It's just that there are much better options for a games boat.
It would be a terrible shame to select a boat for the next 20 years of Olympic competition if it's not at the forefront of current thinking. Otherwise we will end up with yet another star class situation with an irrelevant boat and discipline, no media attraction or desire from youngsters to one day sail that boat.
Here's where I disagree with you. It's not the boat that's wins the medals, IT'S THE PEOPLE!!!!
Frankly I would love to see Coutts, Baird,etc race opti's against each other. Who here wouldn't want to see that. The truth is the Tornado was way ahead of it's time. Look at what it does with a modern sail plan. How many boats rate significantly faster in the 20 ft range?
Maybe what's needed is a new bow on the T so that some of the people that are watching can feel better about it.
