Argentinean National Championship - Event Wrap

A mixed wind offering and current was the order of play at the recently held 470 Argentinean National Championship hosted by the Yacht Club Argentino, from 17-20 December 2009. Racing on the Rio del Plata off Buenos Aires city, sailors from Argentina and Chile contested the Championship.

 

Victory was very sweet for Fernanda Sesto and Consuelo Monsegur from the host club, who dominated the Championship from start to finish, with a score line of 8 first places and 2 seconds. Sitting at an impressive ninth in the ISAF Sailing World Rankings – you would expect such a level of performance from this pairing.

The second placed crew of Gonzalo and Amuchastegui and Tirso Sanchez Brizuela, also representing the host club, were left in the wake of Sesto and Monsegur and ran up a tally of more than double their points. Third was Francisco Sucari and Marcos Lamas (ARG).
