Don't twist the point guys,

The point is whether the number of dinghy wins/championship wins is a good indication of whether somebody should be prefered over another sailor with no such wins for participating in the Alter Cup.

Clearly a sailor with NO dinghy champions under his belt (Randy Smyth) wins 2nd place in a Olympic cat event where a (13 + 4) dinghy championship title holder finishes 4th.

Now you tell me the indicative value of holding dinghy championships especially if they are from a different time era ?

Or in simple terms; should Randy or Paul be invited to the Alter Cup of 1984 (if Paul were American) ?
