The J/70 South American Championship 2025, hosted by the Yacht Club Argentino, brought together top crews from across the continent for four days of racing right off the Buenos Aires skyline. The Río de la Plata served up mostly light, shifty winds and flat water, demanding patience, precision, and perfect teamwork from every boat.
The full 10-race shedule was completed. In the end, the team from the USA mastered the tricky conditions to take the South American title. - ARGCF9
