60 boats already pre registered for the 2011 Formula 18 North Americans at Hyannis, Massachusetts.

Argentina will be present with one of our best crews, Sergio Mehl and Nicolas Aragones with a C2. These two have won the previous Worlds regattas at home. Taking Argie crew work at the 2010 NA (7th) and recent place at Balaton Worlds (15th) of Smith-Heuser, they should be near the top ten, at least is what they are expecting.

They could be the ‘dark horses’ for sure, whatch out for Mehl, when he was full on Formula Windsurfing he won the FW US Open… he had a ‘slow’ start on the local F18 and end dominating last local events, this guy grabs a new sport and commits, with some good equipment resources and raw talent he always aims high, let see what he and Nico can achieve this time.

Many US and Canada top guns present, not any European sailor registered yet.
