A paralell event would bring none of the pros, as the big dogs are all conscious about running afoul of ISAF and being banned from ISAF events. It is their income so it is understandable. It is a dead end.

With the lack of democracy within ISAF, where the council decides everything and are accountable to none, my hopes for 2016 is as good as non-existent. I think sailing will be slashed from the games in the near future even if all reports from the 2008 are favourable.
