Saturday January 12 the Real Club Nautico de Denia hosted a meeting between presidents, vice presidents and managers of the yacht clubs of Valencia to address dissatisfaction with the Bill raises the Generalitat Ports.
According to the Association of Yacht Clubs in the Region, this Draft "I could end the Valencian water sport". Affirm that "throughout the text there is no distinction between non-profit association (the yacht clubs as a whole are entities declared of social interest) and commercial or lucrative companies, which would fatally affect the social and sports purposes for which they are so hard they work day after day for athletes and are their reason for being. "
And the higher fees an average increase of 600% from current payments to the Administration that in many cases is greater than its current annual total budgets.
Since the Association say "The Draft does not take into account the money spent by the yacht clubs in sport or all those associations of athletes that depend on the clubs" and that "they will walk steadily in the same direction to present all those allegations that are necessary so that this new Law is not carried out, at least in the current terms".
Not for profit ?, different from the mercantile company ?. The profit is that of its partners, who benefit from the results of the club (as is logical). Why should an 40 yacht owner have privileges because he is moored in a yacht club and not in a commercial marina? What kind of water sport do you practice?
There are marinas organizing important sporting events; No need to be a nautical club to organize regattas and fishing competitions.
