BTW, it seems to me that US Sailing have cast the integrity of the whole ISAF Olympic process into doubt. ISAF Regulation 16.1.5 states that the events selected -

(i) Must allow athletes around the world, male, female and of different size and weight, to participate;
(ii) Must achieve the current IOC objective of the minimum level of participation for women;
(iii) Must give the best sailors in each country the opportunity to participate in readily accessible equipment;
(iv) Must combine both traditional and modern events and classes, to reflect, display and promote competitive sailing.
(v) Must meet the IOC’s criteria for participation in the Olympic Programme.

The responsibility of the Council is to uphold their own regulations. The regional delegates are precisely the people who hold this responsibility. Yet by US Sailing's own admission they have applied a completely different set of criteria to the way they participated in this decision and in the process have completely subverted ISAFs own regulations - since the world's top catamaran sailors will now not have an opportunity to participate in the Games. I think the IOC would be pretty interested in that information.
