AHPC is full forward on their goal to have the Viper selected as the Olympic Mixed Multihull, "Check Rio 2016" on Carolijn-Brett main.
They will have some tough competition with Nacra, Phantom and others, their obvious advantage is their boats sold and already racing fleets in Europe,USA and Australia.In any case its going to be an interesting trial event.

I guess obviously the Nacra F16, the Infusion F18 OD and something to match the Phantom project.

Santi was confirmed by Cayard on an interview with Valencia Sailing.
Lets see if Hutchinson will stand the pressure as Spithill did with Bundy, at least on Darren's first event.

James Spithill for me was the sailor excelling this time. Finishing 5th in this fleet, may equal any wc considering his A-Class or multi experience. Hat off to him.
Darren will have a hard time pushing him on the AC45s,  but as he showed  on his first race, if all is trimmed just watch out, as he might take the competition down and we may have him defending the Cup.
