This is an eglish translation of a letter written by Felipe Cubillos, a Chilean entrepreneur. Mr. Cubillos died recently in a airplane crash as he was travelling to Juan Fernandez in order to cooperate with the post earthquake rebuilding effort. I have included my favorite quotes, the rest of the letter is available here
Lo que aprendí en la regata de la vuelta al mundo (in english)
If you´re fortunate to one day compete with rivals the size we had to face in this regatta, honor them, admire them, but deliver all you have to beat them fair and square, they deserve it.
...
And never take too seriously a sailor who is finishing a race around the world. He will only knows how to sail a little more, nothing else!
