Posts: 554 Boston, Ma | This is the first event of the USA Team Selection for Rio. Second event will be the Worlds in Clearwater. Lots of good teams and many good friends and family racing. I'm just hoping that everyone gets through the week with no injuries or breakages, and that the best teams rise to the top. Gulari/Chafee were the top US team at the recent Miami midwinters with two bullets on the last day. http://www.regattanetwork.com/event/11485#_newsroom+results

Mendleblatts and Gulari/Chafee doing well because of consistency. Those keeper scores could be really helpful later in the event.

The Mendelbrats come from Olympic success in traditional sloops. eg.. Classical tactical sailboat racing skills. Bora comes from wining the foiling moth worlds.... so high performance max apparent wind experience. Sarah and Matt come from the world of beach cats... While Mike comes out of the college sailing club 420 world of tactical sailboat and team racing into the multihull world.
My bet is that developing the instincts for cats and moths during those formative years is an advantage.. So Sarah/Matt and Gulliari/Chaffee have an edge. Time will tell.
Of course, The USA still barely cracks the top 20 world wide.
My take home... Folks.... should get their talented daughters to cross train in multihulls along with their training in 420s.... Time in the boats at an early age should be the key!
We will see if the US Selection supports my theory.
