IJ - International Jury (Uruguay)
I started sailing at the Yacht Club Uruguayo when I was 12 years old. From that moment on, I became increasingly involved in the nautical world. As is customary, I began sailing in Optimist and later moved on to Laser (ILCA), Snipe, Windsurf, J-24, and other keelboats. I was the National Runner-Up in the Laser class and the National Runner-Up in the Snipe class. Internationally, I competed in three South American Championships in the Laser class (Mar del Plata, Argentina; Florianópolis, Brazil; and Punta del Este, Uruguay). In 2018, I was an assistant coach for two months for the Optimist competition fleet at the Club Náutico de Carrasco y Punta Gorda (UY).
