- MEX-001 Xolotl was built by Vator Oy Ab in Helsinki, Finland for the Mexican olympic commission. She was sailed by the Mexican team, skippered by Victor de la Lama, in the Tokyo olympics of 1964. Xolotl finished last of the 15 participating boats, mostly because she was introduced to the sailing team only shortly before the games.
