Marazzi And De María Win Star South American Championship
Rio de Janerio, Brazil: Flavio Marazzi and Enrico De Maria (SUI) won the Star South American Championship. A 70-boat fleet assembled in Rio de Janerio for the regatta. The regatta is viewed by all as the precursor for the 2010 Star World Championship, which will take place at the same venue in January.
Marazzi/DeMaria's consistency enabled them to distance themselves Adler/Gullherme (BRA) by nine points leaving many teams to scramble for the other podium positions. Fewer than 20 points separated the second through ninth place teams.
The Swiss team has been ranked #1 by ISAF since July. They placed eighth at the 2009 Star World Championship in Varberg, Sweden. Determined to win a Star World Championship, Marazzi/DeMaria have been in Brazil, along with many international teams, practicing for a string of Brazilian Star regattas leading up to the upcoming world championship. --
