10 AUT/DEN (Both are on 31 points!)

This can still evolve of course. No big surprises in this list so far, ARU is really a NED with second passports pissed off at not having be selected by their country…



Strictly speaking that's not correct, Aruba is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Which means they have Dutch passports just like in the rest of the kingdom smile
Pretty awesome if they make the top 10 countries though, they worked very hard to get there with very limited funds (no coach etc).
The other Dutch team which is just sailing for fun is now in 29th position, which is well inside the gold fleet.
