Well here's the thing, is the Olympics supposed to be for the atheletes or for the spectators? And when it comes to Sailing...well...few -non sailor- spectators understand the rules, strategy or tactics, and being out on the water, of course it's expensive to add TV coverage. So, if the OC isn't going to spend the money to put on good TV coverage, who cares -what- boats they are racing?

Don't get me wrong, I care, and I cannot understand how the OC can allow a Laser AND a Fin, a 470 AND a 49'er, and an old design like a Star, yet NO MULTIHULL??!! WTF?? But if they aren't going to televise it anyway...what do I care which boats they are sailing, I (and 99% of you) am not going to ever race in the Olympics anyway.

It would be nice to see "State of the Art" boats in the Olympics, but I guess we will have to watch the C Class and America's Cup for that.
