Blanch, who has led the federation's sports strategy for 13 years, emphasizes the impact of the Barcelona International Sailing Center (BISC) at the Port del Fòrum. This facility has become a global benchmark for high-performance training.
“"Before, sailing was more amateur, and now it has become professionalized. We hope to have Catalan representatives in the next Olympic Games."
Following the gold medal won by Florian Trittel in the 49er class in Paris, the federation is now focusing on Los Angeles. Blanch joined the institution in 1998 after a career as a sailor and coach, witnessing the sport's professional evolution.
