Diminich and Santos are new WH and O Champions!

Edgar Diminich & Jaime Santos of Ecuador captured the 2016 Western Hemisphere & Orient title in a tie breaker with Brazilians Rafael Gagliotti and Henrique Wisniewski.  Sailing fairly consistently over the week, the regatta came down to the race 4 which Diminich & Santos won, giving them the win on the tiebreaker. The fleet saw varying conditions to test all skills. Congratulations to Edgar & Jaime & an automatic entry into the Worlds in Spain in 2017!
