The Spanish League of Sailing of Nautical Clubs starts this weekend at the Club Nàutic S’Arenal

The Club Nàutic S’Arenal (CNA) will host the first two races of the Spanish League of Nautical Clubs, sponsored by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation and organized jointly with the Club Náutico Altea, which will hold the second event on the weekend of 2nd and 3rd of December.

The regatta will be attended by 10 boats representing 10 yacht clubs from different parts of Spain: CNA, CN Altea, CN Sa Ràpita, Club Vela Palamós, CN El Masnou, CN Vilassar de Mar, RCN Calpe, CN El Balís, RCN Palma and RCN Torrevieja.

Each one of these teams counts on four to five crew members that will compete on board of monotypes in short and fast regattas with live judges at sea. “It is a sailing format with a lot of adrenaline and is very interesting, especially for a profile of sailors from 17 or 18 years old who can no longer assume the level of demand that dinghy sailing requires, but want to continue competing," explains Ferran Muniesa, manager of the CNA. "We believe it has a lot of potential for growth in Spain," he says.

"As a club, we have been very proud to host this competition for several years now, which decides which team will represent Spain in the Sailing Champions League, facing the winners of the respective leagues in different European countries," he adds.

This Saturday 28th and 29th of October, the participating teams will sail with boats of the class Beneteu B-One sponsored by the CNA, meanwhile the races of December in Altea they will do so with boats of Platú 25.
