At the ISAF meeting currently in progress in Madrid, the following classes have been confirmed for the 2012 Olympics.
The decision on the Women's Double Hander is of interest to the multihull Community (see next post).
Confirmed Classes: Boards Men/Women - RSX Single handed men - Laser Single handed men (Heavy) - Finn Double handed men - 470 Double handed men (high performance) - 49er Keelboat men - Star Single handed women - Laser Radial Double handed women - 470 Match Racing women - Elliot 6 (modified)

There will indeed be new faces on the Council, and new faces on the Executive.

Is this niche of the sport REMOTELY accessible to sailors world wide?
IMO, this was an unholy alliance between an ISAF official who is a promoter and the Old girl network of ISAF who dream that they will get some proffesional work after this Olympic exposure.
I cannot come up with a single reason why it is postive for sailboat racing anywehre in the world.

Posts: 613 New Hampshire, USA | I am not sure how match racing got the support that it did during last november's meetings. My fear right now though is that the push for an eleventh event will become a fight for what thast event becomes. Could it be that instead of reinstating the multihull, it is instead used to allow both the 29erXX, match racing and women's 470. If this is the case, then the focus should be on the 5 disciplines approach for 2012 instead of 2016. I know that this will not happen. If an eleventh event is added and it is used for something other than a multihull event I believe that the worldwide outrage will far exceed that of the November vote. I pray for clear minds and cool heads on this matter.

Posts: 3,528 Looking for a Job, I got credi... | Usually I try to stay away from the political side of the sport,but if the 11th medal goes to the 29erXX,maybe its time to to sever our ties to the ISAF.The ISAF has certainly not looked after our interests over the last years. THis is, IMO, the reason the 470 got the nod; 470 stays, but the Multihull gets the 11th slot. IF the 29erxx had got in, the 470 would ahve gone after the 11th slot. Political bollox, yes; good for the sport, NO

Posts: 586 Hobart, Tasmania, Oz. | http://www.sail-world.com/Australia...;ntid=10&tickeruid=0&tickerCID=0this came into today's mail. looks like a good thing from where I am sitting. A major overhaul for ISAF's approach to Olympic sailing looks set to come into fruition after the Council accepted the need for an overall strategy towards the Olympic Sailing Competition. This decision is by far the most important to come from the 2008 Madrid Conference and as far as Olympic sailing probably one of the the most significant of the last decade.
Events Committee chairman Bjorn Unger (SWE) introduced Yachting Australia's Submission 082-08, proposing an overhaul of ISAF’s future Olympic strategy. 'This is perhaps the most important issue we have. We heard in our discussions yesterday that strategy was mentioned many, many times,' he said.
