Sailing on the Mar Menor Spain

We now have three boats in Los Urrutias marina. Only 320 euro a year for you and your partner. Balaton Sailing and Social Group

We have four day boats, three are Sailfish 18’s (5.5 Metres) two of which are kept on swinging moorings off-shore at CTD, Los Narejos. One Sailfish is presently in storage The forth is a Spanish Arraez Arabel (6.0 Metres) which is berthed in the marina at Los Urrutias

. With this number of boats members are never short of a sail. Significant others or one other nominated family member can sail free at anytime and are welcomed at all our social events and meetings. We try to arrange a friendly group sail every week and Sunday morning (weather permitting) when members turn up and to enjoy a sail together. Quite often these “group sails” are followed by a lunch. We also arrange to sail to a beach or marina, have lunch (the non-sailing other halves have meet us via land) and then sail back, always very enjoyable. If members want to sail on other days and need a crew/skip then an e-mail to the group members will usually result in someone being available to go out with you. Sailing novices in our group are helped by our more experienced skips, our trainers, make learning to sail a most enjoyable experience. More experienced sailors will be given familiarization tuition. You can join our group with a view to becoming a “skip” or to continue as crew with opportunities to helm on social sails. If you have friends or family that want to go out then we ask a nominal donation. We want people to enjoy the boats as much as possible. We try to arrange friendly race days for those that enjoy the competition. Balaton Group Membership
