Olympic is the top level. It is a showcase. We need two not none. 14 foot with no trap will provide good entry level. and provide a cat medal possiblity in the under 40K mark. A 16K boat would soon have a lot of followers if an Olympic gold was possible.
Dinner party..."I am the Olympic Tornado gold medalist."
"I am the F18 World champ."
I know what I'd rather say.
When you consider how many smaller Olympic class mono's there are, it makes sence to have a boat that younger, less cashed up ppl could campaign for a medal. A 14ft uni rigged one person cat with a spi is IMHO the logical choice.
But then of course I'd say that.
