International 470 Class Association has welcomed Club Deportivo Clase 470 Olímpico of Chile as the newest of their members in South America.
Eight boats have so far been imported into the country this year with the majority coming from Argentina, and Chilean 470 Class President Mauricio ZULUETA has big plans for the future.
It was a tough trip back with the boats but hopefully the weather will be more sailor friendly for the first of the races of the southern season.
Their first International regatta will be the South American Championship in March 2006 and there are plans to compete at the ISAF World Sailing Games in Austria in May 2006.
