Announcement: USA and Canada to use Hobie 16 NA's as Trials for Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro
US Sailing and the Canadian Yachting Association have selected the 2006 Hobie 16 North Americans as their respective Pan Am trials for sailing in the Open Multihull discipline. Brazil will host the 2007 Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro. This elite athletic event will include sailing in nine of the Americas most popular one-design classes. The Multihull discipline will be contested in Hobie 16s.
Specific information about qualifying will be available on the CYA and US Sailing Websites. Earlier this year the Hobie 16 NAs was selected by the Pan American Sailing Federation as one of two country qualifiers for the 2007 Pan Am Games. The first qualifier will be the Pre-Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro this July. At least three countries from each of these events will qualify for spots at the 2007 Games. Top teams from each country will be eligible for spots in the Pan Am Games provided that they also qualify their country by placing as one of the top countries at the North Americans or the Pre-Pan Am Games, which will be no small feat in this highly competitive class.
