Andinista how is the cat sailing down there? How many cats are in the area? Is there a regatta schedule or any regattas at all?

It is concentrated near Santiago, lake Rapel, Aculeo, Vichuquén, probably Algarrobo in the ocean (I don´t go there often). I lived in the south until four years ago and it was very rare to see other cats (not the same for monohulls). In Rapel (I moved the cat there this year), there are more cats, P19s, some newer Nacras, many P16s and P18s, and Nacra 5.0 and 5.7., H16s and H17s too, and other Hobies.
This weekend were the Nationals in Vichuquén

I don´t know what happed with www.catamaranes.cl, the cat sailing website, it seems like they didn´t pay the bill...
Well, that´s just very general info, I am a recreational sailor and, as I said, I was far from where cat action is.
I believe Argentinos are good in Tornado. We have a good Lightning crew, 5 times world champions.
