If I sit on the ISAF committe... I know that all of my money comes from the Olympics... I know that the IOC wants the best and truly world wide competition. I know I have a unique / weird event... no other sailing competition is mandatory mixed.... so... automatically, I have the best in the world.. but nobody competes right now... and no equipment is favored.

So, what I really want to know ... what the vision is of this event within the Sailing games within the big picture. If I am a builder... I ALSO want to know what the vision is... Do you want a high tech marvel... baby tornado... or something more accessible.

You note that anyone can submit their boat on paper ... and then wait for the invite.. However, the spec's have these quirks... non conducting two part masts... which are NOT present in the world today and the market has clearly not asked for... so Why such an oddly constrained request?

I would go low end... accessible.. If not the hobie 16... something low tech and affordable.
