ISAF announced at the last meeting that they were setting up the Commission, but didn't get into details of it's purpose. The scuttlebutt is that ISAF suspects ( <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ) multihulls are underrepresented and this may be a first step toward bringing back the ISAF Multihull Committee. Capron asked me if I could sit on it and represent the US multihull community. I brought up other candidates for the job that I thought would do well, but Jim expressed a desire to have a rep that was in a position to get feedback from all classes of multihulls. US SAILING's position on multihulls in the Olympics is unchanged - the OSC says they still want to see a men's and a women's multihull event, and they want to end the Council practice of voting on individual events and vote on full slates instead.

Finally. Water has a way of finding its own level. Many thanks to the IOC for standing resolutely around their prior 'full slate' position. This position strongly discourages the MNA equipment politicking embodied by the Estoril decision, and the manipulation equipment agendas. Bravo!

ps: MH'ers, and Mfrs. We have 4yrs to GET OURSELVES ORGANIZED!
