It will give the Tiger an unfair advantage also in the class from a sales point off view. Why would you by an Infusion, Capricorn or a Wildcat when you can buy the Olympic class. Better resale due to a large market. Your boat is also sailed by, developed by and tuned by the best.
I am an AHPC and a Nacra fan, but even I would buy a Tiger over the others if it became the Olympic class.
TA, I think you are missing the point of the Hobie prop to the ISAF/IOC. They want to promote the one design Tiger. If they want to do that, they will have to FREEZE development at some point. They are proposing a laser with 2 hulls. Any developments are very small and take an age to get adopted. a "proper SMOD" as per laser. Not a "development Hobie tiger" in the same type as the Tornado, but 2 feet shorter and thinner.
