I'm still saying that with the number of people betting on light air...it's going to crank. That's how it works.



That was what happened with the 1988 games in Korea. The sailing event at Pusan was really windy even if everybody had said it would be no wind. Conditions in Qingdao are different though, but one never knows <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If there is a multihull in the 2016 games, I think it will be a one design based on an existing F18 model. Hobie Tiger, NACRA Infusion or similar. The H16 would be a tough sell, based on feelings not numbers or performance. The Tornado was dropped becouse of feelings, so I think that will be how it works out. If it works out.. The T is out for good with the way the selection process and the aftermath was handled.

I'll watch the Tornado footage anyway, as long as they are sailing. Dont expect to get much coverage so it will not be time consuming.
