this is a pretty wild thing how these decisions are reached. Don't get me wrong - I'm elated that the multihull is back on the table but a forced mixed (male/female) is not representative of our sport...I guess you could look at it as a chicken/egg scenario that if the Olympics are mixed, it will create more mixed teams?
Keeping two single handed dingies and killing both keel boats doesn't make sense either. There should be some easy logic to all of this to define the classes and then pick the configurations that match the sport as it exists.
Do the Olympics dictate that events be male/female/mixed with no opportunity for "open"?
