Whaly Training Day – Launch Report

The Sailing Association Mar Menor held its very first Whaly Training Day yesterday, and it proved to be an excellent start to this new initiative. The Mar Menor delivered perfect conditions: calm water, clear skies, and just enough breeze to keep things interesting. The Whaly handled beautifully throughout the morning, giving us plenty of opportunity to run through manoeuvres, safety procedures, and general boat handling. Steve settled in quickly and clearly enjoyed the experience — a great sign for future sessions.
With such a successful first outing, we’re already looking forward to the next Whaly Day, scheduled for two weeks from now. Further details will be shared soon.

Balaton Racing Success

Balaton Group were presented with a cup for the newly revived Spring Series of races run by SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor). Lavanter performed consistently well with various crews and took part in every race which helped them to victory. Jules accepted the cup on behalf of the Lavanter crews from Commodore Jack and race organiser Bob.

The Mar Menor

SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor), is based on the shores of the Mar Menor in Murcia, southern Spain. We have over 300 days of sunshine each year and the climate is perfect for sailing.

The Mar Menor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmar meˈnor], "Minor sea") is a salty lagoon, in the south-east of the autonomous community of Murcia, in Spain, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by La Manga, a sandbar 22 km in length and with a width ranging from 100 to 1,200 metres. It belongs to four municipalities: Cartagena, Los Alcázares, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar. With a surface area of nearly 170 km², a coastal length of 70 km, and warm and clear water no more than 7 metres in depth, it is the ideal location to go sailing. Its relatively high salinity, which aids flotation, and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for a wide variety of water sports.
