(La Punta, Peru)- With the advent of spring sailing “down under”, the
various J/24 fleets in South America and Australia are beginning to get
the ball rolling in their various summer season championships as well as
major events. In La Punta, Peru, the J/24s have just started their South American Championships sailing on the Pacific Ocean along the spectacular coastline of this mountainous country. The fleet so far has been blessed with good sailing conditions for the highly competitive fleet.
While the betting is that Mauricio Santa Cruz on BRUSCHETTA may be able to repeat as South American Champion, behind him there is no question many are expecting to challenge them enough to dethrone them for 2014! Leading that charge should be several good local teams, like Luis Olcese’s SCARAMOUCH, Javier Arribas’ WAYRA, Matias Seguel’s GURU, Lucas Peschiera’s TIAMAT and Vernon Robert’s JOYTIA. There is a lot of racing planned for the fleet, with the regatta starting on November 8th and finishing one week later on November 15th.
