Besides fighting sports (boxing, Judo etc) we're the only sport I can think of that has "weight divisions" in that same class.
While I don't totally disagree with this I think we need to look at it. They don't have the 50m sprint in light weight and heavy divisions. I understand the differences but if we are going to be cutting out a major part of the sailing community (cats or windsurfers for example) at the cost of having a heavy dingy ASWEL as a "normal" dingy, ISAF need to re-think their priorities.
But from what I can see and heard I think they will be re-considering this... Lets just hope when it comes to vote it's not all about self serving and and back door politics.
