F18 Worlds 2012 @Long Beach: Chile is Here.
Strong presence for the new F18 Chile formed fleet. 5 Boats at Long Beach. Along the Argie fleet 16 South Americans at this 2012 Worlds @Long Beach.
The F18 is becoming a truly International Class.
Kudos to those present and also to my friend and local F18 Chile pioneer Alfonso Felipe Gutierrez Troncoso, maybe the first of our region to participate in a Worlds, Australia 2007.
Chile has been racing cats way before the Argies, and now thanks to a hardcore group lead by Johann Keller P and others they are migrating to the F18.
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
