ISAF in general is against FORMULA based classes. It doesn't understand them and I religiously believes that strict One-Design, or rather Single-Manufacturer-One-Design, is the best form of sailboat racing.

Therefor any A-class, B-class or Formula 18 class are out of the question. They already had trouble accepting the "OD status but not SMOD" status of the Tornado where everybody could use different masts and sails.

Additionally a dinghy is most definately regarded as a Monohull by the whigs mostly because they don't consider Multihulls as real boats to begin with.

I wonder, is the ORMA 60 class a ISAF recognised class ?

But they certainly make no hassle about that, I guess because the French ORMA organisation is to powerful to pick a fight with. We need something like that for small catamaran racing.
