Looks like an amazing line up for the Tornado class at the Miami OCR, starting on Wednesday. In addition to the US Sailing team members there is a big list of international talent including:

Hagara and Steinacher (AUT) the 2000 Olympic Gold Medallists.

Backes and Voiron (FRA) second at the 2000 Worlds and won the Europeans

Mitch Booth is a Tornado world champion and two time Olympic medallist (bronze ’92 and silver in ’96)

Wallen (SWE) is a silver medallist in the Star (’96)

May and Styles (GBR) 6th at the 2000 Olympics and just won the US Nationals in December.

plus
Gabler (GER) 2000 Tornado Broze Medallist
Landenberger (GER) 1996 Tornado sliver medallist (sailed w/ Booth)
he's also a European champion
Guichard (FRA) 4th at the last Olympics in the Tonado

If a US team could break into the top five at this regatta it would be a huge acomplishment.
