Let's think about how to overturn this decision. When the Star's got voted out a few years ago they lobbied hard. They got an extra event(number 11) added on just for them. Let's think about how we could do the same thing. How we can lobby to tack on the extra event like the Star's did. Possibly how we could go back and change the decision.

What I don't understand is why the US didn't swing one vote from each delegate away from the (forgone conclusion) single handed mono classes. If it's all about winning the classes important to them they could have done this and insured a win. Fact is the powers that be don't want multihulls in the Olympics. I guarentee if they had ten more mono classes to vote on they would vote them all ahead of a multi.

The only chance we have is to lobby to get an extra event added on is my guess. We have to fix this now or suffer the consequences of a loss of membership in US Sailing from the multihull community.
