note
Bruno tried several classes
(Optimist, Holder, Penguin, Snipe,
Laser and Finn) until he practiced
Star. He began to sail with Robert
Scheidt in 2001 but, at that time,
his partner’s main focus was the
Laser class. In 2005 Scheidt
changed to the Star class and the
two started to struggle for a place
in Beijing. He is the bowman of
the boat and has known Scheidt
since childhood.
