(Cordoba, Argentina)- The Argentinean J/24 fleet is a bit like the
proverbial “Energizer Bunny” ad one sees in America for the “battery
that keeps on ticking”. Between Buenos Aires and the Cordoba fleet in
the hills of the Andes Mountains, these J/24 fleets never seem to stop
sailing and, more importantly, never stop having fun!As part of their three venue J/24 Winter Series, the latest event took place at Villa Carloz Paz along their spectacular mountain lake- Lago San Roque. A lake so close to the famous Cordoba ski resorts, that you can ski in the morning and in less than 30 minutes be sailing in sunny skies in the afternoon down at the lake.
In
the latest regatta, eighteen boats sailed, two driven by women and two
by teenagers. Club Nauticos Cordoba played host for the event. Taking
first this year was INDIGO sailed by Despontin Ezekiel. Then, in second
was OJOTA skippered by Sebastián Halpern and third was PURA VIDA.
Another crew aboard MEDIO POLLO took 7th, an honorable result despite
being brand new to the class and sailing their first regatta!The meeting and party amongst all the J/24 teams after the three races on Saturday was epic, it remains a moment of camaraderie noteworthy for the amazing food, great Mendocino wines, empanadas, photos and discussions! We welcome anyone in the “J” world to join us! For more Argentina J/24 Fleet sailing information
