I wonder how many H16s an Olympic contender might go thru in an Olympic bid. 2,3,4 and of course a new one for the trials and the games. Not very cost effective but great for the second hand market.

What ever they select will have to stand up to a great deal more sailing then any of the current boats(with the exception of the Tornado) currently cycle thru.

I think this will be the biggest test for the selected boat.
