Nautical activity at the Olympic Port is gaining momentum. The second round of the Barcelona 4 Clubs is being held on Sunday, 3 April, from 12.30 pm. This social yacht racing regatta is jointly organised by the Club de Mar Port Olímpic, the Reial Club Nàutic de Barcelona, the Reial Club Marítim de Barcelona and the Club de Vela de Badalona.
The event started life in 2017 and is the yacht racing championship with the highest participation in Catalonia, with 75 boats competing.
This second round is organised by the Club de Mar Port Olímpic, which takes over from the Club de Vela de Badalona after the latter organised the first round in February. The championship includes two further rounds on 22 May and 24 September, organised respectively by the Reial Club Nàutic de Barcelona and the Reial Club Marítim de Barcelona.
Boosting nautical activity as one of the strategy areas for the Olympic Port
One key area in the transformation of the Olympic Port involves boosting nautical activity and bringing it closer to citizens. In this new era, the Olympic Port aims to act as a catalyst for activities offered by those based at the facility, developing ties and fostering shared initiatives to help position the port as a setting for regattas and other marine outreach activities.
To achieve these goals, one area of work for the municipal company B:SM involves improving port facilities. Work carried out in recent weeks includes improvements to the mooring chain trench, offering greater safety and ease for vessels and users, as well as the reorganisation of mooring points and the renewal of the mooring chain system. A dredging operation is also under way at the mouth of the port and is set to remove 3,000 square metres of sand from the seabed, adding more depth and ensuring the necessary clearance for boats. Once the sand has been dried, it will be deposited on the Barceloneta beach to help towards the sustainable regeneration of the city coast. This package of nautical improvements entails an overall investment of 529,228.25 euros.
