I think there is a broad consensus that Olympic sailing is the pinnacle of dinghy/small boat sailing. Now you have to define the pinnacle of what... a pyramid, a column, or a handful of devoted athletes.?

Two multihull medals will flounder when the fact is that few woman raced multi's world wide at the international level.

So, the future of a Men's event is based entirely on generating enough demand from woman sailors for a Multihull medal.

Obviously, we don't have much of a pyramid of woman racing multihulls right now.. ... So... how you generate demand for an Olympic Mulithull and how many countries MNA's will step up and train woman is a critical issue. This could be a problem and worse... it is compounded when these same MNA's must step up and train woman for woman's skiff's at the same time.

The assumption is that when you offer the medals... they will come.

IMO.... men's multihull in 2020 is mostly aspirational..
