Pretty simple really, ISAF books their regattas many years in advance. Equipment is chosen as in the case of Brazil because the Hobie is made in that country and Sl16's are not yet manufactured there. The following year the equipment chosen will SL16's in Turkey. Let's not forget it was just a couple of years ago Multihulls weren't even invited to the ISAF Youth World Regatta. Great strides have been made and to start a new class just for kids isn't something done overnight. The USA is just starting to participate with the rest of the world in youth Multihull sailing and we need to get our house in order first. This translates to getting kids sailing in Multihulls, all kinds of Multihulls and becoming the sailors we know they can be. That in a nutshell is our job.
