From Cezar Castro – fleet 516 Brasília

Snipes are making a strong comeback on Brasilia’s Paranoa Lake as the 516 fleet reunited three sailing generations in the Jeffrey Shaw cup, a 2 day tournament in honor of a young 81-year-old athlete who fell in love with Snipes in 2012 which was when he started sailing and had his first lessons. Today he is an example for young and old sailors alike and his enthusiasm, dedication and desire is so strong that he wants to sail even if there is no wind. Eleven boats disputed the 4th  Jeffrey Shaw cup that reunited the older, the present and the future sailing generations and the participation in the event of young members of the Optmist class added a special brilliance. New winds are blowing in fleet 516 sails, promising a strong return of the class in Brazil’s capital.
