* At the
29er World Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
Argentine J/24 sailors and Opti coaches Pepe Bettini and Fernando Gwozdz
are atop the leader board sailing their 29er in spectacular sailing
conditions-- 3-6 foot waves blowing 15-25 knots on the Mar del Plata.
When asked about the conditions, Bettini commented that "we had steady
winds but a big swell with waves breaking on the top. At the beginning
of the downwind legs it was like surfing the Pipeline against pro surfer
Kelly Slater! Our PRO Tino Mora did a really good job and we're happy
with the days results. We're tied with Tavella and Greggi in points."
