I'm with Macca on that one. I get the gist of his argument and I agree with him.
Mixed is not good for the IOC. Some countries just reject mixed sports. Don't get me started on that. So the IOC is not going to be happy with another mixed sport. Heck mixed was one of the reasons the Tornado was pushed out!
Open doesn't work either. I'm sorry but how many women participated in the "Open" tornado olympics? Forget it.
Olympics are sexists. As such multihulls need two events.
Note that I haven't mentioned anything about equipment yet.
So here you go, my ideal sailing olympics (10 events, one can dream):
Men single hander: RS600 foiler (trapeze + foils) Women single hander: Flying Moth Men double hander: 49er Women double hander: Viper or similar cat Men team event: X40 or AC 45. One nationality per boat. Women team event: Match racing in 4knots **** box but with mandatory bikinis in team colors. Men boards: Anything that sink if not moving Women boards: Idem Men kite: Freestyle Women kite: freestyle
