On Saturday morning the weather was rainy. Dense clouds over the Río de la Plata foreshadowed a storm. The postponement was inevitable and the crews had to wait 2 hours before going into dispute. At 3 pm the sun appeared and the 21 stars prepared for the only possible regatta of this day. ​With 15 knots wind from the northern sector, 5 legs and 5 dropouts were run due to breakage.

Tomás Hornos and Pedro Trouche of the American flag imposed themselves and defended the tip adding only 7 points so far in the championship. ​Meanwhile, Argentines Julio Labandeira and Julián Garazi Barroso who yesterday also played first place fell to eighth after suffering a penalty. ​For their part, Argentines Leandro and Lucas Altolaguirre crossed the finish line sixth and with 13 points are in second place. ​Daniel Della Torre and Fernando D 'Emilio, yesterday fifths, climbed to third place, placing themselves on the podium after adding 17 points thanks to a very good performance in the last two races run so far (seconds and quarters respectively).

​Until now championship leaders Tomás Hornos and Pedro Trouche told us how the championship is living.

Tomás Hornos: “The wind and wave conditions were very good. We strive to minimize errors. We work to avoid touches on the buoys and with the other boats. In addition, the Star is a complex ship and we seek to avoid breakage.

​I have been coming to this championship for nine years and the level in this edition is very high. The clinic last week allowed many of the participants to know the conditions of the Río de la Plata and get practice ”

Pedro Trouche: “It's the first time I've come, the biggest difficulties are the wind and the current. The navigation is difficult. I don't get used to the color of the river and the gusts. Today it was difficult to control Torkel ”

At 5 pm, with the work of the day already done, the ground crews were greeted with refreshing beers. And, at night, a camaraderie dinner awaited them, which they will share with the experienced historical navigators of the class.

​What will happen tomorrow?… Will Tomás and Pedro continue to lead? Will the Altolaguirre have chances of deducting 6 points and moving to first place? Will Della Torre and D 'Emilio maintain the performance? Will Labandeira and Barroso recover?

The duel is raised, the place and time too ...
