Posts: 164 fort Myers, FL | I would not count on Jobson to promote high performance sailing, judging by his comments on the 49er race (which was great fun to watch, boat pitching all over the place, with the Italians and Aussies pitching on the last leg of the race while in Gold and Silver positions...): "I have been around sailing for a long time. And every time I think I have seen it all something new happens. Today's 49er medal race was simply bizarre. In fact, it was the ugliest race I have seen in my 50 years on the water. Talk about agony, this was agony!" "The 49er was proving to be un-seaworthy for such harsh sailing conditions, and as fast as it had begun, the race evolved into a demolition derby." "I am sure there will be plenty of discussion about the use of the 49er for future Olympics." Gary Jobson Commentary

I would not agree, you are not doing bad. Your Tornado team did a gamble, and appears to have lost, but else you are at the top of the game. Consider the difference in funding and how most of your guys travel to Europe for training and you are doing very well. When that have been said: Go Bundy and Ashby!!! | | | Re: Olympic Tornado TV Coverage???

Why are some people "involved" in sailing so afraid of change. I guess they want to hark back to the days of oilskins, very heavy boats and wooden masts - not the future of sailing.
