The ISAF Executive was given the authority to make a decision on the event and equipment for the 11th medal immediately upon notification by IOC. ISAF has agreed to designate the event as being Open Multihull and the equipment as being the Tornado. The authority was granted in order to eliminate the need to wait until the ISAF meeting in Korea this November to make a decision and announcement. For those of us in the US, it should be noted that US SAILING was fully supportive of this approach.
