I may be wrong but one example of separation of codes that has proven to be in the “best interests of all” as well as successful (particularly at Olympic level) that spring to mind is rowing and kayaking/canoeing? Very similar to mono hull sailing and catamaran sailing? Both are obviously “sailing” But both are uniquely different from each other.
I am not convinced that the IOC would be exactly pleased with a split.
If the IOC accepted it, they would also be accepting an increase in cost, effort, infrastructure and number of venues associated to the original sport. How could that be possible when they already stated that their goal is the opposite with regards to sailing (and its branches)?
I don't think the IOC is eager to include new sport branches in the games. Almost any sport can split its branches, but they will be included in the games only if the IOC is convinced that it will yield profits. If this is not our case, we'd better stay with ISAF than alone.
Lastly, I noticed the mention to "monohull sailing" and "catamaran sailing". When you use "catamaran" instead of "multihull" you exclude trimarans, proas, etc., so you repeat the same conduct problem (biased focus) that we are fighting against. We have to be consistent with our reasoning.
