Enrico Michel and Antonia Contin with DB-R1 “Hazel Light”, closed with a brilliant seventh place overall and first in the Masters classification. What better way to honor the memory of Enrico’s father Sergio ?!
DB MARINE developped the idea of a ”DB Sailing Academy” with the objective to make the Italian Snipe Class grow again.
The DB Sailing Academy’ goal is to support the improvement of the Snipe Class in Italy both in terms of number of active boats as well as in terms of level of skill and performance of single crews aiming to continue the tradition of competitivity of the Italian Class also in International events.
Our offer is directed to all experienced, less experienced or beginners crews coming from all the Italian territory. However any crew coming from abroad is highly welcomed. The more we are the better!
See our brochure for more informations.
DB SAILING ACADEMY ENGLISH VERSION
Ernesto Rodríguez and Kathleen Tocke powered by DB-R1 are the 2018 Western Hemisphere & Orient Champions. The Championship was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two Champions won after 10 races even if they had a difficult start since they couldn’ t race the first two races due to some healthy problem.
The brazilian team with Juliana Duque and Rafael Martins placed second and third came the argentine Lucho Pesci and Barbara Brotons.

Notwhitstanding the perfect organization of the organizing club, Società Triestina della Vela, which we would like to thank, only one race was concluded after two days of races. Therefore the Sergio Michel Trophy – South European Championship could have not been awarded for not having the minimum number of races (3) foreseen.
At the end of the of the only race there were 3 DB-R1 on the podium and 5 in the first 6 places.
Final results (one race only)

“By the way, at the Pan-Am Games, the new DB Snipes were 1,2,3, with my 1998 Persson 4th (Colombians sailing it). At the North American Champs, the new DB boats were 1,2,4, with me in my 1998 Persson third.
Luis Subie’s comment about the new boats was short and succinct, “They are much stiffer.”
Augie (Diaz) and Ernesto (Rodriguez) just describe it this way, “They are faster.”
