Today, 13 April, with all its sails deployed, under the most important meeting of the Bicentennial boating and probably the world this year, arrived at the port of Valparaiso Fleet "Velas South America 2010", comprised of 11 schools of the Armed Vessels Argentina (Freedom), Chile (Esmeralda), Spain ("Juan Sebastian Elcano"), Holland ("Europa"), Uruguay ("Capitán Miranda"), Colombia ("Gloria"), Portugal ("Sagres "), Brazil (" Cisne Branco "), Mexico (" Cuhautémoc "), Ecuador (Guayas) and Venezuela (Simon Bolivar).

SISDEF takes this opportunity to give them the warmest of welcomes to each and every one of the crews of the vessels involved, which contribute decisively with their presence to give prominence to this activity, in the bicentenary of our independent republic.

To everyone we wish:

"good wind and better sea"
