Boatshed Barcelona patrocina La Petrolera 2006

El pasado fin de semana (31/3-1/4), tuvo lugar la 7ª edición de la regata de la Petrolera. Esta regata hace el recorrido del Club Nautic de Garraf a la plataforma petrolífera Casablanca. Participan en la regata veleros o bien con patrón solitario, o bien a dos tripulantes.

Este año, Boatshed Barcelona patrocinó la regata por primera vez, como resultado de los buenos contactos mantenidos con varios miembros del Club Nautic. Según comentaron algunos participantes, la edicion 2006 de la regata se caracterizó por vientos flojos a la ida. Pero después, a la vuelta, han notado vientos idóneos para una regata.

En esta regata, no solo se trata de competir, pero lo que sobre todo es importante es el buen ambiente entre los participantes. Y para sellar, se organiza una gran paella familiar para entregar los premios y para intercambiar historias de navegante…

Boatshed Barcelona sponsors La Petrolera 2006

Last weekend (31/3-1/4), the 7th edition of the Petrolera took place. This regatta runs between the marina of Garraf and the oil platform Casablanca at the delta of the Ebro river. The race is for single handed sailors or skipper + 1 crew.

This year, for the first time, Boatshed Barcelona sponsored this regatta, as a result of the excellent contacts with many members of the Club Nautic de Garraf. According to the comments of some participants, the 2006 edition of the regatta was plagued by little wind during the run out, but on the return leg winds did pick up and made for a good regatta.

However, this regatta is not only about competition. It is mainly an excuse for sailing enthousiasts to get together and make new friends. And in Spain, how do you close such an event? With a giant paella of course, where all participants and their families are invited. The paella was yummy and the sailor’s stories strong…
