Well, as it turns out, there are multiple Youth championships listed on the US SAILING website, just like for adults: http://www.ussailing.org/Championships/ So, I guess to answer my own question, this makes sense to US SAILING... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In all reality, it seems the ISAF Youth qualifier is a separate event than the USSA "Youth Championships" event.

Thanks for pointing this out, this is fabulous news and we need to make this continue.
