John,
Is there any traction to fact that there are two men's single-hand dinghies (Laser and Finn), with the only justification for the Finn being "heavy"? Personally I can see keeping a men's keel boat, I'd rather see the Finn go to save the multihull.

Interestingly, in the recent issue of Sail, the issue is cast as multihull versus the women's keel boat and other women's classes, which is not what I have heard on any of this discussion at all. To bad it was not pointed out at that point that the T was the only class that allowed mixed crews...
