Report by Lars Grael: Thirteen boats and sensational sailing The oldest continuous Brazilian Star regatta, Darke de Mattos, had its 69th edition on January 19. 13 boats participated, representing the DF (Admar Gonzaga 8391 / winner in 2010, with #8287 "Cule') and some illustrious champions of the past, including: Augusto Barrozo (South American Champion 2000) and Pedro Carvalho da Fonseca Bulhões, former Brazilian Star Champion. With the record for victories (13) in the race, there was John King. We were treated to a rare southwest wind, which allowed the flotilla to finish the course in about 2 hours. This was my second win in this race, sailing with Renato Moura on "Come Together / LIGHT". In second place was Daniel Wilcox with Fernando Island crewing on "Maxima Culpa". Completing the podium were Carlinhos Dohnert and Gustavo Kunze with #7777 "Xu". The special award, "Chulipa Gold", was won by #7200 "Ninotchka" and Ballesté Fernando with Murillo Novaes. At the award ceremony, the traditional fish stew was served in the presence of the Commodore ICRJ and Family Darke de Mattos. The Star class at Rio de Janeiro rests in February, but begins again in Sao Paulo and Brasilia in March. |
