The challenge is Ts were dropped due to their cost and not "technology". Stars are much more expensive and thus exclusive.. So based on this all keelboats should be dropped from the Olympics..
As for the "legends" aruments.. I guess we could ask Mohammen Ali to fight Jo Frazier for an Olympic gold medal.. They are "legends"..
In public that is what they say. I think that some of the developmental issues that played a part in the last Olympics did not bode well for the Tornado. Sail development has been a part of the last 2-3 Olympics, from materials to design. That is why the class is promoting SMOD for the class.
