Nacra 17 @Miami Midwinters 2016 for Buhler-Brugger
Photo: Buhler-Brugger FB – Skiff & RSX Miami Midwinters was the previous event before ISAF World Cup 2016 which will define last places for Rio 2016. In Nacra 17 Mathias Bulhler & Nathalie Brugger From Switzerland and now coached by Legend Mitch Booth, won the Worlds warmup regatta over the Danish Viking crews with Norregaard/Viborg & Cenholt/Lubeck in 2nd & 3rd respectively.
Moth Master Borta Gualari & Louisa Chfee scored two bullets. Need to check if the US crew is already defined. Spain will define their representative too , while Ven, Uruguay & Guatemala (Hobie 16 top riders and H16 North Americans Champs Jason Hess & Irene Abascal) will fight for the Continetal slot as the US has secured theirs.

If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
