April 13, 2005 - US Sailing, announced the members of the 2005 US Sailing Team. The Team annually recognizes the top-five ranked sailors in each of the boat-classes selected for the next Olympic competition.

Due to unavailability of the newly selected Neil Pryde RS:X, no Team-members have been determined for this class (Men and Women). More information on the RS:X will be made available this spring.

Rankings on the US Sailing Team are based on attendance and performance at qualifying events. Athletes who have qualified for the US Sailing Team are identified as strong contenders for an Olympic berth and, as members of the Team, they will be assisted with coaching, training, and other benefits. - www.ussailing.org
