While that may be entirely true, Dermot, the SL16 simply has got little to no chance in the US. I think that those who have the responsibility for making decisions about how to keep the very-slight gains in youth sailing in our country going must deal with the reality of availability. We have Hobie 16s available, and a class association committed to helping put the spinnaker kit aboard for kids who want to race them in specific events. It remains to be seen how the selection process for our Worlds teams will shake out - again, I think the reality will dictate to the Olympic Sailing Committee (who have the responsibility of deciding who will go to the Youth Worlds to sail whatever boat is provided) that they must choose teams that have some experience. The current arrangement of designating an event as a qualifier, where the prospect for a fleet showing up is incredibly unlikely, simply isn't sustainable.
