Eight Bells: Jorge Vilar Castex
It’s with a heavy heart that we have to inform Snipe sailors of the loss of two time World Champion (1948 & 1951) Jorge Vilar Castex of Argentina. Below is a photo of Jorge and brother Carlos (arms crossed). Carlos’s experiences of winning the two Worlds was outlined in the 75th anniversary edition of the Snipe Bulletin.
