Olympics Trials: MNAs to select/send sailors

by · Published · Updated

Isaf has invited MNAs to select and send their crews to participate on the trials at Santander. AHPC is ready and Nacra will send their projectS too. Waiting for Gunnar’s replies on his interview to know more about their boats to be presented.
I guess obviously the Nacra F16, the Infusion F18 OD and something to match the Phantom project.
