Boatshed Barcelona in Regata Columbretes

On May 15-16 the annual Regatta Columbretes Cohimar took place. This regatta runs from Vilanova i la Geltrú to the oil drilling platform about 20 miles out to sea between Tarragona and the Delta of the Ebro. It is one of the regattas that count for the Catalan sailing championship singlehanded and with 1 crew.

There were almost 60 boats at the start. Gert Van den Bergh, the owner of Boatshed Barcelona, took part in the regatta as one of the crew on board “Hoja de Parra”, one of the boats of Rumbo Libre. As the total distance of the regatta was almost 70 miles, the plan was to sail one day and part of the night.

However, from the moment the start sign was given, the wind gods turned on the turbines and haven’t given less than 25 knots with gusts of 35 knots all the time. As we had the wind on a reach most of the time, it was a very fast regatta and we were back in the marina in less than 11 hours.

Some of the boats that are for sale by Boatshed Barcelona also participated, notably the Furia 302 and the Salona 37.

In Boatshed Barcelona, we believe that it’s not only important to view and photograph a boat in the marina, but we also enjoy the opportunity to really test the boats we offer for sale…

Boatshed Barcelona en la Regata Columbretes

El 15-16 de mayo, la regata Columbretes trofeo Cohimar tuvo lugar. Esta regata va del Club Nautic de Vilanova a la petrolera delante la costa entre Tarragona y el Delta del Ebro. Cuenta para el campeonato Catalan de vela solo y a dos.

Había casi 60 barcos inscritos. Gert Van den Bergh, el propietario de Boatshed Barcelona, participó como tripulante a bordo de “Hoja de Parra”, uno de los barcos de Rumbo Libre. Como la distancia total de la regata era de casi 70 millas, teníamos previsto navegar un día y parte de la noche.

Al salir del Club Nautico de Vilanova había muy poco viento. Sin embargo, desde el momento de la señal de salida, los dioses del viento han puesto en marcha sus turbinas y nos dieron no menos de 25 nudos todo el tiempo con rachas de 35. Como teníamos el viento de traves la mayor parte del trayecto, era una regata rápida y volvíamos al puerto en menos de 11 horas.

Algunos de los barcos que se ofrecen en venta en Boatshed Barcelona, también participaron, notablemente la Furia 302 y la Salona 37.

En Boatshed Barcelona, creemos que no solo es importante ver y fotografiar un barco en puerto, pero también nos gusta ver y probar un barco en venta…
