I think I get it now... Part of the problem may be the mixed messages coming from IOC.

They say they want events that represent how the sport is played around the world. But, they want to force gender equity.

Personally, I have no clue what you guys are all in a tizzy about. At all the cat regattas I attend, there are tons of women racing. Of course, that's one of the best parts of Hobie sailing.

At the monohull events that I attend (serving as RC), they are TOTAL sausage-fests, and I'm not talking windward-leeward courses here. Outside of Youth events, you're lucky to see a handful of women all weekend.
