Really for the olympics, there should be two events:

- team sailing
- solo sailing (eventually men/women)

The point system should be eliminated, as it is hard to understand for the uninitiated, and replaced with some kind of elimination scheme so the boat finishing the last race in first place get the medal.

Add on-the-water umpires for immediate decisions (no more protests after the end of the race).

For equipement provide the boats and sell them after the event.

For team sailing use Extreme 40 on silly short constrained courses as they do for the iShare cup. It would be fun, entertaining, challenging and it's a SMOD class already. Throw in mandatory mixed sex crew for diversity, minimum two of each sex, One trimmer per sail, one skipper and one tactician not allowed to touch any controls on the boat.

For solo sailing, get some flying moths (or whatever is the current solo craze) on the same course with the same rules.

That would be good for the sport. That would be exciting. Highly visible. Marketable. But that will never happen because of politics.
