The World Champion’s Boat

The World Champion’s Boat Image

What boat did Henrique Haddad (aka “Gigante”) and Gustavo Nascimento use to become 2019 Snipe World Champions in Ilhabela?

The boat is a Lemao, built in 2001 in Brazil by Kurt Diemer (BRA 29950).

The boat is very simple (to avoid any complications and just sail!): one block for the jib sheet (no barber or floating lead); one cleat (for either jib or main), just in case. The Brazilians never cleat the sheets.
