Guatemala's David Hernandez continues to excel and claimed the gold medal at the Sunfish® Open Event of the 2018 CAC Games in Barranquilla, Colombia.
The regatta was held at Marina Puerto Velero, the same venue used for the 2018 South American Championships earlier this year.
Twelve sailors, each representing a different nation, participated at this year's Olympic-style regional games. David Hernandez had a tight battle with Cuba's Lester Hernandez, trading firsts and seconds over the course of the 9-race series. The Cuban sailor clinched the silver medal, while Peter Stanton from the US Virgin Islands took bronze.
