Guys / John, did the IOC state that the mixed event has to be in a multihull or did they just state that the ISAF had to include a mixed event and it was the ISAF that decided that it will be in a multihull? John personally I dont think this thread has turned into a bummer, It has given club cat sailers the oppertunity to express themselves and their opinions, to share others thoughts and ideas, it certainly hasnt degenerated into a slinging match, although we may have different opinions it dosent mean either of us is wrong, and I for one have valued your imput, along with others here..
