I'm down with electing representatives, more shorter races near the shore and mixing up the type of racing - also making the multi a gender neutral event.

When I sailed CORK I sat out a race near the leeward mark. I had a telephoto lens and had a ball photographing the fleet - a delight easily shared if the mark is 40 m from the shore - wow.

Which multi is a complex issue. Maybe having an A or B class open would spice things up. Maybe go really radical have only one measurement say 150 sq ft or 20' LOA and let the designers have some fun too. A single constraint would probably too radical for the ISF so an inexpensive production multi would probably be the best choice. I like switching boats for each Olympics. Making the selection process fair seems difficult. If the selection were made on numbers produced we might see Aquacats in the Olympics. Perhaps an ISF/Olympic A class that could be produced as an inexpensive one design by any manufacturer would be the way to go.
