The Nacra 17 is a bit too powerful and too innovative for the (needed) renovation of the local SC15 and SC17 fleet. However, if the Viper was chosen, we would probably be able to convince people to buy a few. ISAF's choice close the doors to our dream of sending a cat to Rio 2016.
I guess the same will happen in other small countries.
How come??? just buy the Vipers or Falcons for that matter, and train the same, cause if someone in your, or any other fleet will try to clasify for the Olympics they can get really good on an F16, and I think is the perfect boat to jump for the N17 afterwards without too much adaptation.
Right there is mistake in my view.
In ARG once having the F18 fleet, whichever boat was elected it was transparent for us, as the best guys can ride whatever you put them in front.
That is now, but with Lange-Espínola it was just two guys training alone in Europe with the Tornado fleet with no local multi fleet whatsoever.
Two examples that grass roots does not have a direct influence on the Olympics, but having them will elevate the possible new atlhetes.
The best thing you can do to form future Olympians is just buying those F16.
