Given what transpired at the Olympics and the current feeling within both ISAF and the IOC the switch to one-design from one-design development class is something that should have been foreseen. With the Tornado in its current state, it is an extremely well developed platform as it is. I think the trade off is worth the price if it secures an 11th spot for 2012. This would allow the multihull community time to find a different and suitable platform for 2016 and to develop the infrastructure needed to support the Olympic parameters.
