The discussion between builders seems to indicate that there isn't enough of a market for a youth-only boat. Something that the Multihull Commission is working on is trying to establish a boat that can be a youth and a women's boat - looking ahead to the 2016 Games, we'll need to come up with a recommendation by 2011. If we have a boat that can be a youth and a women's boat, manufacturers will be in a much better position to support events.

Also, most feel that the jump from an SL16 or a H16 w/spin to the current Olympic multihull is too great. Other classes (29er-49er, Radial-Laser, 420-470) do a better job of managing this. I think we need to close that gap from both sides.
