Enigma Claims Title

Campeonato Argentino IMS 2005

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Carlos Jasson HARDIE's Enigma came out top of the Campeonato Argentino IMS, hosted by the Yacht Club Argentino in Buenos Aires, Argentina last weekend.

The Enigma team got off to a solid start, posting top five finishes in the opening three races. However in races four to six their form slipped, whilst Santiago MESA on Memo Memulini scored two bullets and a third to hold the lead.

The final two races proved to be crucial, with MESA unable to maintain his form and dropping to 18th and ninth places. Meanwhile Andrea BASAGANA on Wonder Wooman scored a third and second place to move above MESA, but it was HARDIE who proved his class, taking bullets in both races to win by a clear ten point margin.
