Sailing Info

So just a little info... there are 16 sailors here competing in 10 classes: Women's Match Racing (3 females), Finn (1 male), Laser (1 male), Laser Radial (1 female), 49er (2 males), Star (2 males), 470s for both men and women (2 athletes),  and Rs:X (windsurfing for both men and women). Each boat has it's own coach so 10 coaches not to mention support staff to include 3 PT guys, chef, media, team leader, sports psych (USOC employee), boatwright, meteorologist, friends & family coordinator as well as some additional media & sponsor support personnel. What a great group. They have been so fun and open and helpful. They work hard and have a little fun too which is always nice.
A good article about one of the coaches, Luther. When I first met Luther I though he was a curmudgeon. He's currently trying to teach me the lyrics to a rap song. Luther Article
