Eight bullets for Cruz Smith and Ian Rodger in their imported AHPC Capricorn.
Cruz and Ian finished 50th and last Worlds in Belguim, they are racing full trim and a top notch F18 like the Capricorn always help. Second is Cruz brother Lucas, racing with Mariano Heuser who also participated at Knokke, on an Infusion.
Races are really close but the Cap boys are having an edge over the fleet.
Good debut for both imported F18s, and the production of the local Cap is on its way right now.
For the 2nd National we hope two have two local Caps racing.
Racing resume this weekend (5 day schedule over two weeks)
As I always like to point, the F18 class is growing world wide full throtle!

The experience in international champioships is the better friend now, I think.
The coach of Bahia Optimist team is in Argentina now, and visit the Rio Tecna HQ to see some Opts.
His name is Mário Urban (Marú).
Maybe you can meet him.
I ask him to see the Cap's in construction and take some pics…maybe F18 come to Brasil too! I hope Soo! =D
Hi
The current Cap at the YCA is the imported one.
Although Riotecna construction is 1st class and the one built by them will be the same quality for sure.
I will contact him.
