The problem is not with the Tornado...the problem is with the PC Mentality...it ignores one of the most basic principals of life..."WE ARE NOT ALL CREATED EQUAL"

If you are 5 feet tall the odds are will never be a successful NBA All Star. If you are 6'-6" and 280# it is highly unlikely you will ever be a successful Jockey. If you are blind don't be surprised if you plan a career as a golf pro and it doesn't work out.

What is being discussed here is the myth that everyone should have an equal chance of winning at a game when the very rules of the game (from its inception) have favored a certain body type. Add to that the fact that the tools used to win the game are locked to fixed parameters, and you will never have a competition that allows all players to compete on a level playing field. The whole concept of one design racing is a farce. All other things being equal, one body type/size is going to dominate every sport. If the equipment is changed to suit one group it will do so at the exclusion of others...it is a cat chasing its tail.

I am sure there are many men who are discouraged from competing on the Tornado feeling that they are too small/light or heavy to effectively campaign against the optimum sailor at the Olympic level...it's not a gender thing its a height/weight/strength issue...that’s life, get over it...

"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical
liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous media, which
holds that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
