All images Sander van der Borch / sandervanderborch.com. Full gallery at CSN FB. Even before the N17 events
started the Dutch & French crews  were favorites and they are confirming the stakes.  This time the French took the podium on ‘enemy’ land , relegating the locals to 3rd and 4th.
Three events and three diff winners, marking the level this Olympic Class has. The top teams were again in the top ten but no one has a guarantee podium.
After a no show at Palma and Hyeres Australia presented 4 crews , with Waterhouse-Darmanin on an excellent 6th overall.
There is a bit of injustice with sailing related to other sports as here only one team will represent their country flag, and it is clearly that at least two should be allowed to participate. More taking account the work involved to classify and to even win a medal, sailing for sure is on of the toughest sports regarding that aspect in the Olympics.
