I am on John's side on the issue of attacking any class. The reality is that lowers the person doing the attacking to the same rut in the road the others are slithering through. With that stated, one can make the arguement that the slate of events ended with six dinghy classes filling the ten possible slots for the games. It is here that you can attack. You are not singling out one class, but looking at the entire slate of events and stating that it is extremely unbalanced and that it does not justly represent the sailing world and community. Beyond this, what is needed is a unified position to speak from and the strength from numbers that you get with a unified body. So we need to decide how we want to state our arguement, what our focus should be and then plan our attack accordingly.
