The report on the Battle of Four put on by World Sailing to choose a singlehander for the 2024 Olympics is in. Read it here.
The decision apparently still hasn’t been made on which boat to choose for the Games, but the evaluation panel came up with the conclusion that the RS Aero and Laser are the ones to consider.
I’m going to sit down with a beer to read the report in full to see their procedures and specific conclusions. Good to know that our active fleets in the Northwest are the frontrunners.
