It's a side issue in many ways, but the claim that multihulls represent "25% of racing worldwide" seems utterly wrong. As far as I can figure from National titles attendance in three of the major sailing nations (including strong cat countries) cats make up about 5-10% of boats attending Nationals.

Add in all the big boats that race competitively (PHRF, IRC, Key West, Bermuda, Fastnet, Spi Ouest) and multi sailiing starts to look pretty small. That doesn't mean the T should get dumped from the Games, but it does seem that it can't claim that it HAS to be there if the Games are to be representative of the sport.

Just let me say again, the T should be in the Games, but to support the T's claim by saying there's more cat sailors than there seems to be, may not work that well.
