Luis Borba passed away today, September 4, at the age of 62.
A very sad news for the Fleet 311 (Yacht Club Paulista) of which he was the Captain and for the whole Snipe Class.
Luis has been a very active sailor in Guarapiranga, Sao Paulo, and a true promotor of our Class, appreciated by everyone for his enthusiasm and energy.
Many of us met Luis in Ilhabela in 2019 and remember him for being “the voice” of the Snipe World Championship, as the speaker at the official ceremonies and during the live videos of the races.
Personally, working with him in Ilhabela during the Worlds, I was able to appreciate his great empathy, generosity and professionalism.
Fair winds, Luis.
Our condolences to his family and to the Snipe Fleet Sao Paolo.
