Chao Pescao's Chili Midwinter Adventure: From Mid-Fleet to Podium Finish!

Team Chao Pesco - Winter 2024-2025 Level 2 Development Race Team

Winter 2024-2025 Level 2 Development Race Team Results

With a total of five races from November to March, the 2024-2025 SYC Chili Midwinter Series have just concluded, leaving behind a trail of thrilling races and some truly remarkable performances. Among them, our very own Club Team Chao Pescao, that competed as part of Modern Sailing Level 2 Development Racing Program. The team etched their name in the annals of this year's series, demonstrating a stunning growth in skills and competitiveness.

Starting the season as a solid mid-fleet contender with a 4th and two consecutive 5th place finishes in a fleet of 9 boats, the team demonstrated a relentless dedication to honing their tactics and boat handling. As the series progressed, Chao Pescao's consistency improved, and their understanding of the challenging conditions grew. This culminated in a breathtaking finale where Chao Pescao sailed to victory in the final two races of the series. This remarkable achievement propelled them to a well-deserved second place in the overall classification.

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.
