(March 1-10) Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico - Brazil’s Mauricio Santa Cruz and his team on Bruschetta are winners of the 2007 UBS J/24 World Championship for the second year in a row! Bruschetta led the boat parade through Nuevo Vallarta Harbour to cheers and horns on the final day of what everyone is calling “The Best Worlds Ever.”Sitting in top spot all week, in a 70 boat fleet, SantaCruz went into the final day needing only to hold off the three USA boats that had been chasing him since Day One. Mike Ingham’s Brain Cramp finished in second place with Mark Hillman (28-4) driving WIP in third. Chris Snow on Bogus, in the top four most of the week, dropped to 8th place after 36-8 finishes on Day Five.
SantaCruz retired after race nine, the Championship in hand after his 18th place finish. Complete results here
