Santa Irene Club de Vela
A SAILING club with tradition
Santa Irene Club de Vela is renowned for its longstanding tradition of organising regattas every Sunday. Each Sunday, club members gather at the harbour from 10:00 to meet up with colleagues, prepare their boats and rig their sails, exchange tips and race strategies before launching into the water.
At the end of the day, after the races, participants gather at a local restaurant/bar to refresh from the days exertions, share stories and celebrate the day’s racing accomplishments.
This Sunday regatta tradition has fostered a strong sense of community and a passion for sailing among the club members, making it one of the most anticipated moments of the week for all its members.
