Could you see the world choosing a single handed F16 or F17 for men's lightweight single hander and a Finn for a heavy weight single hander


IMO, the world could live with out a laser in the Olympics....and the public could not distinguish between a laser and a finn on the water and would not see a difference.

That would leave the men's side with an F17 or F16 single handed multihull

the Finn as a Single handed heavy weight dinghy
Keelboat 2 or three person spinaker boat or stay with Star
Two person dinghy.... (49ner or 470)
Windsurfer

This would leave all 5 major branches of sailing covered... two single handed classes sorted by weight and one two person dinghy class.

They could choose a modern keel boat for three person teams with a chute and you have the same number of mens olympic sailor and reflect the majority of sailors who race spinnaker keel boats.

So... could you see the class supporting them picking a Nacra F17, or one of the F16 builds or even the Marstrom M18 as an olympic singlehander for lightweight/midweight men's sailors?
