In December 2015 he underwent surgery on the scaphoid bone in his wrist after he was involved in an accident while horse riding. Although he was in plaster for about two months, he returned to training two weeks after the operation. (finnclass.org, 01 Mar 2016, 07 Sep 2015)

He began sailing at Club Veleros Barlovento in Buenos Aires, Argentina. (clarin.com, 21 Aug 2018)

He was encouraged to try the sport by his father. (ole.com.ar, 22 Aug 2018)

"The mental thing in sport is everything. Anyone can train and go to the gym, but not everyone can handle the pressure of having to get a result." (clarin.com, 21 Aug 2018)

SWITCHING CLASSES
He began competing in the Finn class in 2015, having previously raced a 49er boat. "I started sailing Finn because I couldn't sail the 49er any more. I was very heavy for that class, as I'm 190cm tall. It was really hard to have two boats, one in Argentina to train and one in Europe to race. I couldn't afford both boats so I had to quit, and then this opportunity came up." (clarin.com, 21 Aug 2018; finnclass.org, 07 Sep 2015)
