F18 Arg. San Isidro Labrador 2023: Agustín Krevisky & ‘Tigre’ Benitez 1st

Four days of excellent conditions here in Buenos Aires, from +16 knots to perfect flat mid range to 4 knots racing. Tight battle for the title till last race almost, Agustin Krevisky & Juan Martín ‘Tigre’ Benitez prevailed of Cruz G Smith & Mariano Heuser, both Scorpion / 1D. Third position for Juan Pablo Sucic & Juan Cruz Benitez (Scorpion / Landenberger) who pushed hard to the International Arg crews and were 3pts from the leaders reaching last day.

4th for Vilate & Dorbessan who continue to pressure for the podium.

We had a visitor from Chile, Paulo Gabella was invited by Agustin, and raced his former 2015 Scorpion with the current owner as crew. He did pretty well for sailing first time this platform, first time crew and else. Paulo visited us already Worlds 2016 and is an avid racer in International events.

Plenty of fun as always racing F18s, downwinds day 1 with the Phantom F18 at 21 knots of speed were a blast. Happy to be racing again every regatta, which was not possible for me since 2016.
