Boat Owners Beware!

FAKE NEWS!!
We have been informed that this news is inaccurate. Apparently there is NO ban on anchoring apart from in the marine nature reserve at Tango Bay. There is, however, an ongoing study by an environmental group from Valencia.
The study has now been completed and the report states that unlike that which happens in the sandy sea beds of Formentera, the Posodonia (sea grass) of the mainland Costa Blanca region is found on rocky substrates and the possibility of anchor dragging is less likely. There is therefore no anchor restriction.
Original Post:
All boat owners should be aware that they can be heavily fined for anchoring anywhere in the Jávea bay area, as the sea bed is considered a nature preservation area, and anchors and chains can damage the ‘sea grass’.
All boats must use the mooring buoys. In Sardine Bay there are a maximum of 36, and in Cala Blanca there are another 24 – a total of approximately 60 maximum. See the photo (courtesy of Graham Hustler) above.
Be warned if planning to moor in this area, an early start is recommended to secure a mooring. The area will be policed by the Marine Guardia Civil, either in a rib, or on a jet ski.

How to prove that you are a paid-up CBYA member!
Categories:
The CBYA has negotiated some discounts with various suppliers – an example is our agreement with the Accastillage Diffusion Chandlery in Dénia. Click HERE for details. We plan to negotiate additional benefits for CBYA members in the future.
So how can you prove that you are a paid-up CBYA member in order to take advantage of these discounts?
We have issued CBYA membership cards in the past – like last year’s membership card shown above. However, this proved to be too difficult to manage, so we now have a new system….
Sad News
Categories:
We are very sad to advise our members that our Boating Officer, Karlheinz Witte, died Saturday morning 21st July at his home in Denia after a short, brave battle with a particularly aggressive cancer. Those who knew Karlheinz will remember his patient sailing instruction, his sense of humour and his hard work on behalf of the Club. He initiated and managed our monthly Charter Cruises from Denia, maintained the CBYA statistics, organised presentations in Javea and was a key member of the CBYA Committee.
He will be much missed. Our sincere condolences to his wife, Aura, and the rest of his family.
