Sailing at the 2023 Pan American Games – Nacra 17
International sporting event
The Nacra 17 competition of the sailing events at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago was held from October 28 to Novembero 3 at the Cofradia Nautica del Pacifico.
Points were assigned based on the finishing position in each race (1 for first, 2 for second, etc.). The points were totaled from the top 11 results of the first 12 races, with lower totals being better. If a team was disqualified or did not complete the race, 6 points were assigned for that race (as there were 5 teams in this competition). The 5 teams competed in the final race, with placings counting double for final score. The team with the lowest total score won.
Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco from Argentina, who finished as runners-up in 2019, dominated the competition with 12 wins in 13 races, including the medal race. David Liebenberg and Sarah Newberry-Moore from the United States were the second, after defeating Samuel Albrecht and Gabriela Nicolino from Brazil in the medal race.[1]
