South Carolina | All I know is that a bunch of mixed teams showed up to sail last weekend. That was cool.

Palm Harbor, FL | Mike,
Seriously, if you were charged with bringing multi-hulls back into the Olympics, would you make the event:
1) Men only
2) Women only
3) Open
4) Mixed
or some other combination? And what would you expect the result to be?
Jake,
You are so right. I will hazard to guess that if the event had been open, more boats would have competed, but with fewer females. Would that have been better, or worse do you think?

Australia | Is there any evidence from ISAF that they have the slightest intention to grow the multihull from the current mixed discipline to 2 events in 2020? You know as well as any how it works. There is a renewed discussion every quad. At present, there are ISAF committee members and MNA representatives that are very much on-board with this longer-range plan. Coming up with that plan was one of the first things done when we lost the last event. Unfortunately I do know how it works... and thats exactly why I question the logic in believing there is a plan or pathway to two events for 2020. The backroom dealings that have taken place so far since the selection of mixed are of a level that even I struggle to believe and yet they continue, so I see very little chance that the right moves will be made for 2016 or 2020. So, to that end I propose that we all go sailing and forget the whole debacle that is the Olympics. We all know its much better to go sailing than it is to fight a losing battle about it.  | | | Re: Mixed Multihull Evaluation

That was not a cheap shot at young girls in the Olympics (or China?). It was a shot at you dirty old men asking for skimpy clothing requirements for a group composed primarily of teenagers.

| Visit your local high school next year during girls volleyball season. Or girls track. We had a track team disqualified because their shorts were so skimpy and sheer! The year before the parents overruled the girls choice for volleyball uniforms. Mind you the girls are selecting these uniforms. I don't know what they're thinking but it's easy on the eye!

What? That teen girls don't always make good choices or that you're a monk? What am I supposed to do, gouge my eyes out?
