The competition will have more than 100 vessels on the north coast of Sao Paulo, between July 23-30
Still more than three months before the 50th International Sailing Week in Ilhabela, SIVI, registration for the event in the north coast city of São Paulo is in full swing. One of the confirmed boats is Bravo, which will be skippered by Jorge Berdasco, but now in the C30 class.
The boat has undergone modifications for the competition in the city of São Paulo. The mode’s most traditional event in South America will be held between July 23 and 30, 2023 at the Ilhabela Yacht Club. In addition to the C30, the Ilhabela International Sailing Week will have more than 100 boats from the BRA-HPE25, Classics, Bico de Proa, VPRS, HPE30, ORC and RGS classes, which was the Bravo category.
“We are very excited about the Ilhabela International Sailing Week and the new boat. We are learning to surf with him. It was almost love at first sight. It is a glider boat, while the previous one was a displacement. This changes a lot in sailing. She is a very fast boat and sensitive to any type of regulation,” Berdasco said.
And the transition from a slower sailing boat, a Skipper 30, to a racing Carabelli 30, took place in an unusual way.
“At the start of last year’s Toque-Toque regatta we changed boards to VIA Italia, a C30. In one of the maneuvers we almost hit them, we were under a lot of pressure, with the boat anchored. talk to their captain, he apologized. for the maneuver and we were watching the boat. They instigated us: “you have to sail a glider boat”. And as a bonus, we were offered the C30. We have strengthened it a lot,” added Jorge.
Classes C30, RGS-C, Bico de Proa (categories A, B and C) and Multihulls will compete in the Toque-Toque Regatta by Starboard with 25 nautical miles, and Renato Frankenthal – for HPE25 only – with 10 nautical miles.
The event includes up to 12 races for the C30 and HPE 25 one-design classes and ten for the others. The competition will open with the Alcatrazes by Starboard regatta. Throughout the week, the organization will organize regattas according to sea and wind conditions, which can take place on the São Sebastião Channel or on the north and south lanes of the island. There will be three types: long, medium and barla-sota (between the buoys).
the female boat is an attraction
The XX Women Sailing Team is another confirmed team. The team was created by women with prominent positions in the market, with the aim of strengthening the female presence in ocean sailing. Under the leadership of Valéria Ravani, who in recent years has held the position of global executive director of a line of pharmaceuticals, they want to demonstrate that they can occupy all the contested spaces of the modern world.
“Sailing Week is our Carnival. The organization is wonderful, we meet loved ones and we always enjoy the event in the best possible way,” said sailor Daniela Sanchez, of the XX Women Sailing Week.
