Bruno Benthlem and Dante Biachi, current Hemisphere Vice Champions, won the 2007 Snipe Brazilian National Championship. They beat Alexandre Paradeda and Pedro Tinoco by a 14 points margin with Henrique Haddad and Guilherme Hamelmannin in third place, completing the Brazilian team for the Snipe World Championship. 75 boats entered in the championship that celebrates the 75 year class anniversary. The competition was very tough and only Haddad and Guilherme Hamelmannin managed to stay in the top 20 position in all races. The wind started very light in the first two days but it became stronger after the fourth race changing the leaders.
The Junior Champion was Mario Tinoco and Christian Vostoupal with Marcos Adler and Phillipe Wender in second Place. Ivan Pimental/ Victor Martins won the master division after leading the beginning of the event in light winds. Pepe D'Elia and Lúcia D'Elia were the champions of the mixed division and Renata Bellotti Larissa Bunese Juk were the winners in the woman division.
For the first time, there was a team race event together with the Nationals. The team formed by Henrique Haddad/Guilherme Hamelmann, Rafael Elias Nahat Gagliotti/Henrique Wisnieski, Geison Mendes/Gustavo Thiesen, Thomas Low-Beer/Felipe Praça beat the all woman team for 3 x 0 in the final. This event will replace the practice race for the next year Brazilian National.
