The other five events where NOT a forgone conclusion. I know that’s the party line but its complete BS. The US long ago decided that they needed a plan to defend the keelboats and they needed a fall guy. They could have chosen the Finn or the 470 but they chose the Tornado. That was a conscious decision made long ago. This entire thing was orchestrated by your MNA (us sailing) from start to finish. The alteration of the ISAF submission was meant to shut us up. They never intended that it would actually affect their strategy. Go ahead and infiltrate but don’t think you are going to get some stogy old keel boaters like Jim Capron to change their minds and don’t expect that they will play fair.
