I recently received a note from Spain in regard to the Pelican class of sailboats.
From Julián:
"I am also "pelicanero". We are a group of six boat enthusiasts who constitute the "Spanish fleet." Six beautiful Pelican fourteens we sail in northern Spain. "
Julián Fdez. de Velasco del Casar lives in Madrid, and spends his summer holidays in San Juan de la Arena, near the river Nalon, in Asturias. He and his friends sail a fleet of Pelicans in the mouth of the river Nalon. They sail regattas and make afternoon trips in their San Fransisco Pelicans. They claim to comprise the only boats of this class, in all of Spain.
Follow this link to see photos of the Spanish San Fransisco Pelicans during a summer regatta.
More photos of the construction of the Pelican, for those who like that sort of thing.
Bienvenido Julian, y los amigos, a la tribu Doryman de entusiastas de la navegación. Saludos de mi país a la suya, en la comunión. Puede usted tener vientos favorables en todos sus viajes.
Muchas gracias por compartir su amor por la navegación y la alegría de la Pelican en condiciones de navegar con los lectores Doryman.
