Latest Activities

The Sundowner series is going with only 4 races to go (2 more Saturdays). My last race on the boat was on September 20th. I skippered the boat in winds between 0 and 3 knots. The Farr 39 is a extremely good light air vessel. We managed to score a 1st and 3rd places, keeping our leadership over the fleet on the series.


As scheduled, I finally made it to Texoma's Wunderlick Regatta for his 2008 edition. My regular position as trimmer on the Farr 39 ML Team Mauri Pro Sailing was as demanding as always, but this time for a longer period due to the mileage of the race course. Winds were light and stable. It started in the neighborhood of 8- 10 knots and went suddenly decreasing as the end of the day approached, so we were able to extend our lead, winning the event by more than 6 minutes over the second (corrected time).

Being based in North Texas does not allow too much training on the water during summer. Working on a sailboat-related company helps keep me active in terms of stat-of-mind giving also a break to the physical act of sailing. Back to gym training and following up on the Olympics are the main "keep up" activities until the local season starts again in late September.

Next upcoming event is the Texoma's Wunderlick Regatta, hosted by the Texoma Sailing Club on August 30 the and 31st. I will be trimming headsails and spinnakers for the Farr 39 Mauri Pro Sailing Team.
