Mar del Plata is one of ours best racing places, it frequently offers windy
condition and high waves, besides the racing area is always putting in open
sea.
The last eight races of the championship were the first part of the
selective champinship for the worlds in Hungry, the next two will be in the
River Plate, and the last one will be in ´´Chascomus´´ lake.
About the Mar del Plata´s championship, the first three days the races were
suspended because of the extreme windy condition (more than 30 knots).
Then, fortunately, we had 6 days with high waves and winds of between 10 and
20 knots, so it makes that we could complete succesfully the first part of
the selective campionship.
Cosentino-Castro showed a great perfomance, followed by Cosentino´s little
brother, Gonzalo-Cosentino-Grande, the other one who had an important
performance, not in the championship but in the selective part (last 8
races), was Ferrantino-Capa, who got good results for the Selective.
Gojenola-Romero had a noticeable performans getting the 3rd position, adding
that this was his first championship in Cadet Class.
This championship is an important event in wich all clases take part every
year (optimist 210, Cadets 27, 420 13, 29er 8, Europe 14, Laser 46 wich
participation of international crews in most of them) it favors to the
integration between the diferents clases.
It would be great for us that you and other countries manage to come next
year for taking part in this great event, so I offer, as secretary of the
AACIC and Secretary of centreboard boats of the YCA, all the possible help so
that you can come.
Emilio Travascio (Secretary AACIC)
