As an unofficial update from Athens; there continues to be significant support for a multihull event, and discussion still about the 5/5 approach in the hallways and in meetings. There is potential for submissions 096 and 097 to be deferred to the May meeting, which is a little discouraging. Some MNAs are concerned that things might be moving too quickly, and others that feel the wording is difficult to transform into Regulation. But even with all that, it seems that the overall desire to move the Olympic agenda forward is unflagging and inevitable. There will be official updates from the Multihull Commission at some point in the next few days.

The stage is set for the Council debate and voting on Saturday.
