Culminó de manera brillante la 47 edición de la tradicional Semana Internacional del Yachting de Mar del Plata. La jornada amaneció a pleno sol, calurosa y con muy poco viento del sector Oeste. Pero al comenzar a bajar los barcos al agua el viento cambió al Sur y luego se estableció del E con poca intensidad que se fue incrementando con el transcurso de la tarde.

Rocio is relatively new to sailing Snipes but just like her sister Trixy, they got a love of the boat from their dad who's been sailing Snipes for many years. There's a little bit of rivalry between the sisters and racing Snipes is a good way to make that rivalry fun.

Rocio likes the sharing of information that's a part of sailing Snipes, even at this level at the Women's Worlds. There's a lot of using your head to get the boat around the course, but at the end of the day, you know you've accomplished something.

Sailing has been in Trixy's blood since she was a little girl when she started in the Optimist Class at age seven. When she aged out, it was no surprise that she chose the Snipe. Her dad started sailing Snipes when he was 18.

She's excited that the Snipe is a really complete boat, one that can be sailed competitively by young and old, big and small, because the boat can be tuned to the conditions of the day. You still have to use your head to finish well, tactics are very important. Most of all it's a fun boat to sail, especially when you finish 2nd at the Snipe Women's Worlds.
