Interesting point re college..Dean Brenner, Olympic director up through London and his position was... Olympic talent is Olympic talent... you can take a college all american....coach em up in a high performance boat and be competitive in 4 and win medals in 8 years.... His evidence... Johnny and Charlie... After the Wehyouth debacle no cats)... Josh Adams is the new Olympic director and he is implementing the youth and olympic development program (that Mike L noted). Presumably the college crowd wasted time in C420s with no spins! Scarecrow sums it up... they spent 4 years learning how to make others go slow...
So... is the talent wasting their time in college sailing? Can they do both... train in high perormance and complete a degree? Can they do all three... Sail for a college program, train in high performance and get a degree? What is the college experience for the N17 fleet? Presumably the college crowd wasted time in C420s with no spins! But... did they race something else high performance during that time?
I don't know all of the teams... so help out here.
Robbie Daniel / Sarah Streater Old Fart... No College / Currently in college ... finding time and money for both c420s and n17s.
Mike Easton/ Kattie Pettibone College / College
Mark Mendelbrat / His Wife Old Fart & Olympic sailor / ??
