FINAL UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (13 January 24) – After eight days of competition, US Sailing declared winners in five of the Olympic sailing disciplines at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. Having already secured country qualification in 2023, Women’s iQFOiL athlete Dominique Stater and 49er team Ian Barrows and Hans Henken are fully confirmed to represent Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.  

Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss in the Mixed 470, Noah Lyons in the Men’s iQFOiL, and Markus Edegran in the Men’s Formula Kite completed the first of their two-part process to get to Marseille and will now work to qualify the USA for spots in their respective classes. 

Competitors were tested with a wide range of conditions on two course areas – one on the Atlantic Ocean off South Beach and the other in Biscayne Bay. At the beginning of the week, a front tested the athletes’ skills in big wind and waves. As the clouds cleared on Thursday, breeze moderated to classic Miami conditions. 

The top three 49er teams battled for the lead all week, with everything coming down to the last few races on Saturday. Ian Barrows (St. Thomas, USVI) and Hans Henken (Coronado, Calif.) took the win over Andrew Mollerus (Larchmont, NY) and Ian MacDiarmid (Delray Beach, Fla.) by three points. Nevin Snow (San Diego, Calif.) and Mac Agnese (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) came in third with an impressive final day, winning two of the last three races. 

“It could have been anyone’s regatta any day, so we’re really honored to have won in the end,” said Ian Barrows. “We can all take credit as a group for what will hopefully be a good Olympic result in the 49er for the US.” 

“It’s a huge relief to be able to say that we’re going to go represent the United States at the Olympic Games,” said Henken. “We’ve been working towards this for a very long time and to be able to accomplish this is huge for us.” 

In the Women’s iQFOiL, overall winner Dominique Stater (Miami, FL) built momentum over the course of the regatta, eventually pulling ahead to secure her win on points before the final two races. Ultimately, she won 14 of the 27 races sailed in the Women’s iQFOiL fleet.  

“It was an awesome and exciting but also long and stressful week,” said Stater. “I had some great battles with the fleet and I’m very relieved that it’s over and that the path is cleared to Paris.” 

“It was awesome to do the Trials at Miami Yacht Club because I used to come sail with the boys here on Techno 293s all those years ago,” Stater said, reminiscing about her home club and home waters. “I’d go out to Miramar across the bridge with the Nores brothers (runner up in the Men’s iQFOiL) and the Cramers, and I’ve known Florencia, Miami Yacht Club’s Youth Sailing Manager, all through childhood, so it was great to have her here.” 

Though Stu McNay (Providence, RI) and Lara Dallman-Weiss (Shoreview, Minn.) led the 470 event throughout the regatta, they didn’t clinch the win and their athlete selection until the final day. The team was on high alert, with the competition hot on their heels all eight days. Louisa Nordstrom (Sarasota, Fla.) and Trevor Bornarth (Port Salerno, Fla.) finished close behind in second by only one point, followed by Carmen Cowles (Larchmont, NY) and Dave Hughes (Miami, Fla.) in third.  

If they qualify the country, this will be a return trip to the Olympics for both McNay and Dallman-Weiss. McNay is a four-time Olympian (Beijing, London, Rio, and Tokyo), while Dallman-Weiss made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games. McNay and Dallman-Weiss will look to fully secure their ticket to Paris by qualifying the USA at the 470 World Championship in Palma de Mallorca this February 24 – March 3. 

First and second place Men’s iQFOiL riders Noah Lyons (Clearwater, Fla.) and Geronimo Nores (Miami, Fla.) traded the lead up until the last day of racing. It all came down to the final race where Lyons was able to pull ahead, clinching first place overall by one point. Nores took second, while Alex Temko (Clearwater, Fla.) came third. With his win, Lyons will receive US Sailing’s nomination for Team USA and will now work to qualify the USA at the Last Chance Regatta in Hyères, France, April 20-27, as the second of his two-part path to Paris. 

Markus Edegran (Stuart, Fla.) lead the Men’s Formula Kite class, finishing first with 35 points, having held the lead for the majority of the event. Kai Calder (Delray Beach, Fla.) ended in second place with 45 points, trailed closely by Noah Runciman (Houston, TX) in third place with 48 points. Edegran achieves individual athlete selection and will have one more chance to qualify the country at the Last Chance Regatta in Hyères, France, April 20-27.

DAY 7 OF 8 UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (12 January 24) – Miami is testing a range of skills this week, with lighter winds showing up for the penultimate day of racing at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials–Sailing. The sun came out, humidity ramped up, and the wind dipped to 5-10 knots. 

Receiving nominations to Team USA on January 13 and going to Paris 2024: 49er representatives & Women’s iQFOiL representative 

49er – Having already qualified the USA for Paris 2024 this past August at the Sailing World Championships, the team with the lowest score after the final race of Trials will earn US Sailing’s nomination to Team USA. The top three boats are all in play, with Ian Barrows and Hans Henken leading with 25 points, Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid with 27 points, and Nevin Snow and Mac Agnese with 32 points. The 49ers will sail three more races tomorrow as they fight to secure their nomination to Team USA. 

Women’s iQFOiL – Dominique Stater qualified the USA for Paris 2024 in the Women’s iQFOiL in November with her silver medal at the Pan American Games and is now in contention for the Team USA spot herself. Stater is currently at 26 points, followed by Bryn Muller in second with 35 points, and Anna Weis in third with 55 points. The fleet of five Women’s iQFOiL athletes will sail five races tomorrow to round out their regatta and decide the Team USA nomination. 

Selecting athletes on January 13 but still pending country qualification for Paris 2024: 

470 – The regatta’s tightest competition lies in the Mixed 470 fleet with the top three teams all separated by one point. Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss, with 17 points, have led the standings all week and will enter the final day of Trials one point ahead of Louisa Nordstrom and Trevor Bornarth at 18 points and two points in front of Carmen Cowles and David Hughes at 19 points. The 470s will sail two more races tomorrow to round off their regatta. While this class has not yet qualified the country for the Paris 2024 Games, US athletes will have the opportunity to do so by finishing as the top North American boat at the 470 World Championship in Palma de Mallorca, February 24 – March 3.  

Men’s iQFOiL – There was yet another lead change in the Men’s iQFOiL fleet today, with Noah Lyons breaking yesterday’s tie with Geronimo Nores and pulling into the lead by four points. Lyons excelled in today’s Slalom courses – selected by Race Committee because of the light wind – winning three of the four races sailed. After athlete selection is complete following the final four races tomorrow, the USA will still need to qualify as a country at the Last Chance Regatta, April 20-27. 

Men’s Formula Kite – Markus Edegran remains on top of the Men’s Formula Kite class with 32 points, having held the lead for the majority of the event. Kai Calder is in second place with 40 points, trailed closely by Noah Runciman, in third place with 42 points. However, with four races left for the Kites tomorrow, there’s still time for the scoreboard to shuffle. For the men’s kiters, the next and final opportunity to qualify the USA for Paris 2024 is the Last Chance Regatta, April 20-27. 

Final day of Trials (January 13) Schedule: 

      • 1000 | Women’s iQFOiL – 5 Races, Men’s iQFOiL – 4 Races 
      • 1000 | 470 – 2 Races

DAY 6 OF 8 UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (11 January 24) – The full slate of five classes hit the waters off of Miami’s South Beach for day six of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. It was another gray day, with very little sun but a decent amount of wind, with both race areas reading 12-15 knots and a mild sea state throughout the afternoon. 

Ian Barrows and Hans Henken broke their tie today with Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid in the 49er fleet and pulled ahead by one point. Third place Nevin Snow and Mac Agnese continued to close their gap and are now only three points out from second place. 

Dominique Stater and Bryn Muller traded first and second place finishes throughout the day, with Stater remaining on top of the women’s iQFOiL fleet by three points. 

The 49er and Women’s iQFOiL are the two classes at these Olympic Trials that have already achieved country qualification for the US and secured the first of the two-part process for athletes to get to Paris 2024*– so the winner of each respective fleet will punch their ticket to Paris on Saturday. 

In the Men’s iQFOiL fleet, Geronimo Nores and Noah Lyons moved from a point of separation to yet another tie for the second time this week. Nores is currently winning the tiebreaker and sits in first overall heading into the final two days of Trials. 

Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss are still in the lead of the 470 fleet, separated by four points from the second and third place tie of Carmen Cowles and David Hughes in second and Louisa Nordstrom and Trevor Bornarth in third. McNay and Dallman-Weiss have kept their lead the entire regatta but remain on high alert with competition hot on their heels. 

Markus Edegran at 24 points is leading in the Men’s Kite fleet for the third day in a row with former leaders Kai Calder and Noah Runciman behind with 27 points and 35 points, respectively.

DAY 5 OF 8 UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (10 January 24) – It was an early start and early end for day five of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. 49ers and Men’s Kites gathered at Miami Yacht Club for a 0730 competitors briefing in preparation for a 0930 start to take advantage of the best breeze of the day. 

The Men’s Kiters selected one of the larger of the four kites they registered for Trials in anticipation of a dying northeast breeze and were greeted with 15 knots for the first race of the day. The breeze died off as forecasted and three races were logged on the scoresheets with the top three remaining the same but moving closer together in points. Markus Edegran stayed in first overall, but second place Kai Calder is closing the gap, now only two points behind Edegran. Noah Runciman sits in third, eight points behind Calder but four closer than he was before. 

The 49ers were able to eek out one light air race off of South Beach before wrapping for the day. The brother team of Chris and Duncan Williford scored their first race win of the regatta after a light and shifty race with a close finish. Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid are tied once again for the lead with Ian Barrows and Hans Henken who are winning the tiebreaker, and Nevin Snow and Mac Agnese are still in the fight in third, inching closer to second. 

470s and iQFOiLs stayed ashore for their scheduled reserve day, and all fleets will be back on tomorrow through Saturday, January 13th for the remainder of Trials. 

Top three in each class after day three: 

      • 49er – Ian Barrows & Hans Henken (17), Andrew Mollerus & Ian MacDiarmid (17), Nevin Snow & Mac Agnese (24)

DAY 4 0F 8 UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (9 January 2024) – Winds built to the 30s overnight and presented Race Committee with a challenge for the halfway point at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. Race officials chose to sail the Mixed 470s and iQFOiL fleets in Biscayne Bay for more protection and kept the 49ers and Men’s iQFOiLs ashore for an early reserve day. 470s and iQFOiLs will take their reserve day as scheduled tomorrow and 49ers and Kites will sail day five. 

With two dropped scores now in play, Noah Lyons pulled ahead of Geronimo Nores by one point to solidify his lead in the Men’s iQFOiL fleet after today’s three races. The two were tied on day three with Lyons winning the tiebreaker. The fleet will take a rest day tomorrow to come back swinging on Thursday. 

In the Women’s iQFOiL Bryn Muller is making up ground, closing the gap between her and current leader Dominique Stater. Muller had a wipeout while making her way downwind in the second race of the day, was passed by Stater and Anna Weis, and still came back to win the race. 

The battle for the top remains tight in the 470 class. Regatta leaders Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss held onto their lead by two points. Carmen Cowles and David Hughes are in hot pursuit, closing their gap to first by two points up from four yesterday. Louisa Nordstrom and Trevor Bornarth are one point behind Cowles / Hughes and remain tightly in the mix as the week continues. 

Race officials are planning for a bright and early 0730 competitors briefing on day five with a 0930 warning signal for Men’s Kites and 49ers. Follow along with U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing via the outlets below.

DAY 3 OF 8 UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (8 January 2024) – Day three of U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing saw dramatic maneuvers on the 49er course, the third lead change in three days in the Men’s Kite, and more tight racing in the Mixed 470. Both race courses saw 15-17 knots with a vibrant sea state similar to day one. 

Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss extended their lead on the 470 fleet, winning both races of the day and putting four points between them and Carmen Cowles and Dave Hughes in 2nd place. Louisa Nordstrom and Trevor Bornarth remain in the fight just one point behind Cowles and Hughes, rounding out a highly competitive top three.

The top two 49er teams remain locked in a close battle for Team USA selection. Positions shuffled from day two, with Ian Barrows and Hans Henken now in the lead by one point over yesterday’s leaders Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid. Nevin Snow and Mac Agnese tumbled into a pitchpole on a downwind leg and thus tacked on a few points but remain in third and hungry to close their gap. 

In the Men’s Formula Kite fleet, Markus Edegran continued his consistent upward trend and took over the first place standing. This is the third lead change in three days for the kites, keeping fans on their toes as we move towards the halfway mark.

Noah Lyons closed his gap to Geronimo Nores and moved from 2nd to 1st, now leading Trials in the Men’s iQFOiL fleet on a tiebreaker. In the Women’s iQFOiL fleet, Dominique Stater kept her momentum with 10 of 11 first or second place finishes in every race of Trials so far.

DAY 2 OF 8 UPDATE

MIAMI, FLORIDA (7 January 2024) – With more races now on the board, points are tightening and tensions heating up on day two of eight of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing. The 470 and 49er course saw winds of 17-22 with shallower, choppier waves than opening day, and the Kite / iQFOiL course kicked off their day with 15 knots that died to 11-12, with light rain showers.

Three 49er teams have punched ahead of the pack and sit within two points of one another with Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid in the lead position for the second day in a row. In the 470, Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss almost lost their lead, but gained it back by a point following the results of a hearing. The top three Mixed 470s are also within two points of one another, joining the 49ers as the fighting fleets to watch.

The Men’s Formula Kite fleet shuffled considerably with Markus Edegran climbing three places to 2nd overall and Kai Calder taking over the lead. Bryn Muller and Anna Weis are tied for second in the Women’s iQFOiL with 19 points, behind leader Dominique Stater with 13 points.

MIAMI, FLORIDA (6 January 2024) – Day one of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing greeted competitors with 11-13 knots of breeze gusting to 15 with 3-5 foot swell for the 470s and 49ers, and slightly calmer conditions for the iQFOiLs and Men’s Kites. Stu McNay (Providence, RI) and Lara Dallman-Weiss (Shoreview, MN) took the first race win of Trials in the Mixed 470, kicking off what will be a riveting week of racing across five classes in Miami as 61 athletes leave it all out on the field for the chance to represent Team USA at Paris 2024.

EVENT PREVIEW

MIAMI, FLORIDA (4 January 2024) – The most important qualifying regatta in the lead-up to the Olympic Games Paris 2024 will take place January 6-13 out of Miami Yacht Club as 61 American athletes will race on the Atlantic Ocean.  

“It’s great to see over 60 athletes with the desire, drive, and talent to represent Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympics,” said Alan Ostfield, CEO of US Sailing. “As the National Governing Body of sailing, our role is to nominate the strongest athletes for the Games, and we’re looking forward to seeing the top sailors in the country go head-to-head this week in five disciplines and then on to leading the US Olympic Team into Paris.” 

On January 13, following the competition and confirmation of the winners of the first set of 2024 US Olympic Team Trials – Sailing, US Sailing will announce its nominations for Team USA in five of the ten Olympic sailing classes. 

“We are truly honored to be hosting America’s top sailing athletes as they compete for the opportunity to represent Team USA at Paris 2024,” said Mark Ingraham, Commodore of Miami Yacht Club. “Founded on a history of nearly 100 years of competitive sailing and located within the glimmer of downtown Miami, the Miami Yacht Club is proud to carry on this tradition as it hosts this patriotic event.” 

January U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing by the numbers: 

      • 61 Athletes total 
      • 43 Boats / Boards total 
      • 11 Men’s Formula Kites 
      • 8 49ers 
      • 10 Mixed 470s 
      • 9 Men’s iQFOiLs 
      • 5 Women’s iQFOiLs 
      • 6 Olympians competing 

How do these Trials play into athletes punching their tickets to the Paris 2024 Games and the sailing competition held in Marseille this summer? 

Representing Team USA in Sailing at an Olympic Games consists of two parts: a “country qualification” in each of the 10 disciplines or “classes,” and “athlete selection” to decide who fills the earned spot in each class. 

To qualify the country in each class, any American athlete must place high enough at qualifying regattas in the year leading up to the Olympic Games to “qualify their country” for a spot in their class at the Games.  

As of December 31, 2023, the USA has qualified in 6 of the 10 classes: 49erFX, 49er, ILCA 6, Women’s iQFOiL, Nacra 17, and Women’s Formula Kite. The USA will work to earn the final four qualifications in early 2024 in the Mixed 470, Men’s Formula Kite, Men’s iQFOiL, and ILCA 7 classes. You can find more information regarding the country qualification system here. 

The Trials events happening in January and February in Miami serve as the “athlete selection” for those classes. The athletes that win these regattas in the classes that have already earned country qualification will immediately earn their ticket to represent Team USA in Marseille this summer. Athletes in classes that do not yet have country qualification will reserve their selection but will still need to work together to qualify the country to complete the second of their two-part process. 

Which classes fall into which category at the January Trials? 

      • Winners of these classes will earn their spot at Paris 2024: 49er, Women’s iQFOiL 
      • Winners of these classes still require a USA country qualification to confirm participation at the Paris Games:  Mixed 470, Men’s Formula Kite, Men’s iQFOiL
