I like the potential of thousands of amateurs trying to work their way through the trials process to the "big dance". An expensive, highly specialized boat like the Tornado insures that only a very few will even try.

I'd be thrilled if the F16 was chosen.


Well...that's not quite what I meant. If the Olympic multihull was a boat I was sailing, I wouldn't have any delusions or plans about qualifying for the Olympics but I wouldn't feel slighted in any way if I raced the likes of Johnny and Charlie on a weekend from time to time.
