Four US sailors are racing: Lars Guck, Ben Hall, Matt Struble, and Ben Moon. I believe Lars, Ben, and Matt will be racing the new Peter Cogan EVO II and Ben Moon will be racing a 2006 Nikita that he purchased. Matt and Lars have been working closely with Ben Hall and Jay Glaser on a new mast and sail combination that optimizes the curved daggerboards and broadens the window for trapezing downwind.
