2000 South American Championships, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Fleet 159 of the Iate Clube do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil received from the last 4th March to 7th March 2000 45 boats to race on the 2000 South American Championship. Present World and Pan Ams Champions Nelido M. Lopez and Octavio C. Lorenzo Valdes attended, as well as boats from Argentina, Belgium, Chile, Uruguay and USA, turning the event a quite international one. Guanabara bay and the weather man, as a welcome to all sailors, granted sunshine, warm waters and winds ranging from 12 to 15 knots on the first 5 regatas. On the last day cloudy skies and a strong (gusts of 20 knots or more) southwest wind came in for the first race of the day and suddenly disappeared for the last race of the event that after the completion of the first triangle had to be canceled by the RC. Races were technically very difficult as a consequence of the wind shifts and strong tides (1.3 meters) on the race area. On 6 races we had five different winners and although being the only crew that won two races the World Champions Nelido/Octavio had finishes as 11 and 12 on other races confirming the difficulty of the regattas.

Bruno Bethlem/Maxim Wengert from Fleet 159 with Old Black are the new South American Champions with a consistent 4-1-2-2-5-2. The veterans Paulo Santos/Ricardo Santos (1-5-6-3-9-3) and Ivan Pimentel/Rodrigo Lins (6-2-7-19-2-6) finished 2nd and 3rd with Nelido Lopez/Octavio Valdes (CNF(2)-3-1-11-12-1) from Cuba in 4th place following a CNF penalty for not checking out/in at the 1st race that certainly had an influence on his final place, but not enough to win the event. The other foreign crews that also a good participation were Kevin Funsch/Watt Duffy from Oyster Bay Yatch Club (11th place) and Thierry den Hartigh/Greet Jans Em from Belgium that had a 18th overall but a 2nd on the couple. Cocktails on the first and last day were a must, with hot-dogs and beers as intermezzo on Sunday.

Argentina will host the 2001 SA at a beautiful lake nearby Tucuman and we are confident that they will grant us all a great event.
