkounkoun" of Portonovo. Among the Open the best "Txole" of Baiona, the Baltic 56 Coruñés "Bionic Elk" and the "Salseiro" of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, which was from less to more... closing the class classifications of the "monotypes" where "Pecas" of Willy Alonso was the best, followed by "Maija" and "Pazo de Cea," both of the Royal Mount.

In the coming days, the Organization of the circuit Mar de Maeloc, for which they have scored the three oldest series of Galicia, which organize the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña and that of Vigo, will make public the official results of how the combined general was. In the last hour of yesterday this edition of the Rías Baixas was closed... in the hope that the Covid19 will be history and the Basque-Galicia Regatta can be celebrated, which will bring to the Regatas Mar de Maeloc an important fleet of the Cantabrian to compete.

The Eman 37 "Bosch Service Solutions" by Ramón Ojea of the Marítimo Club of Canido is the new leader of the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas that organizes the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, after celebrating on Friday the third stage between the beautiful Coruñese marina villa of A Pobra do Caramiñal and the city of Vigo. The Vigués ship overturned the "Aprilos de Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal that is now second in the general and that retains the first position in its Class. For the closing day Saturday with an attractive and new Vigo- Vigo that will start at 12: 00 in the morning... with 23 miles of tour for the" pure bleeding "and four less for the cruises... and promises to be a whole show.

The third stage began with a waiting of almost an hour in the river of Arousa due to lack of wind. At the edge of the one and a half of the afternoon a breeze of 7 to 8 knots from the north-west set everything in motion... causing really competitive and very equal exits... as said in the "argot" regatta: in a fan.

In an hour the head of the race was already coming out of the incomparable Arousan ria, heading to the Cis islands, always with "Pairo Yes Too" in real head that would end up being the fastest in Vigo with a chrono of 04.12.42... just like the Coruñés "Bionic Elk" to the same between the cruises, with a record of 04.20.38. It must be remembered that the blood puses completed almost 5 miles more than the slower ships.

The test became a quick drop leaving Sálvora, Ons, and turning in Cabo Home to port to enter the viguese era... this circumstance benefited the "Alpega" Mumm 30, which was patrolled by Iñigo Arriola from the Real Club Marítimo del Abra de Getxo and was made with the victory, ahead of "Abrile Oils," an excellent "Arroutado" by José Manuel Pérez de Portosín, a "Solventis" which would later be removed when he recognized that he had taken a "saltado" with the "Luis and the" Guireo "with the great" and the "Luis of the" Puzúré "(not").

Everything was quiet in theory... because the Bosch came in the fog, much faster than expected, just like the Class 2 pointers. The best in compensation in this group the "Antilope" of the Bay of Gijón that won the stage in its class and in the general... second was the Elan 37 of Ramón Ojea... third the "Cachete" of the Coruñés Fran Edreira, fourth the pontevedrés "Juancaría 3..." all outnumbered the "Aprilos" that was left of the eighth in the general - taking 6 points "Bosch Service Solutions" that was made with the leadership... and that puts the Canal in a very difficult position... "with the last stage..." and "10" It's not going to be easy for the ship of the Canido Maritime Club to lose its place of privilege... but while there is life there is hope, and this Rias can still give us many surprises.

In class 3 victory of "Maracaná" followed by an amazing "Deep Blue" and the ship of Castrelo de Miño "La Mocka Negra..." in this category the leader the Viguese ship, the "Deep Blue" of Vicente Cid. In class 4 last Friday, not all the participants had entered, as in 5. In real, the winners were respectively "Squid2" by Francisco Lusquiño and the "Piko Norte" by José María Castro.

In Open victory of the giant of Baiona "Txole" by Ignacio Otamendi, and in Monotypes today he won the "Maija" by Ignacio Zulueta of Mount Real Club of Yates by Baiona.

New victory of the "Oils Abril" by Luis Pérez Canal and Jorge Pérez Canal as tactical. The Orensian ship that competes for the Náutico de Vigo with this new victory becomes the great favorite of the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas, after the second stage has been held between the ports of Commud in Pontevedra and of A Pobra do Caramiñal in the south of the province of A Coruña. For the third stage Friday, to Vigo who is considered the "queen," for its 30 miles. The first of the exits will be at 12: 00 in the morning in the central area of the Ria de Arousa.

Little wind in the river of Pontevedra at noon Wednesday, just 5 knots north-west, which caused the judges to head towards Sanxenxo, in order on the one hand to find wind and on the other to shorten the one that was second stage. And they achieved the two objectives, first because the wind reached 8 knots, and then because the length was reduced by 4 miles: it was 26 for the "regatta" and 18 for the cruises. "

Strong struggle in the ORC1 Class that has an excellent level, with six ships that are about you to you throughout the competition. In real the victory was for the Swan 45 "Pairo- Yes Too) with a chrono of 03.57.33, arriving on the Swan 42 of Julio Rodríguez and Gonzalo Araújo after him to A Pobra, the third being the" Solventis "with the Coruñés Malalo Bermudez de Castro to the cane and fourth the Pérez Canal... with these records" Oils Abril "was in compensation, ahead of" Pairo, "" Arroutado "that continues to do it frankly well," Solventis, "" "Magical" and the Arrizola of Iñigo. "

In the ORC2 he repeated victory "Bosch Service Solutions" (after deliberating the judges also gave him the victory in Commud) of Ramón Ojea, followed by the "Antilope" of the Gijón Bay Club and the "Cachete" of Fran Edreira of the La Penela Maritime Club. The control of the Canido ship is total: 2 points for two first. He was followed by "Antilope" and "Cachete" with 5, with the pontevedrés "Juancamaría 3" of Comalto with Pérez Olmedo in the cane the fourth with 8 points and the "Aldán" of the Military Naval School the fifth with 10.

Among the Open the most quickly the spectacular Baltic 56 of Quintero of the Club de Mar San Amaro de La Coruña, which covered the tour in 02.42.05, which however was not enough to win in its group, because in compensation they outperformed "Txole" of Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona and "Salseiro" of Manuel Blanco of Real Club Nautico de La Coruña. Fourth was the "Berlinguiño" of the Sanxenxo Nautico and fifth the giant "Buen Vino Tinto" the 65 foot of the Portosín Nautico. The boat of the Club de Yates de Ignacio Sánchez Otaegui stands out at the front by adding its second consecutive victory.

In the category of monotypes, in which Platu 25, J70 and J80 compete, the victory of "Pecas" with Willy Alonso was repeated to the cane, followed by Ignacio Zulueta's "Maija" and Cristina Cominges's "Pazo de Cea."

The lack of wind at the end of yesterday was complicating the fleet that sailed slowly in search of A Pobra do Caramiñal. At that time and in the absence of the classifications of this second test, the numbers of Commud prevailed. In Class 5 ORC "Piko Norte" and "Orlando" they buy the first two squares, while the third is the "Nautical Club of Boiro Komkalari" of the Nautico of Beluso Pontevedrés.

"Santiago Roma Rías Baixas" had been the best of his lot in Commud. The ship of Beluso, it has as its patron Iñaki Carbajo. The second square was for "A Pillara" of the Riveira Sports Nautico and the third the "Squid 2" of Portonovo with Francisco Lusquiño to the cane. This category was complete at the last minute, being able to confirm a new victory of the "Santiago Roma Rías Baixas" that moves away in general with two points, followed by this order by "Squid 2" and "Mar de Frades," both with six points.

In class 3, it was "Deep Blue" that dominated at the end of the first manga, a ship that patronizes Vicente Cid of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo. He was followed by Juan José Martínez Silva's "La Burela Negra" from the Castrelo de Miño Nautico Club, and the "Alma do Mar" (which was today making a great race) from Nito Enriquez from the Club Marítimo La Penela de Ferrolterra.

"Oils Abril" of the Orensians Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal, is the first leader of the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas, which organizes the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, after the first stage between the marinas of Vigo and of Commud in the heart of Pontevedra. The second stage that will begin at the edge of the twelve and a half of... leading to the numerous fleet that is competing and representing all the Cantabric, Galicia and Portugal, to the province of La Coruña... to A Pobra do Caramiñal, with 17 miles ahead for the "cruises" and 26 for the fastest ships, which will leave half an hour later.

I stopped at the river of Vigo in front of a late northwest... to the point that the fleet was waiting in waters close to the mythical islands of Cis more than an hour. After two in the afternoon, with winds of 8 knots from the north-east, the 57 edition of the "Rías" for classes 4, 5 Open and Sportboats began... 30 minutes later, you would do the ORC 0, 1, 2 and 3... with all the favorites in competition.

The fleet was very soon to enter the Costa de la Vela (which as a natural fronton separates the Rias of Vigo and Pontevedra), well known by the regatists for having a lot of difficulty... the first to abandon it were the giants of the Open class, who reached the line of arrival very soon...

The real-time winner the Herculine "Bionic Elk" of the Club de Mar San Amaro with a chrono of 02.49.41, which was second in compensated time.... First was the "Txole" of Mount Real Club of Yates and third was the "Pottoka" of the pattern of "Back to the World" (solo) Unai Basurko of the Pakea Euskadi.

Among the monotypes that compete in the so-called Sportboard class, Guillermo Alonso was imposed with the "Pecas," followed by "Pazo de Cea" and "Maija."

But the ointment was among the ships called the competition, which did not direct to Commud, because they had to go up to the "Camouco" of the Ons Islands... so they sailed about five more miles. Of all the great group the fastest in real was the Swan 45 "Pairo-Yes Too" patrolled by the component of the Spanish team of Youngs Americas Cup Luis Bugallo. Its time 03.09.37, which was worth it to be corrected in the fourth in this beginning of the Rías Baixas.

The victory in the group 0-1 was the "Oils Abril" of the Pérez Canal, second were those of Julio Rodríguez and Gonzalo Araujo with the San 42 "Magical" recent winner of the Trophy Conde de Gondomar and third "Solventis" with Malalo Bermudez de Castro to the cane... the rooms of Luis Bugallo with the Swan 45 "Pairo-Yes Too"), fifth "Arroutado" by José Manuel Pérez of the Real Nautico Club of Portosín... closing the group of favorites the "Alpega" of the Royal Club of the Abryogio of the Club of the "Armoto."

Among the class 2 the great favorite, the "Bosch Service Solutions" had to conform to the second partial square, as the winner in Commud was the Portuguese "Faro Fino" a very fast Mumm 30. The bronze in the stage fell in favor of the Asturian "Antipole" of the Bahia Club of Gijón... being the fourth "Juancaría3" of Perez Olmedo of the Nautical Club of Commud and the fifth place for the "Aldán" of the Naval School of Marin.

In group 3, which is that of the ships of the least length among the "competitive," he won the "Deep Blue 2.1" of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo, second place for the "Black Burla" of the Orensano club of Castrelo de Miño, closing the provisional podium of the "Maracaná" of the Nautical Club of Panjón.

Finally in the categories of the ships of minor length, the first three of each group were the following: Class 4 won "Santiago Roma Rías Baixas" of the Nautico Club of Beluso, followed by the "A Píllara" of the Nautico Sports Club of Ribeira and the "Marcolfo" of the Real Nautico Club of Vigo... in the 5 leader the "Orlando" of Gerardo Sánchez of the Nautico Club of Boiro, second "Piko Norte" of the Real Nautico Club of La Coruña and third "Korrikalari" of the Nautico of Beluso.

Good start of the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas, the most important national in this strange season... with an excellent participation, a great atmosphere... and a lot of prudence in the health... to the extent that all the partial awards in the different ports that host the dean have been eliminated.

In line of departure seventy ships from the fleets of the Cantábrico, Galicia and Portugal, in which it is the dean of the Galician races; traditionally considered as the one of the most important of Spain, as "regata in stages..." in this very peculiar year has undoubtedly become the reference of all the heavy sails peninsular (Photo Pedro Seoane)

At one in the afternoon, the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas will begin in the central area of the Ria de Vigo, the last act of the fashion race cycle organized by the Real Club Náutico de Vigo, heading for the Porto Deportivo de Commud, in the Concelo de Poio, in the heart of the Ria de Pontevedra.

It will be 16 miles for the ships of classes 4, 5, Sport Boats and Open; while the most competitive ships, framed in classes 0, 1, 2 and 3 will have ahead of them 21 and will leave half an hour after the slower ones.

The weather part that provides for the north-west winds of 10 knots indicates that the fleet must begin to arrive in Commud in the early hours of the afternoon, and since the Organization has planned more route for the fast ships and a half hour delay in the departure, everything is planned for a joint arrival of the fleet.

It should also be noted that the great French judge in Palma de Mallorca, Ariane Mainemare, is the chief officer of this Rías Baixas. The gala belongs to a family that lives for the candle... her parents were senior leaders of the International Federation and her sister is the director of regats at the Real Club Nautico de Palma. The Nautico Vigués, who has as a sailing delegate the elite regatist Gonzalo Araújo, has bet on quality and wants to improve the cache of the "dean," yes, without damaging its foundational philosophy.

Many levels, with ships and patterns of highest prestige. Among the favorites the "Orensans" of the "Olives Abril" with the brothers Pérez Canal in command winning in 2019 of the classes 0-1-2. Also the "Bosch Service Solutions" by Ramón Ojea of the Maritime of Canido that comes from winning the Rías Altas and that won in its category the Rías Baixas of last season. He joined the party, "Solventis" with Malalo Bermudez de Castro with the coruñés Malalo Bermudez de Castro to the cane... which in 2019 remained at the gates of triumph.

Among the "premires" there is no doubt to speak of the "Pairo- Yes Too" the Swan 45 of Ramada, who take out the "pairos" with Luis Bugallo (one of the most prestigious Spanish rods)... as well as "Magical" that weapon Julio Rodríguez, the Swan 42 that won the Gondomar and that will have a full luxury on board: Gonzalo Araújo.

Very strong the Coruñese representation, beginning with the "Bionic Alk" the Baltic 56 winner of the Finisterre, as well as with "Alma do Mar" by Nito Enriquez, "Cachete" by Fran Edreira, "Lambaix," "Salseiro" or "Bodegas Benito Santos" that patronizes Jorge Etcheverría, "Atlantic 3D Printing" by Guillermo Blanco... of the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña, Club Náutico de Sada or Club Marítimo La Penela de Cabanas.

On the part of the Basque Country there are several ships, case of which the navigator of Manuela to the Unai Basurko World... the one of Portugalete will compete with the cruises. Another of the ships to be taken into account is the "Arroutado" of José Manuel Pérez of the Royal Nautical Club of Portosín, or the "Black Burla" of the Castrelo de Miño Nautico Club, Orensano.

"Juancamaría" by Juan Carlos Pérez Olmedo of the Nautico Club of Commud, is also one of those who count to enter into podium. It is also necessary to highlight the ships of the Spanish Navy of the Marin Military Naval School: "Villa de Marín" a Hanse 470 and the Sun Odissey 52 "Blanca."

The edition of the Rías Baixas Regata, which starts by showing that in Galicia it has been worked and much because it is considered within the complicated situation as a "safe destination..." that if... the sanitary measures will be rigorous... to the extent that there will be no awards, nor receptions to "use..." as the existing canons command. Health safety first.

It was officially presented at the facilities of the Real Club Náuico de Vigo, the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas, after holding its first two events with total success: the Rías Altas and Finisterre. The event that was held in the sports venue of the Harbour Authority of Vigo, for health reasons, was chaired by the Viguese regator Abel Caballero, also with the presence of José Ramón Lete Lasa, secretary of sports of the Xunta de Galicia and its provincial delegate Daniel Benavides, the concelleiro vigués Manel Fernández, as well as the provincial deputy Gorka Gómez, the president of the Galician Federation of Vela Manuel Villaverde... the representative of Maeloc Noa Pérez, the president of the Náutico José Antonio Portela and his great director of the Maalco, and his director of the main director of the Mara.

In a year as complicated as we are living, two of the most prestigious and pronounced clubs, such as the real nautical clubs of La Coruña and Vigo, have not hesitated to be involved again in Mar de Maeloc.

It had even started to hold two liaison races that were the vehicle to capture the participation of units from England, France... as well as the Cantabrian. To this end, in February, an agreement was reached with the Royal Maritime Club of the Abra-Real Sporting Club to become part of Mar de Maeloc... but the pandemic has delayed the implementation of the "second phase," which is intended to be activated by 2021 with a great race in the style of the Finisterre, but that a Basque coast with the galician.

The seaports of Mar de Maeloc 2020, cover much of the Galician coast: Cedeira, Sada, La Coruña, Malpica, A Pobra do Caramiñal, Commud and Vigo; both "Rías Altas" and "Finisterre" have already been celebrated, by the way, with a remarkable success, despite the adversity.

The final tract is missing... the Regata Mar de Maeloc Rías Baixas, which will leave on Wednesday, August 12, for Comarto from the incomparable river of Vigo; from there is a second stage to the river of Arousa, to the beautiful A Pobra... the third act will bring us back to the olive city... and the fourth will be the great novelty: for the first time since it was created in 1964 there will be a Vigo- Vigo... in which if the circumstances of desirable wind are given... will be a great spectacle, no doubt... the most important one at the national level of the heavy season.

In competition 70 ships from cruise, among which will be the most competitive of the northwest... with a last-minute surprise: the "Pairo 9" that with one of the best Spanish patterns of the moment Luis Bugallo and armed by José Luis Freire, will be the Swan 45 "Yes Too" of the Lusian Rui Ramada.

Also among the favorites the Swan 42 "Magic" armed by Julio Rodríguez and with Gonzalo Araújo as tactical, will be one of the great favorites... ship that has recently won the Count of Gondomar Trophy. His major rivals "Oils Abril" with Luis and Jorge Pérez Canal and an exceptional crew, with important names like the Vigo Chapu Torné... who was the winner of the Rías in the last edition in ORC 0-1.

Malalo Bermudez de Castro with "Solventis" that Javier and Pablo Moro arm will be another of the strong. The Coruñés did not win in 2019... will go out for all on this occasion to make it...

Ramón Ojea with "Bosch Service Solutions" the "boat of the Canterans," will return to the formula of success as in the High Rias: a mixture of veteran with youth... with young promises from the Maritime Club of Canido. The Sailway Elan 37, won in 2019 in the ORC 2, and has also achieved gold in the Rías Altas 2020 Regata.

From La Coruña, very important ships are coming down. Case of "Bodegas Benito Santos" with Jorge Etchevarría a la rea, "Eleko-Mambo" patronado por Carlos Sampedro, "Cachete" de Fran Edreira, "" Alma do Mar "de Nito Enriquez, for giving some examples... or the very fast SunFast 3600" Lambaix. "

The most important factor for the operation of Mar de Maeloc, is the support for the sustainability of the marine environment... in all the development of the races has been bet on the recycled materials... the T-shirts with which the participants are made of cotton from "used clothing and manufacturing cuts," as well as "plastic bottles found at sea."

The trophies that have been made artisanally in La Coruña and Vigo, have the base wood of the palés that are used in Maeloc and engraved sheets of aluminium from recycled... and that are really, amen of originals and aesthetics, a whole symbol of sustainability.

The materials used also range from the stationery to the flags of the ships have been made from recycled or recyclable materials... Ecoembes will install its selective waste collection system in several ports of Mar de Maeloc.

It is a long way from the dean of the Iberian Northwest races, in a season that will be the most outstanding and important of all the heavy Spanish candle... an edition that, as it cannot be otherwise, will be marked by health prudence, and by the demand and application of the controls required at these difficult times that we are facing.
