The Power of a Team Despite being on the other side of the world, Argentina has proudly won Olympic medals in the last five Olympic games. From the brown waters of the Rio de la Plata, the fresh water of many lakes or the rough waves of the Argentinean sea, sailors from this country have proven to achieve the unexpected in strong top teams of TP52, America’s Cup or The Ocean Race. In addition to its sailing tradition, this country also has some worldwide distinguished yacht designers such as Germán Frers and Juan Koyoumdjian. Last but not least, we have one of the best optimist factories in the planet (Lange-Riotecna), something that our captain started more than 30 years ago. For the SSL Gold Cup, Argentina has put together a team that combines the broad experience from Olympic medalist and TP52 top sailors, together with young sailors who aim to bring energy and fresh ideas to the team. Statistics THE COUNTRY ACHIEVEMENTS Ssl ranking MAIN EVENTS is the year when the country hosted and won the FIFA World Cup. This event was significant for Argentina as it brought national pride and unity during a time of political unrest and economic struggles.

Santiago Lange Santi is probably the most decorated and known sailor in Argentina. He has 3 Olympic medals, including the amazing Gold in the Nacra 17 class. He is not only a top-class sailor: he is also a Naval Architect, and has been involved in many America’s Cup campaigns, being part of the design as well as the sailing team.

THE LEADERS
Gabriel Marino, an experienced sailor in large vessels, has shone in thirteen seasons of TP52 (2007-2020), standing out in the Audi Med Cup and the 52 Super Series.

Driven by her passionate dedication to the sport, Victoria Travascio achieved a notable triumph by winning a South American Championship alongside her older sister, Mercedes. In the 29er category, she participated in two world championships, developing a strong preference for skiffs, which motivated her to choose sailing in the 49er FX with the firm goal of competing in the Olympic Games. Her trajectory includes participation in two Pan American Games and two Olympic Games, culminating in a remarkable fifth place in the latter.
