I was sorta serious.

I was thinking about how to use our most popular class without damaging the class by picking one boat as the Olympic boat.

It doesn't have to be as complicated as I had. An alternative would be.

* Special mast and sail with the sail area proportional to crew weight

* Wings/hiking bar with the overall width of the boat inversely proportional to the crew weight.

There are a lot of things you could do to derive a unique 1 design from a stock boat that you could provide to the Olympics.
