Update on Brazilian Finn project - December 2008

[original story]

Jorge Rodrigues writes from Rio de Janeiro "Here follows a few pictures of our boat, just prior to go to the sea at the first time. I gave to Lorenzo, the boat builder, the right to be the first one to sail the boat, as the wind was very light on this day.  The sailor with the black shirt is Henry Boenning (Maguila), our National Champion, that will be our test sailor. I am the third person in the pictures, with a can of beer on my hand.  We already sailed our boat and everyone was surprised on how fast the boat is performing. I still need to weight the boat, but the first results were excellent."
