Nacra 17, 2018 Miami Skiff Midwinter Regatta: Lange & Carranza 1st
Photo: Santi Lange fb. – Pre event for Miami WC 2018. Santi Lange (aka “Super Nono” or “Grandpa Juice” a la Ginobili..) & Ceci Carranza won over Ben Saxton & Katie Dabson after 8 races. 3rd overall for 2016 Bronze medalist Thomas Zajac now sailing with Barbara Matz. The complete Rio podium was present, with Waterhouse & Darmanin finishing in 4th place.
Good to see Grandpa performing in foiling mode, a real challenge for him and Ceci against experienced cat foiling helms like Zajac & Waterhouse.
Lange-Carranza trained here in Buenos Aires along Arg youth promises Majdaleni-Bosco, but sadly I have some building cat work pending and couldn’t go out with the kids as planned.
Bora Gulari & Helena Scutt back into racing, some good results but two dns & a dnf put them back. This event is preparation for coming major regatta Miami WC to be held January 21-28.

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
