I still think the H16 would be a decent choice for the Olympics, shoot me in the head if you want. They are competitively sailed by more countries than ANY other boat, we don't even have an F20C in Australia!!! This is the Olympics, not a tech race, More countries could send more competitors with H16 experience and have a genuine shot of coming back with a medal, They do require skill to keep them upright in a decent blow, and you can sail them in a decent blow. What is so wrong about that? Who cares if they aren't the fastest boat around.... they use lasers in the olympics, and they get heaps of competitors, don't they???? Don't get me wrong, I love the T, and the F20C, but for a truely international representation of cat sailors with good racing skills (mixed, open...... whatever) I think the H16 hits the target. We have all sailed a H16 at some point in our lives after all....... (Chocko hides under desk)
