Yes, the NAHCA did support that round.
US Juniors don't sail a chute boat Neither the SL16 or the H16 with chutes are doable in the US in 2010. We have Waves and Hobie 16's.
This is symptomatic of the value we really place on international competition, the Olympics, ISAF, etc etc.
True that we don't have any youth in the US racing Hobie 16 with spinnaker or SL16's. That doesn't mean that we don't place a value on international competition. We have always had plenty of US youth attending the Hobie 16 Worlds and the class runs a Hobie 16 Youth North Americans every year.
