Punta del Este 2015: “Flying in a Blue Dream” II
Punta del Este is one special place for sailing, located in the Uruguay coast, two hour Ferry from Buenos Aires.
In 2008 we delivered the first Uru F18 , and we filmed a smooth video in Punta Ballenas, one of the area bays.
Old videos from YT have gone super low quality, but it was nice blue Sea/Sky/Spi ride edited with Satriani’s song.
Now 7 years later new foiling tech available made a real flying dream come true. Juan & Nico foiling the Nacra 20 FCS with style.
In contrast check previous post, a Dakar Rally tough ground vs Formula 1 Circuit scenario, but those river muddy/choppy waters made these two guys above the fastest crew a past 2014 US F18 Nats.
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
