They sailed the last three races of the championship in light winds from 8 to 11 knots with consistency improving during the day first with a fourth then a second then their last bullet of the series.

BRA 78 team equilibrium sailed by Nelson Ilha, Gustavo Ilha and Pedro Ilha finished the event in second, even having to discard the last race which they closed the course finishing last, but it was their discard. During the series they had only one bullet on race number six.

BRA 86 team STE Alarmes sailed by Cicero Hartmann, Vilnei Goldmeier and Andre Renard didn't had their best series, receiving a DSQ on race five and then today with a 3rd a bullet and a sixth was just enough to keep the podium over BRA 128 with Dennis Koch, Alexandre Mueller and Eduardo Carneiro by just two points.

The YCPE hosted a great prize giving with drinks and food for the sailors like every day with their after races, every team got a gift for their participation.

Team USA 853 took the mic to thanks not only the excellent organization but also the Uruguayan Navy who lended one of their old Soling to replace their own which could not leave the club after the trailer broke an axe three blocks on their way to the Ferry.
