ISAF would not allow us to call our Wave Worlds in Provo the Worlds, because only THEY could grant that name. In other words, they owned the name. HUH?!?!?!? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> We and the Turks and Caicos were threatened that if this event came off, the sailors would be penalized and so would the country. We lost some sailors that like to attend other World events, but we still had 30 sailors from about 10 countries racing. And we still called it the Worlds. In order for them to sanction a Worlds, you must have an International Class. Once done, you cannot make changes to your rules unless approved by them, and other such garbage.
Yet, when they want to approve a Worlds of their liking, they drop all the requirements of the class.
