If it's not about the boat why are we so worked up about the Tornado not being in the Olympics? What about the argument that having a cool multi in the Olympics will draw more attention then a slow, old, heavy keelboat?

How come people are all excited about the Blade F12? Why isn't the Hobie Bravo good enough for them?

Multihull sailing is by definition about the boat. Otherwise we wouldn't make the distinction - we'd just be sailing.
