Nacra 17 - Olympic Games 2021 - Enoshima JPN

Since the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, the Nacra-17s have been tuned up and are now sailing as fully foiling catamarans. In contrast to the America's Cup-Catamarans or the large offshore trimarans, the balance on the just 6-metre-long cats is extremely challenging !Ruggero Tita/Caterina Banti ITA and John Gimson/Anna Burnett GBR are the favourites. Paul Kohlhoff/Alica Stuhlemmer GER, Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin AUS and the defending champions Santiago Lange/Cecilia Carranza ARG are also among the medal candidates. Yesterday at the opening ceremony, the two Argentinian national heroes were honored to carry their nation's flag into the stadium. The preview and the presentation-video.
