The Brazilian Mateus Tavares today begins the defense of the title of the World Championship of the Senior-open category, which begins in Galician waters, organized by the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña. A total of 85 crews, the maximum allowed by the International Association of the Snipe Class (SCIRA), have registered in this competition.

Tavares leaves as the current champion and is the highest candidate for the asbolite victory... in the most quality group appear among others his compatriot Bruno Bethlem who was the gold four years ago. Brazil presents in A Coruña a large and powerful fleet, in which there are no lack of regatists already rolled in these waters after the Youth World Cup, such as Felipe Rondina, Nicholas Pellicano or Leonardo Lombardi.

One of the selected people who tried to make things difficult for Brazilians in Argentina... with Luis Soubie at the head of the current world's subchampion... the Red does not want to miss this good opportunity to get a title that he has not won since the 1970s. In Talamone, the Malagasy Alvaro Martínez, also on this year's list of entries in La Coruña, was bronze. For the first day it is planned that three sleeves, out of 11 of the total of the programme, are held.
