The last day wake up with low winds ranging from many directions. At 11:30 the race committee postponed and only restart procedures at 13:00 with the first Medal Race (Division A) scheduled for 13:30 pm Needless to say, the tension between sailors were great, but the climate of friendship and fair play remained intact. The first Medal Race was completed in 25 minutes and crowned with both titles, South American and Open A Division, the sailor who was the most complete throughout the championship, not even winning a single race throughout the series, but smartly dosed his results. Ricardo Winnick Santos "Bimba" (BRA 1) with a second place in the Medal Race, won all. Ivan Pastor (ESP 7) won the Medal Race with Lukasz Grodzicki (POL 738) in third and Shahar Zubari (ISR 11) in fourth. Here lies a speech with a very special recognition to the work of our dear Bimba. He, who in the past, had already been unjustly accused of not having enough emotional control in hard moments, starts 2009 with a title loaded with tactical skill, self control, lots of technique and speed. A victory of the great champion he is. In the Open championship the final order is (BRA 1), (ESP 7) and (ISR 11). At the South American A division championship, Albert de Carvalho (BRA 73) was second with the experienced Mariano Reutemann (ARG 8) in third. The South American title of division B went to Demita Vega De Lille (MEX 5) followed by Patricia Freitas (BRA 818) in second and Florencia Gutierrez (ARG 1) in third. Renato Amaral (BRA 179), also belonging to Bimba's social project, won the Youth South American championship, with the good Argentineans Julian Lopez Becker (ARG 15) in second and Agustín De Trápaga (ARG 10) in third. The 2009 RSX South American Championship is over. Numbers that reflect the high level of the competition and the success of a fair class to its competitors, and also, where harmony, fair competition, respect and friendship lives together. Congratulations to all who contributed to the success of the 2009 SAs and especially the RSX international class and the Búzios Vela Clube, that in a last effort reached the agreement that allowed this unique moment of class RSX in South America.
