The Mount Real Club de Yates inaugurates on Saturday its 2022 cruise season with the Community Trophy, which this year is broken to include two different races, one from the river of Pontevedra and the other from the river of Vigo.

Therefore, as a great novelty, the participating ships will be able to choose between Commud and Vigo as a starting point, but both options will converge in an intermediate point of the journey and will agree on the arrival, which will be located in the same place for the entire fleet.

The most mature test will be that of Comarto - Baiona, with departure planned for 12 noon in the vicinity of the Marina Comarto Sports Port, which collaborates with the Monte Real in the organization of the event. From the coast of the picturesque Pontevedrés village, the sailboats will have a route of about 22 nautical miles ahead.

Less tour will make the sailboats that choose for Vigo as the starting point, for which it is estimated that they will be about 15 miles away. This test design, with an expected departure at two o'clock in the afternoon from the vicinity of the Vigués port, was the one that had traditionally been disputed thanks to the collaboration of the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo.

If the estimates of the race committee are fulfilled, a point will come at which the sailing boats coming through the river of Pontevedra and those sailing through the river of Vigo are grouped, expected around the area of the Cí Islands. From there, the fleet will undertake to the same end, in the vicinity of Baiona, and it will be at Mount Real Club of Yates where the award is held from 7: 00 in the afternoon.
