Looks like :ARU Mack van den Eerenbeemt didn't use his historic Pan Am success at all to launch his Olympic campaign. :nopompom:

Bermuda is down and out, while Trinidad and Tobago is about to get blown away by the Canadian navy.

What a disappointing qualifier in terms of universality... Hope to see some continental restrictions next time around (like there are in rowing).

Not sure if that's feasible. Outside of Laser/Laser Radial there aren't many other nations competing in North America/Caribbean so we'd end up with a lot of reallocated spots. For example if we had the same restriction as rowing we would have reallocated the Women's RS:X, 470 and 49erFX and possibly the Men's 470 and/or 49er, depending on which boat Mexico decided to compete in.

What hurts more is that they reduced our Laser/Laser Radial continental quota down to one and made the other one a competition against Central/South America

Yeah where’d he go off to? He’s probably the best windsurfer in Pan America (even if his Pan Am performance didn’t reflect that)

Barcelona apparently?

Maybe he didn't update his geo-tag.

I am a bit lost here with updating the qualification thread, is the event finished or will resume tomorrow with another races, and the Laser/Laser Radial events are the only with 2 qualified boats both, right ?

Sorry for dumb questions, but I am really completely lost in sailing and how it works

It was completed today. Only one quota was available for both Laser events. :TTO Trinidad and Tobago qualified in men's Laser.
