John, to assume that a Mixed multihull event is suitable then you have to assume that there is at least close to 50% participation in multihull sailing, otherwise this "mixed" event is not representative of multihull sailing.

F18, Tornado, F16 etc are all "open" events and there are women competing, so that would appear to be the best representation of our "niche" as you put it.

So, there should be 50% of these posts from women, and at the F18 worlds we should have around 90 women competing..... neither of which are happening so why the kiss do we have the potential for this to be an Olympic event?
