Seriously there is no telling. There are 7-10 teams that have a real shot, and for me I have to go with the hometown team and the 2008 NAF18 Champions Robbie Daniel and Hunter Stunzi.

At this time there is no newly designed Capricorn. As with any F18 the designers/builders are always looking for ways to improve their boats but as far as the Capricorn goes, this is still a ways off.

This information comes from Jill Nickerson the North American distibuter of the Capricorn and Viper.

So the short of it, no new Capricorn at Worlds.

Robbie and Gregs boats are scheduled to leave for Worlds next week (their boats are in the same container).
