Well, I do NOT understand what the potential of winning medals has to do with what classes of boats are in the Olympics. The Olympics are not just about winning medals. Or ARE they? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I thought they were about bringing competitors together from around the world and making it possible for the most possible numbers of people to participate from the most possible number of nations.

As far as sailing, isn't the important thing to make sure that all the TYPES of sailboats are included? And catamarans offer the best opportunities for gender equality, too. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
