The following is just the opinion of U.S. Head Olympic Sailing Coach Gary Bodie, and does not necessarily reflect that of the Olympic Sailing Committee or US Sailing:
"The ideal multihull replacement (IMHO) would be an out of the box, one builder, modern one design, sails supplied by one manufacturer. (like the 49er). I don't think it's particularly important if the replacement class is currently active in the USA. In fact, I doubt it is an active class anywhere yet. If multihull is in for 2012, I suspect that Tornado is in to fill the spot for 2012 at least. But it would probably enhance our medal prospects if ISAF adopted new equipment."
So, based upon that opinion, what would be a good boat to replace the Tornado?
Remember that the boat has to be an International Class in order to be accepted by ISAF as equipment for the Olympics.
