The S/V VICTORY is the largest yacht flying the Chilean flag

The VICTORY may act as a mother ship for sea kayakers.
Her ample decks hold up to 6 double kayaks.
Kayakers have warm bunks and food while they explore
Cape Horn and the fjords and channels at the "ends of the earth".

a 19th century cargo vessel.
