F18 Arg, YCA ‘Corbeta Patagon’ 2014: Esteban Blando & Eugenia Bosco 1st
Another mixed win in our local F18 fleet. Esteban Blando & Eugenia Sanchez Bosco won the weekend racing at the YCA. Esteban is now campaigning for Rio with Eugenia, a talented 16yrs old youth coming from the 29er/FX fleet.

First event of the lcoal season was our sea coast in Mar del Plata where a Sub joined the regata…check pic at catsailingnews.com/2014/02/mar-del-plata-sailing-week-f18s-optis.html
