Tupac Amaru Sailing: “I believe that restoring a boat is the most ecological and sustainable way to go sailing today.” Manu and Raul share their project and experience in this fascinating interview.

The boat designer, a graduate in Naval Architecture from the public university, was crowned World Champion in the ORC 2 Class at the championship held between May 5th and 14th in the Bay of Naples, in Sorrento, Italy. He was aboard the Katara, a PG390 One Design, owned by Julián Somodi and designed by Gutiérrez himself, in one of the most prestigious regattas in international sailing.

The Chilean captain and owner presented a documentary last Saturday that chronicles the adventure of the Northern Crossing 2025 aboard her vessel. From the Pacific Nautical Brotherhood in Algarrobo, she describes her own story, which led her to win some of her country’s most prestigious medals in a project that aims to bring women closer to sailing.

The Spanish sailor made ocean racing history by completing the first non-stop circumnavigation of the world by an all-female crew from different countries. She sailed aboard the maxi trimaran IDEC Sport as part of the international project The Famous Project CIC.
