I agree that having the brand names would be very interesting, even more when looking at ranking after the first 10th... Most of the "Big event" are won by the same great sailors. What interest me also, is how did "common" sailors performed and on what type of platform.

If you know someone that is performing not so well with a company and sudently he/she gets much better... if this is related to the new combination boat/mast/sails, then every one will get more objective perspective.

I like very much the idea, proposed it to many clubs (here in Eu) but it is still long to change habbits.

PS: Mary Hope you could get influence enough to change it...
