With the J/70 2025 World Championship in Buenos Aires approaching, one helpful sailor wanted to share a free resource that could be valuable for competitors.

He has created a comprehensive online guide to help international teams navigate the challenges of competing in Argentina: covering everything from sailing conditions and boat logistics to accommodations and local insights.

For many crews, Buenos Aires may feel distant and unfamiliar, making planning more complex. The goal of this guide is to simplify the process and make it easier for teams to organize themselves and fully enjoy this fantastic event.

This is purely a passion project, with no financial interests or affiliations. Walter Saettone is offering it for free as a way to support the J/70 community.
