"If multihulls are selected to be back in the Olympics the Multihull Commission believe that it should be: 3 sails; twin trapeze; centreboard and a manufactures class. Size should be 16, 18 or 20ft. If a mixed multihull were selected they think in most case it would be female helm and male crew on something like a Formula 16."
The word "centreboard" indicates two things: british author and Tornado bias, one of the few cats not using daggerboards.
Depending on the context and other relevant details (I read only the post here) it could mean support for the Tornado in general, except for a mixed event, where an F16 or similar would be preferred.
