Difficult one re the ollies.....


Would the other manufacturers "let" the Tiger be the olympic class? Maybe not.

Would the other F18 classes be happy with the Tiger? Nope

Would making the Tiger the Olympic class be good for the F18, probably not.

Would the "fat men in Mono's" be happy with a development class like the F18, Nope

Were the "fat men in Mono's" happy with the Tornado as it is a development class(I know the T assoc say it's one design, but it's not, more than one manufacturer, nothing to stop others entering the market and as we have seen, sails are open within certain paramaters) - Nope

However, all the manufacturers can make massive trouble if one class of F18 is chosen, so if the Multihull gets back in, I'd bet it would be the T, or some other "designed for the ollies class".
