There are good precedents (at Olympic level) for sporting bodies dis-associating themselves from a “governing” body, which has been seen to be dis-advantaging the “break away” group.
IF a governing/controlling body was formed for and from multihull sailors, for the benefit of multihull sailing, and being a completely separate body from the ISAF, then that new body could negotiate directly with the IOC for inclusion into the Olympic games (and probably with more than the one only class of multihull as of now, as well). If this new organization were accepted as the one and only “legitimate” multihull governing body, representing all multihulls, then it would qualify for financial assistance from the IOC in the same way that the ISAF does now.
Multihulls, regardless of what many would say, ARE in an entirely different context from mono hulls, and as such, the only way for them to receive the suitable attention that they deserve is to be seen as, and be in actuality, SEPARATE (in their organization and control) from the ISAF and the monohull fraternity. That is not to say that we are not still “all sailors” what ever we sail, BUT the control and administration of each has to be separated to ensure the best for all.
As long as governance of multihulls falls under the predominantly mono hull mentality administration, we will always be “the poor relations” and treated accordingly. It will always be difficult to gain the recognition we deserve, as the only way we receive anything now is to go “cap in hand” and virtually “beg for our supper”. We have the right to stand on our own feet, face to face with all other sports as equals, and not as second-class citizens as we are considered to be, and treated as such, within the sailing fraternity in particular, and the overall sporting world in general.
