Two-time Olympic sailing champion Robert Scheidt won the Brazil Cup following seven victories in nine regattas.
His third placing in the final race Saturday saw him eclipse England's Nick Thompson and fellow Brazilian Matheus Dellagnelo for the title in Niteroi, near Rio de Janeiro, Xinhua reported.
"I was really consistent throughout, it was a great start to the year," Scheidt said.
