Hi David -
That tack is being discussed a great deal - anyone is free to contact the Olympic Sailing Committee and voice their concerns. You can find the Committee listed at
http://ussailing.org/olympics/committee.asp - Dean Brenner is the Chair and it was his ExCom that made the submission. I have contacted Dean and so have other members of the Multihull Council ExCom. Some of us feel that an organized write-in campaign would be the next step if our motion to the BOD this week fails.
