US Sailing has announced the selection process for the Cadiz Worlds 2003:
1. Any berths that are awarded by ISAF or the International Class
Association to specifically named sailors, such as former World Champions
in the Star Class, are awarded to the respective named sailors.
2. The first four berths that are granted to US Sailing are awarded to the
top four ranked boats of the 2003 US Sailing Team (USST). If any of the top
four ranked boats of the 2003 USST are either named in the paragraph above
or subsequently decline entry to the 2003 World Championship, then those
berths do not trickle down to the next ranked boat on the USST, but are
awarded by the next paragraph.
3. Any berths that are not awarded in the paragraphs above, will be awarded
at the discretion of the Olympic Sailing Committee (OSC) of US Sailing with
input from the OSC staff coaches and OSC class representatives based on
past performance in the following categories; (These categories are not
necessarily listed in any priority order)
- World Championships 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999

4. The awarding of berths is subject to ISAF confirming the number of
