The Royal Cape Yacht Club and Iate Club do Rio de Janeiro are delighted to have received the first Multihull entry.
‘Aventureiro 4′ is an Outremer 51 belonging to Johan “Hans” Hutzler, who is no stranger to the Cape2Rio Race, having been the navigator aboard ‘Saravah’ in the 2020 race.
In 2023 Hans will be skippering his own boat. He has a long and established history of small boat ocean racing in his native Brazil, with participation in numerous classes over the last 40 years. Introduced to sailing by his grandfather, he has participated in Optimist, Lasers, Hobie 16 Cats and Dingue racing, a two person local class in Brazil which he sails with his wife. He has also achieved numerous national titles along the way.
Hans and his family recently delivered ‘Aventureiro 4′ from France to Brazil. It is their intention to participate in numerous local events in Brazil, including a quest for the Blue Ribbon in the biggest Brazilian ocean race, the Refeno Regatta.
The Cape2Rio Race 2023 starts on 2 January 2023.
