| Sailed at the Iate Clube de Brasilia, Brazil. Report from http://www.boia1.com.br/: The 7th District Championship was sailed over three days on the waters of Lake Paranoá in Brasilia . The regatta served as one of the selections for the Star World Championship 2010 in Rio de Janeiro. After seven good races the crew of the Yacht Club of Brasília, Lars Grael and Renato Moura, were the champions with four wins, one second and a seventh place. Therefore, Lars and Renato have guaranteed their entry in the 2010 Worlds. “This event had a record number of entries (30) for Brazil which shows the strength of the Star class in our country and the organizing ability of the Yacht Club of Brasília and the Paranoá Star,” said the champion Lars Grael. In addition to Lars Grael and Renato Moura four other pairs qualified for the world championship They are, in the order of ranking in the event, Gastão Brun / Marco Grael, Andrew Mirsky / Mauricio Bueno, Alessandro Pascolato / Henry Boening, and Peter Ficker / Ubiratan Matos. Horacio Carabelli, a member of the crew of Torben Grael (who leads the Volvo Ocean Race as skipper on the Swedish boat Ericsson 4,) sailing in Brasilia with the experienced crew Ronald Seifert, finished the championship in sixth place after breaking his mast in the second race on Saturday when the gusts were at20 knots. “My goal was to win a place for the worlds and I also can do that by qualifying from the Rio de Janeiro fleet in spite of finishing the sixth here in the districts. Now, with that duty, I will focus on getting to the World Championship,” said Horacio. |
