team race day one...

a quick update...USA has moved to the round of 16 with two wins in the opening round.. With a bye in Flight A on the basis of their 5th seeding, the boys beat 29th seed CAN (which had beaten 20th seed GBR) with a 1-2-4-5 in Flight B, then beat IND 1-2-3-6 in Flight C, to move along. IND had beaten better-seeded URU and NED, so there was some anticipation for USA-IND, but the the boys controlled the start and were mostly able to fleet sail around the course.  At this writing, first seed THA has also advanced, with wins against CRO and PER. PER can still make the next round with a win against URU. another update when today's results are complete...
