| Is there a list somewhere of who has already qualified?
Top ten countries at the worlds appears to be:
1.France
2. Argentina
3. Australia
4. Italy
5. New Zealand
6. Switzerland
7. Britain
8. Denmark
9. Austria
10. Netherlands
--------------------
11. Portugal
12. Russia
13. German
14. Greece
15. USA
16. Canada
etc.
If this list is right and reflects the current qualifications. The a US team will have to jump a couple of rungs and if they cant they'd be best off if the Canadian team did.
If your goal was to go to the Olympics and you didn't care about country. Then the trick would be to find a way to represent an Island in the Pacific. With Australia and New Zealand both qualified the Oceania slot is wide open.

Boston, Ma | It only matters where they finish relative to other unqualified nations.

That you knew the reference without google is Proof that you are an old fart!
I actually vaguely recall seeing his "awesome" performance on TV. Nothing like a beer-gut going down the slope. Anyone remember who it was in the "agony of defeat" ski wreck? Was that ABC sports Olympic commercial? And who was the announcer? You'll never forget his enunciation...

Annapolis, MD | ABC and Keith Jackson? don't know I ever knew the name of the downhill skier wiping out.
Obviously we want to be one of the top three remaining countries at IsAF N17 worlds.. If not that... we would would want Canada and Puerto Rico to both be in the top three... that leaves the US Fighting central american teams and the islands for the last remaining slot in the regional allocation... It would suck if the next Miami OCR is winner take all against Canada, Puerto Rico and Central America for the one remaining slot.

Boston, Ma | Sarah and Matthew are racing at the Hyeres World Cup this week. They are the only US Nacra 17 team there. I know Katie is still out with an injury, not sure about other teams. I believe it is limited entry. Results: http://www.sailing.org/worldcup/reg...;includeref=regattaevents#results__18093Not a bad first day in what sounded like light and tricky conditions, which haven't been the best for Sarah/Matthew in the past (IMHO).

Boston, Ma | Enjoyed watching the Nacra 17 medal race live this evening. The top teams are so smooth and fast- no jumps, no drama. It was a pleasure to watch.
A couple things I noticed:
1. Billy plays the main downwind like a madman. Big armfuls in and out on every single wave. They were lower and faster than every boat in the fleet.
2. I thought I trap pretty low... I have a long way to go

Annapolis, MD | Live coverage of the N17 fleet at Keil week from SAP.. JC and Kristin and the Mendelbrats are racing this week. http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showtopic=164792#entry4987697last segment of the coverage... The commentary is priceless.... My favorite was the discussion of the old men on the helms.... relative to the young ladies on the front of the boat.... its about experience right now....(yeah... that's the ticket) but... you can also appreciate the commentary on my favorite issues... That ISAF should have a scandel with a 30K euro boat... JC is renting a mast for 75 per day.. since a new one is 7K. er... affordable... NOT. about the several wheelies in 12 to 15 and flat water Some say its unstable.... and bad designed... the sailors say its a challenge... no matter... It is one design... so just go out and sail it... they love the challenge.... its about getting to Rio. Its like sailing a unicycle... The foils vary slightly and getting a good set of foils is critical because you need the exact angle of attack to be both fast and semi stable. Oh... look how flexible the boat is ... bending in the waves.. Well... they are stuck until Brazil. Hey... the empower is just brilliant in his new set of clothes...
