In the second fleet the champions were Jorge and Daniel Hernandez that now will be upgraded to the first fleet. Second place was another father – son crew, Armando and Felipe De Mulder.

As usual, sun and rain were present with winds from 5 to 18 knots throughout the weekend.

Old Snipe boats are being restored and newer boats are starting to be fetched around the world for our country.

It´s a big challenge to have this fleet in Tomine lake regatta (2700 MASL / 8850 FASL). Thanks to Francisco.
