The Portsmouth numbers are pretty much garbage and we have all seen that. We could use what the rest of the world uses, or the Texel numbers, anything else would be a step up from the handicap numbers we have here.

I still find it hard to believe that after we sent about 700 emails to US Sailing, back when we were fist made aware they were not going to support a Multihull in the Olympics, that they would go right ahead and vote against it, with all our input to the contrary. Yet they voted for TWO Men's one-up Dinghys!

They say it's all about Medal production, well, how many medals have the US Sailors gathered in those two events in the past 30 years?? I can think of lots of other classes where the US has not had a medal in quite a while, but the Tornado Sailors have been producing for medals for years. What a slap in the face to them.
