Brazilian Nats 2015

The Brazilian A-Class Association has base in Sao Paulo, at the Guarapiranga lake/dam. They have a mix of designs racing together, all having fun as I could see from Ronaldo Fernandes, owner of an 18yrs old Marstrom the first A-Class arrived to Brasil (photo Below), was named also vice president for next period.

From Argentina we already are in contact with them, and we will try to organize an event together in the future.

Swiss Assoc present at Suisse Nautic expo

Suisse Nautic 2015 report

The SACA was present at the Suisse Nautic exhibition which took place in Bern from 18th to 22nd of February. Thanks to the engagement of the "Scheurer & Caviezel Team" and a bunch of dedicated volunteers, we showed our favourite boat in a spectacular setup.

Many visitors looked at the flying boats on the screen, asked questions, wanted to touch the foils, and in general showed great interest. I hope we will see some of these sailors joining our class sooner or later.
