Patagonia Argentina: Life´s Good

Check List: House in front the Ocean, your Cherokee and most important your brand new RC Cruiser ready for your next Raid.

Setting up the two brand new RC Cruisers – To the side RC #2 (Cruiser Dic 2006) RC #4 (F18) hulls

Pablo Querol and Matías Soriano, both owners of two brand new RCs at Playa Unión, Rawson, Chubut, Argentina (near Puerto Madryn)

Besides the F18 project I also had the possibility to know a lot of interesting characters, not only racers, but hardcore guys like Pablo who asked us in mid 2006 after seeing our prototype F18 sailing, to build a Cruiser for some Raids in the Patagonian coast.
We ended selling him the #2 boat of the project, our best boat till now, fully equiped and a perfect tank for storm riding (heavy hulls, 3mt wide, 8mts Mast, Roller Furler for main and Jib etc) . After three years of sailing her, Pablo decided to upgrade for a lighter and more powerfull Cruiser (9mts mast, lighter hulls)
He decided to Cat cruising after several years of making Windsurfing raids in 40knots breezes along the same coast with his friend Felipe Tomassi, who partnered the Guru of beachcat Raiding , Beto Pandiani, in their 4 month trip from Puerto Month, Chile to Ilha Bela, Brazil through Cape Horn. That raid was made in Hobies 21, and then Pandiani made a North raid in an Eagle 20…
The philosophy of Pandiani for a lighter Cruiser is to speed up between storms with the Eagle, and with the H21 you can have a slower ride but more margin for tough conditions.

Now with a ligther Cruiser, Pablo and Matías should also arrive earlier to destination in low winds but they must reef earlier too!!
They already made several raids in Puerto Madryn, and now they also are going to sail in Bahía Bustamante, 200 kms from Madryn, where Matías has a special place in his family lands in front the Ocean. Check thess photos and contact him for a 1st Class Patagonian Experience
