Hanging out

Lucas Gonzalez Smith is one of the one of the 1st Laser guys to joined the Arg F18, he worked with us for a while and helped to form the fleet with the RCs.
Now he is crewing an Infusion as a Pro sailor and he is always up there, and sometimes having an extra gear over the fleet. On Sunday with 5-6knots he end the last regatta hanging out to leeward to fly one hull, he wasn´t under pressure as they were some 100mts or more ahead (same or more advantage in their 3 bullets) but he was pushing boat speed as if the win depended on it.
Committed and focused sailor, as good as they come.
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
