In 2015 and after a difficult birth, given his uniqueness, he was born in full Navy dock he Club Patí Vela Barcelonafocused on the popular promotion of this vessel “genuine of Barcelona“, recognized and protected as such by the city council. But with its first contract finalized and a use plan that regulates the future of the Olympic coastline, the negotiation is about to be resolved with the continuity of the sports entity, but the possible disappearance of the charismatic restaurant that completed the offer: you have an order cessation of the restoration activity for the next December 2. The holders of the Red Fish They battle these days, through the Barcelona Restaurant Guildso that the council allows its survival.
The club project focused on diffusion of Catalan sailing skate It was a private initiative, which involved an investment of more than two million euros. It is located on the Mar dock. Although it is based on a non-profit entity that provides courses and training around this boat and some other aquatic activities, one of its legs was the restoration as it made the project viable.
It was already born with many uncertainties, given that the city council had in mind to assume the management of the Port Olímpic and regulate all the uses and reconfiguration of the area. For this reason, under the mandate of the Comuns its continuity was always in focus. In recent times its fit has come to depend on BSM, the municipal company that manages the new stage of the Port Olímpic, where it has developed a large gastronomic project, controversial due to its million-dollar rents. However, the complex urban transformation of the entire area has led to months of talks to resolve the place or not of the Catalan sailing skate club and its complementary services.
Sports and gastronomy
Although the municipal will is preserve the club, with about 200 members currently, the rental amount recently proposed by BSM was unaffordable for the entity, according to a spokesperson told El Periódico, and who rules out the possibility of moving to any other point on the coast. For this reason, the two parties have been searching for a viable agreement for weeks. Even more complex is the situation of the restaurante Red Fish, given that after the organization of the area a priori it will only be able to operate in the interior space of the enclosure, where it can occupy a maximum of 8% of its surface, as stated in article 18 of the Special Urban Planning and Use Plan of the Port Olímpic of Barcelona. Specifically, it would correspond to around one hundred square meters, according to the same source. Instead, I would lose the sought-after terrace which is now its main attraction and on which a colorful aedicule was built.
From the Restoration Guild They emphasize that the space has been in disuse since 1992 and that the restaurant space has established itself not only as sailor restaurant “within the reach of the majority of Barcelonans”, but as a setting for corporate events and so on. They regret that the new regulatory framework does not accommodate it as it currently is, since its operation without its outer structure it would be difficult. The employers believe that the regulatory text is confusing enough and generates enough “legal doubts” that the administration itself has been analyzing the eviction for weeks. In fact, in July it was notified that the closure was to take place in October, it was subsequently extended until November 25, and this same Friday, in extremis, it obtained a new postponement until December 2.
“We must value the work and contribution made by the entrepreneurs in Barcelona and the case of Red Fish is paradigmatic”, they point out in the union. They consider that the area went from being a “landfill” to a restaurant with unbeatable views and demand that it be allowed to continue operating under the same circumstances and that it not suffer the continued pressure of closing deadlines.
Final stretch

Club sources, for their part, report that they are pending closing a financial agreement with BSM that would preserve the indoor restaurant. They assure that the current operator, Red Fish, could continue if he accepts the new scenario.
From BSM they assure that the dialogue continues and that “the Port Olímpic has the firm will that the Patí de Vela Club can continue using its facilities in the Moll de Marina, because the entity’s activity coincides with the objectives of the use plan approved by the municipal plenary session. But they point out that “after the definitive assignment of this area of the Marina dock to the Port Olímpic, the entity has to regularize its situation by formalizing a “space transfer contract”. Once this situation is resolved, they add, “you may agree with the owner of the restaurant space on the continuity of these uses as a complementary activity, always in accordance with the conditions established by the new use plan.” That is, with the limitation of 8% of the total space. And without a nightstand.
