After two days of measurement, masterly conducted by the team of YCA volunteers lead by our Chief Measurer Pierre-Charles Barraud, registration process is now closed, and practice race has just been sailed on Sunday 30th October, 14:00 local time, by a 10-12 knots breeze.
Thanks to Yacht Club Argentino and to F18 Argentina, with special mention to Freya Mors and Martin Vanzulli, who worked hard for months to build up our pinacle event, everything is running smooth in order to make a big success of this first ever F18 World Championship sailed in South America, giving a solid boost to all SA fleets.
A strong IJ with no appeal has been put in place, and an experienced RA should provide sailors with good racing the whole week, by the exception of Wednesday where hurricane weather conditions are forecasted.
Opening ceremony is scheduled by 18:30 today, and the first warning signal of Race 1 should be made by 12:00 on Monday.
We will keep you duly informed.
